The shortest path problem (SPP) is one of the most important combinatorial optimization problems in graph theory due to its various applications. The uncertainty existing in the real world problems makes it difficult to determine the arc lengths exactly. The fuzzy set is one of the popular tools to represent and handle uncertainty in information due to incompleteness or inexactness. In most cas...

Type-2 fuzzy sets and complex fuzzy sets are both three dimensional extensions of type-1 fuzzy sets. Complex fuzzy sets come in two forms, the standard form, postulated in 2002 by Ramot et al., and the 2011 innovation of pure complex fuzzy sets, proposed by Tamir et al.. In this paper we compare and contrast both forms of complex fuzzy set with type-2 fuzzy sets, as regards their rationales, ap...

it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

in this paper, we construct two fuzzy sets using the notions of level subsets and strong level subsets of a given fuzzy set in a ring r. these fuzzy sets turn out to be identical and provide a universal construction of a fuzzy ideal generated by a given fuzzy set in a ring. using this construction and employing the technique of strong level subsets, we provide the shortest and direct fuzzy set ...

the starting point of this paper is given by priestley’s papers, where a theory of representation of distributive lattices is presented. the purpose of this paper is to develop a representation theory of fuzzy distributive lattices in the finite case. in this way, some results of priestley’s papers are extended. in the main theorem, we show that the category of finite fuzzy priestley space...

let $r$ be a commutative ring. we write $mbox{hom}(mu_a, nu_b)$ for the set of all fuzzy $r$-morphisms from $mu_a$ to $nu_b$, where $mu_a$ and $nu_b$ are two fuzzy $r$-modules. we make$mbox{hom}(mu_a, nu_b)$ into fuzzy $r$-module by redefining a function $alpha:mbox{hom}(mu_a, nu_b)longrightarrow [0,1]$. we study the properties of the functor $mbox{hom}(mu_a,-):frmbox{-mod}rightarrow frmbox{-mo...

in this paper, some fundamental concepts are given relating to fuzzytopological spaces. then it is shown that there is a contravariant functorfrom the category of the pointed fuzzy topological spaces to the category ofgroups and homomorphisms. also the fuzzy topological spaces which are hopfspaces are investigated and it is shown that a pointed fuzzy toplogicalspace having the same homotopy typ...

fuzzy rough n-ary subhypergroups are introduced and characterized.

in this paper we introduce the notions of fuzzy transposition hypergroupsand fuzzy regular relations and investigate their basic properties.we also study fuzzy quotient hypergroups of a fuzzy transposition hypergroup.
