In this paper, we first use a fuzzy preference relation with a membership function representing preference degree forcomparing two interval-valued fuzzy numbers and then utilize a relative preference relation improved from the fuzzypreference relation to rank a set of interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Since the fuzzy preference relation is a total orderingrelation that satisfies reciprocal and tra...

We reformulate Mesiar’s hypothesis [Possibility measures, integration and fuzzy possibility measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 92 (1997) 191196], which as such was shown to be untrue by Murofushi [Two-valued possibility measures induced by σ-finite σ-additive measures, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 126 (2002) 265268]. We prove that a two-valued σ-maxitive measure can be induced by a σ-additive measure u...

this paper introduces a new approach to topology, based on category theory and universal algebra, and called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. it incorporates the most important settings of lattice-valued topology, including poslat topology of s.~e.~rodabaugh, $(l,m)$-fuzzy topology of t.~kubiak and a.~v{s}ostak, and $m$-fuzzy topology on $l$-fuzzy sets of c.~guido. moreover, its respe...

The choice of membership functions plays an essential role in the success of fuzzy systems. This is a complex problem due to the possible lack of knowledge when assigning punctual values as membership degrees. To face this handicap, we propose a methodology called Ignorance functions based Interval-Valued Fuzzy Decision Tree with genetic tuning, IIVFDT for short, which allows to improve the per...

The aim of this paper is to define the productoperation on a family of interval valued events and the notion ofjoint interval valued observable. We show the connection betweenproduct operations for interval valued events and intuitionisticfuzzy events, too. We display the relation between joint intervalvalued observable and joint intuitionistic fuzzy observable. We...

In this paper we introduce an application of intervalvalued systems to the segmentation of prostate ultrasound images. The system classifies each pixel as prostate or background. The input variables are the values of each pixel in different processed images as proximity, edginess and enhanced image. The system has 20 rules and is trained with ideal images segmented by an expert. Interval-valued...

In this paper, we introduce  the notions of   interval-valued and $(in,ivq)$-interval-valued fuzzy ($p$-,$q$- and $a$-) ideals    of   BCI algebras   and investigate some of their properties.   We then derive characterization theorems for these generalized interval-valued fuzzy ideals  and discuss their relationship.

In this paper, we introduce a new sort of interval valued $left(in ,in vee q_{widetilde{k}}^{widetilde{delta }}right) $-fuzzy bi-ideal in ordered semigroups which is the generalization of interval valued $left( in ,in vee q_{%widetilde{k}}right) $-fuzzy bi-ideal and interval valued $left( in ,in vee qright) $-fuzzy bi-ideal of ordered semigroups. We give examples in which we show that these str...

Fuzzy Logic, introduced by Zadeh along with his introduction of fuzzy sets, is a continuous multi-valued logic system. Hence, it is a generalization of the classical logic and the classical discrete multi-valued logic (e.g. Łukasiewicz’ three/many-valued logic). Throughout the years Zadeh and other researches have introduced extensions to the theory of fuzzy setts and fuzzy logic. Notable exten...
