In this paper we study two important concepts, i.e. the direct andthe inverse limit of hyperstructures associated with fuzzy sets of type 2, andshow that the direct and the inverse limit of hyperstructures associated withfuzzy sets of type 2 are also hyperstructures associated with fuzzy sets of type 2.

Welcome to the Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems’s special issue for “FUZZYSS’2011: 2nd International Fuzzy Systems Symposium”. Since its introduction by Prof. Dr. Lotfi A. Zadeh fuzzy logic, fuzzy sets and systems have been applied to various problems in many diverse areas. As everything try to evolve towards better states, the fuzzy theory and its applications are also evolving to mode...

In this paper we associate the three concepts of language, thinking, and meaning with Fuzzy Sets and Systems and Fuzzy Logic. We present some developments in 20 th century history of science and of humanities that show deep links between these concepts and we give a proposal for a fuzzy theoretical interpretation of what is meaning.

Recently, Vemuri and Jayaram proposed a novel method of generating fuzzy implications from a given pair of fuzzy implications. Viewing this as a binary operation ~ on the set I of all fuzzy implications they obtained, for the first time, a monoid structure (I,~) on the set I. Some algebraic aspects of (I,~) had already been explored and hitherto unknown representation results for the Yager’s fa...

This paper is a continuation of the first part of our study on type 〈1, 1〉 fuzzy quantifiers determined by fuzzy measures, in which the basic notions and examples were introduced. Here, we study the properties of permutation invariance and isomorphism invariance of fuzzy quantifiers determined by pairs of functionals (S, φ) and their special cases, e.g., fuzzy quantifiers defined by fuzzy measu...

In many contexts, type-2 fuzzy sets (T2 FS) are obtained from a type-1 set to which we wish add uncertainty. However, in the current representation, there is no restriction on shape of footprint uncertainty and embedded (ESs) that can be considered acceptable. This leads, usually, loss semantic relationship between T2 FS concept it models. As consequence, interpretability some ESs explainabilit...

In this paper, we shall give examples to answer that an open problem posed by De Baets et al. in “Triangular norms on product lattices (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 104(1999), 61-75)”.

Here are many situations in real applications of decision making where we deal with uncertain conditions.  Due to the different sources of uncertainty,  since its original definition of fuzzy sets in 1965 cite{zadeh1965},  different generalizations and extensions of fuzzy sets have been introduced: Type-2 fuzzy sets cite{6,13}, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets cite{1}, fuzzy multi-sets cite{37} and et...

In this note, we show by counterexamples that some results of Qiu and colleagues [On the restudy of fuzzy complex analysis: Part I. The sequence and series of fuzzy complex numbers and their convergences, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 115 (2000) 445–450; On the restudy of fuzzy complex analysis: Part II.
