This work proposes a new pseudo-metric based on fuzzy partitions (FPs). This pseudo-metric allows for the introduction of expert knowledge into distance computations performed on numerical data and can be used in various types of statistical clustering or other applications. The knowledge is formalized by a FP, in which each fuzzy set represents a linguistic concept. The pseudo-metric is design...

Distances in the well known fuzzy c-means algorithm of Bezdek (1973) are measured by the squared Euclidean distance. Other distances have been used as well in fuzzy clustering. For example, Jajuga (1991) proposed to use the L1-distance and Bobrowski and Bezdek (1991) also used the L∞-distance. For the more general case of Minkowski distance and the case of using a root of the squared Minkowski ...

Simulations and bisimulations between two fuzzy automata over a complete residuated lattice were defined by Ćirić et al. (2012) [7], [8] as relations the sets of states automata. However, they act crisp relationship In particular, if there exists (forward) bisimulation automata, then languages recognized them are crisply equal. Approximate simulations introduced Stanimirović (2022) [36] aim at ...

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we show that the expectation absolute value difference between two copies, not necessarily independent, a random variable measure its variability in sense Bickel and Lehmann (1979). Moreover, if copies are negatively dependent through stochastic ordering, subadditive. second purpose to provide sufficient conditions for comparing several distances pairs v...
