There are examples of algorithms which allow the e cient computation of the concepts of a given formal context. However, when one wants to apply those algorithms to an arbitrary closure operator, which might not be given by a formal context, those algorithms cannot be applied directly. Therefore we want to discuss the problem of nding an appropriate formal context for a given closure operator, ...

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...

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...

We propose a framework for managing resources via convergent operators. Operators represent their need for a resource to a designated resource closure operator that manages the resource. We evaluate a specific design for a resource closure operator by simulation and demonstrate that the operator achieves a near-optimal balance between cost and value without using any model of the relationship b...

The type-1 OWA operator is a new aggregation operator that is used to directly aggregate fuzzy sets via an OWA mechanism. In this paper, an α-level type-1 OWA operator capable of aggregating the α-cuts of fuzzy sets is proposed. Based on the fuzzy set Representation Theorem, we indicate that a general type-1 OWA operator can be represented by its α-level type-1 OWA operators. This result is ver...

We develop some new cases of the induced continuous ordered weighted averaging (ICOWA) operator and study their desirable properties, which are very suitable to deal with group decision making (GDM) with interval fuzzy preference relations. First, we present the consensus indicator ICOWA (CI-ICOWA) operator which uses the consensus indicator of the interval fuzzy preference as the order inducin...

In this paper, we introduce and formulate the definitions of Banach operator type k and Banach operator pair on intuitionistic fuzzy metric space. Thereafter we prove some properties and theorems on intuitionistic fuzzy metric space.
