The paper presents an overview of a computation friendly calculus of fuzzy relations. It is presented within the framework of an enriched generic algebra of relations that we have been developing since 1979. It is enriched with BK-non-associative products of relations of three kinds: triangle subproduct C, superproduct B and the square product . The BK-products have been useful in concise formu...

UNLABELLED RRTree is a user-friendly program for comparing substitution rates between lineages of protein or DNA sequences, relative to an outgroup, through relative rate tests. Genetic diversity is taken into account through use of several sequences, and phylogenetic relations are integrated by topological weighting. AVAILABILITY The ANSI C source code of RRTree, and compiled versions for Ma...

In fact, when logical relations among the variables are present incoherence can arise in the probability evaluations. The aim of this paper is to remove such incoherences by using different methods. Specific precise distances minimization or least committal imprecise ...
