The purpose of this paper is to present a classiication method of alternatives for multiple preference ordering criteria based on the concept of fuzzy majority. The fuzzy majority is represented by a fuzzy quantiier, and applied in the aggregation by means of an OWA operator whose weights are calculated by the fuzzy quantiier. For every preference ordering criterion we derive a preference order...

The decision of ‘appropriately’ choosing the order in which examinations are scheduled when constructing an examination timetable can be seen as a process of ordering alternatives from a set in order to find a good solution. In this paper, a comparison is made between fuzzy ordering with single and linear combinations of ordering heuristics. It is found that fuzzy ordering leads to better solut...

The objective of this paper is to deal with the fuzzy conic program- ming problems. The aim here is to derive weak and strong duality theorems for a general fuzzy conic programming. Toward this end, The convexity-like concept of fuzzy mappings is introduced and then a speci c ordering cone is established based on the parameterized representation of fuzzy numbers. Un- der this setting, duality t...

The concept of upper and lower semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings introduced by Bao and Wu [Y.E. Bao, C.X. Wu, Convexity and semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings, Comput. Math. Appl., 51 (2006) 1809–1816] is redefined by using the concept of parameterized triples of fuzzy numbers. On the basis of the linear ordering of fuzzy numbers proposed by Goetschel and Voxman [R. Goetschel, W. Voxman, Elementar...

In this paper we introduce a procedure, based on the max-min clustering method, that identifies a fixed order of training pattern presentation for fuzzy adaptive resonance theory mapping (ARTMAP). This procedure is referred to as the ordering algorithm, and the combination of this procedure with fuzzy ARTMAP is referred to as ordered fuzzy ARTMAP. Experimental results demonstrate that ordered f...

In this paper we introduce a procedure, based on the Max-Min clustering method, that identiies a xed order of training pattern presentation for Fuzzy ARTMAP. This procedure is referred to as the Ordering Algorithm, and the combination of this procedure with Fuzzy ARTMAP is referred to as Ordered Fuzzy ARTMAP. Experimental results demonstrate that Ordered Fuzzy ARTMAP exhibits a generalization p...

The representation of imprecise, uncertain or inconsistent information is not possible in relational databases, thus they require addonns to handle these types of information. One possible add-on is to allow the attributes to have values that are fuzzy sets on the attribute domain, which result in fuzzy relational databases (FRDB). From the implementational point of view, values are limited to ...

The Fuzzy set theory has been applied in many fields such as management, engineering and almost in every business enterprise as well as day to day activities. Ordering fuzzy numbers plays an important role in approximate reasoning, optimization, forecasting, decision making, risk analysis, controlling, scheduling and various other usages in our day to day activities. This paper describes a rank...

The aim of this paper is to present a general framework for comparing fuzzy sets with respect to a general class of fuzzy orderings. This approach includes known techniques based on generalizing the crisp linear ordering of real numbers by means of the extension principle, however, in its general form, it is applicable to any fuzzy subsets of any kind of universe for which a fuzzy ordering is k...

In this paper we introduce the notion of fuzzy  semigroup via fuzzy partial ordering and investigate some properties connected with fuzzy  semigroup. Keyword: Fuzzy  semigroup
