In this paper, a system consisting of single multi-state element (MSE) with performance rates and transition intensities presented as fuzzy values is introduced. Due to the lack, inaccuracy or fluctuation of collected data, it is often too difficult to evaluate the performance rates and transition intensities of multi-state element/system with precise value, especially in the continuous degrada...

Sometimes information in a network model is based on multi-agent, multi-attribute, multi-object, multi-polar information or uncertainty rather than a single bit. An m-polar fuzzy model is useful for such network models which gives more and more precision, flexibility, and comparability to the system as compared to the classical, fuzzy and bipolar fuzzy models. In this research article, we intro...

Topology is an important and major area of mathematics and it can give many relationships between other scientific areas and mathematical models.The aim of this paper is to construct intuitionistic fuzzy soft multi topological space and it is shown that an intuitionistic fuzzy soft multi topological space gives a family of parameterized topological spaces and some basic properties regarding wit...

In this paper, we present a new method for fuzzy information retrieval based on multi-relationship fuzzy concept networks. There are four kinds of fuzzy relationships in a multi-relationship fuzzy concept network, i.e., “fuzzy positive association” relationship, “fuzzy negative association” relationship, “fuzzy generalization” relationship and “fuzzy specialization” relationship. By performing ...

This paper discusses the properties of multi-fuzzy sets with product order and dictionary order on their membership functions. In particular the relationship between multi-fuzzy sets and other sets such as intuitionistic fuzzy sets, type-2 fuzzy sets, multisets and fuzzy multisets are studied. 2010 AMS Classification: 03E72, 06D72, 08A72

In this paper, we have introduced the concept of Q-single value neutrosophic soft set, multi Qsingle valued neutrosophic set and defined some basic results and related properties. We have also defined the idea of Q-single valued neutrosophic soft set, which is the genralizations of Q-fuzzy set, Q-intuitionistic fuzzy set, multi Q-fuzzy set , Multi Q-intuitionistic fuzzy set, Q-fuzzy soft set, Q...

Multi–granulation is an improvement of the classical rough set theory since it uses a family of binary relations instead of of a single indiscernibility relation for the constructing of approximation. In this paper, the multi–granulation rough set approach is further generalized into fuzzy environment. A family of fuzzy T–similarity relations are used to define the optimistic and pessimistic fu...

design and expansion of distribution systems seems inevitable in view of the need to satisfy the rise in energy consumption in a technical and economical way. optimal location, sizing and determining the service area of substations is one of the principle problems in expansion of distribution systems. also uncertainty is one of the important factors that increase risk of exact decision makings....

When dealing with multi-criteria decision making problems, the concept of Pareto-optimality and Pareto-dominance may be inefficient (e.g. generally multiple solutions exist), especially when there is a large number of criteria. Our paper considers the fuzzy multi-criteria decision making problem based on Zadeh’s linguistic approach to P-optimality and P-dominance. The construction, analysis and...
