We consider a multiple-rule, generalized modus ponens inference scheme, with an interpretation based on compositional rule of inference (CRI) and a residuated implication. We show that such a system is equivalent, as far as CRI is concerned, to a system that satis5es the “basic requirement for fuzzy reasoning”, proposed by Turksen and Tian (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 58 (1993) 3–40). We establish a...

The description of the error dynamics (30) in our paper [1] contains an omission that leads to some bounds used in the conditions of Theorem 8 and Corollary 2 in the paper to be incorrectly defined. In what follows, the correct error dynamics and the corresponding conditions are given. Instead of (30) in [1], the error dynamics are actually given by ė = m ∑ i=1 wi(z)[(Ai − LiC +MiAδi)e +Mi(Āδix̂...

Recently, Carlsson and Fuller [C. Carlsson, R. Fuller, On possibilistic mean value and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 122 (2001) 315–326] have introduced possibilistic mean, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers and Fuller and Majlender [R. Fuller, P. Majlender, On weighted possibilistic mean and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 363–374] have in...

This paper is a brief summary of “M.Takahashi, T.Murofushi, S.Asahina, A new necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, to appear.” This paper states that a newly defined condition, called condition (M), is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory. The existing necessary an...

Consider sets X and Y each with associated membership functions. Further suppose that there is a map f : X → Y . A membership may be induced onY from the membership ofX calculated using the extension principle, and the two memberships on Y may be combined to give an overall membership. The point with the highest membership in X can be determined directly or by back mapping the value with the hi...

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 (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 97 (1998) 33), we presented a fuzzy multipurpose decision making model integrating di4erent preference representations based on additive reciprocal fuzzy preference relations. The main aim of this paper is to complete the decision model studying conditions under which reciprocity property is maintained when aggregating preference relations using an OWA operator guided...

the aim of this paper is to initiate and investigate new soft sets over semihypergroups, named special soft sets and transitive soft sets and denoted by $s_{h}$ and  $t_{h},$ respectively. it is shown that $t_{h}=s_{h}$ if and only if $beta=beta^{*}.$ we also introduce the derived semihypergroup from a special soft set and study some properties of this class of semihypergroups.

Our interest in this paper is to define and study the concept of a fuzzy hypergroup, which depends on the concept of a fuzzy space. Indeed, the paper is a continuation of ideas presented by Davvaz [Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 101 (1999) 191-195]. A relation between a fuzzy hypergroup based on a fuzzy space and a fuzzy hypergroup in the sense of Davvaz is obtained 2010 AMS Classification: 20N20
