In this paper cores and stable sets for games with fuzzy coalitions are introduced and their relations studied. For convex fuzzy games it turns out that all cores coincide and that the core is the unique stable set. Also relations between cores and stable sets for fuzzy clan games are discussed.

In this paper, the concept of fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) of an ordered group (resp. lattice-ordered group) is introduced and some properties, characterizations and related results are given. Also, the fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) generated by a fuzzy subgroup (resp. fuzzy subsemigroup) is characterized. Furthermore,...

T is my great pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural I issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON FUZZY SYSTEMS. Many of you are probably quite familiar with the basic ideas underlying fuzzy sets and systems that utilize fuzzy models. However, there will also be readers who are looking at the contents of this issue, wondering what it’s all about. For this latter group, the papers in this first issue m...

Two classes of fuzzy mappings, called pseudolinear and g-pseudolinear fuzzy mappings are introduced by relaxing the definitions of pseudo-convex and pseudo-invex fuzzy mappings. First, some characterizations of pseudolinear and g-pseudolinear fuzzy mappings are obtained. Then, characterizations of the solution sets of pseudolinear and g-pseudolinear fuzzy programs are derived.

Fuzzy linear regression is an interesting tool for handling uncertain data samples as an alternative to a probabilistic approach. This paper sets forth uses a linear regression model for fuzzy variables; the model is optimized through convex methods. A fuzzy linear programming model has been designed to solve the problem with nonlinear fuzzy data by combining the fuzzy arithmetic theory with co...

The lattice Lu of upper semicontinuous convex normal functions with convolution ordering arises in studies of type-2 fuzzy sets. In 2002, Kawaguchi and Miyakoshi [Extended t-norms as logical connectives of fuzzy truth values, Multiple-Valued Logic 8(1) (2002) 53–69] showed that this lattice is a complete Heyting algebra. Later, Harding et al. [Lattices of convex, normal functions, Fuzzy Sets an...

A measure of nonspecificity is proposed for fuzzy sets with continuous membership functions defined, in general, on the n-dimensional Euclidean space R". The proposed measure is restricted to fuzzy sets that are convex. The measure is justified in terms of the usual axiomatic requirements.

Concave properties play a dominate role in solving both classic and fuzzy optimization problems. However, since fuzzy problems are generally represented by sets, not crisp numbers, various aggregation schemes are needed to manipulate and to combine the different elements in a fuzzy optimization problem. Based on these different aggregations, various concavity properties can be formulated and ex...

This paper targets to investigate the numerical solution of -th order fuzzy differential equations with fuzzy environment using Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). Triangular fuzzy convex normalized sets are used for the fuzzy parameter and variables. Obtained results are compared with the existing solution depicted in term of plots to show the efficiency of the applied method.
