in the present paper we define the notion of fuzzy inner productand study the properties of the corresponding fuzzy norm. in particular, it isshown that the cauchy-schwarz inequality holds. moreover, it is proved thatevery such fuzzy inner product space can be imbedded in a complete one andthat every subspace of a fuzzy hilbert space has a complementary subspace.finally, the notions of fuzzy bo...

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...

t is the purpose of this paper to contribute to the discussion initiated bywachter about the parallelism between principal component (pc) and atypological grade of membership (gom) analysis. the author testedempirically the close relationship between both analysis in a lowdimensional framework comprising up to nine dichotomous variables and twotypologies. our contribution to the subject is also...

A real world fuzzy set should be able to tolerate ”small amounts” of perturbations. In type II fuzzy set represents each grade is represented by a fuzzy number. In other words, each grade may be perturbed independently. Such an ”independent perturbation” is inadequate, when a membership function is required to be continuous, differentiable, and etc. Pointwise perturbation cannot guarantee the c...

Due to the nature of the geological and mining activities, different input parameters in the grade estimation and mineral resource evaluation are always tainted with uncertainties. It is possible to investigate the uncertainties related to the measurements and parameters of the variogram model using the fuzzy kriging method instead of the kriging method. The fuzzy kriging theory has already bee...

We begin the paper studying the axioms that the indicators of the grade of inclusion of a fuzzy set in another fuzzy set must satisfy. Next, we present an expression of such indicator, ®rst for fuzzy sets and then for interval-valued fuzzy sets, analyzing in both cases their main properties. Then, we suggest an expression for the similarity measure between interval-valued fuzzy sets. Besides, w...
