Fuzzy neural networks can be trained with crisp and fuzzy data. J. Buckley and Y. Hayashi have shown that these networks are monotonic (see 2]) when extension principle based operations are used to compute the network output. In this paper we show that these networks are also overlapping. This property provides us with a means to theoretically analyse the output behaviour of fuzzy neural networ...

There is an intricate relationship between milk production, fertility and survival of cows, which is further confounded by management decisions on the farm. Holsteinization and selection for high milk production can be associated with reduction in cow fertility (Pryce et al., 1998; Silvia, 1998; Harris and Winkelman, 2000) because of its impact on physiological factors affecting reproduction su...

The application of information retrieval techniques in interactive environments requires systems capable of efficiently processing vague queries. To reach reasonable response times, new data structures and algorithms have to be developed. In this paper we describe an approach taking advantage of the conditions of interactive usage and special access paths. To have a reference we investigate tex...

Increasing numbers of tourists are requiring access to these natural areas, and in order to supply this need, opportunities exist in privately owned areas, and in those which have been modified in some way. These places are often used for other purposes such as pastoralism, mining, and agriculture, but they also have an alternative, high value use for tourism (Buckley, 1999; Schmiechen, 2004; W...

This paper presents a method to construct more general fuzzy complex numbers and sets from ordinary fuzzy complex numbers by introduced the ordered sequences of membership functions. It is concluded that multifuzzy complex set is an extension of Buckley fuzzy complex set. Also, two types of multi-fuzzy complex numbers based on the forms z x iy = + and z re = θ are investigated. Multi-Fuzzy Comp...
