Aggregation of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is studied from the point of view of preserving various kinds of convexity. We focus on aggregation functions for intuitionistic fuzzy sets. These functions correspond to simultaneous separate aggregations of the membership as well as of the nonmembership indicators. It is performed by means of the so-called representable functions. Sufficient and necess...

In this paper we embed the space of upper semicontinuous convex fuzzy sets on a Banach space into a space of continuous functions on a compact space. The following structures are preserved by the embedding: convex cone, metric, sup-semilattice. The indicator function of the unit ball is mapped to the constant function 1. Two applications are presented: strong laws of large numbers for fuzzy ran...

In this paper, the notion of $L$-convex fuzzy sublattices is introduced and their characterizations are given. Furthermore,  the notion of the degree to which an $L$-subset is an $L$-convex fuzzy sublattice is proposed and its some  characterizations are given. Besides, the $L$-convex fuzzy sublattice degrees of the homomorphic image and pre-image of an $L$-subset are studied. Finally, we obtai...

This thesis develops measures that enable comparisons of subjective information that is represented through fuzzy sets. Many applications rely on information that is subjective and imprecise due to varying contexts and so fuzzy sets were developed as a method of modelling uncertain data. However, making relative comparisons between data-driven fuzzy sets can be challenging. For example, when da...

The description of the error dynamics (30) in our paper [1] contains an omission that leads to some bounds used in the conditions of Theorem 8 and Corollary 2 in the paper to be incorrectly defined. In what follows, the correct error dynamics and the corresponding conditions are given. Instead of (30) in [1], the error dynamics are actually given by ė = m ∑ i=1 wi(z)[(Ai − LiC +MiAδi)e +Mi(Āδix̂...

This paper is a brief summary of “M.Takahashi, T.Murofushi, S.Asahina, A new necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, to appear.” This paper states that a newly defined condition, called condition (M), is a necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff theorem in non-additive measure theory. The existing necessary an...

In this note we first redefine the notion of a fuzzy hypervectorspace (see [1]) and then introduce some further concepts of fuzzy hypervectorspaces, such as fuzzy convex and balance fuzzy subsets in fuzzy hypervectorspaces over valued fields. Finally, we briefly discuss on the convex (balanced)hull of a given fuzzy set of a hypervector space.

The concept of upper and lower semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings introduced by Bao and Wu [Y.E. Bao, C.X. Wu, Convexity and semicontinuity of fuzzy mappings, Comput. Math. Appl., 51 (2006) 1809–1816] is redefined by using the concept of parameterized triples of fuzzy numbers. On the basis of the linear ordering of fuzzy numbers proposed by Goetschel and Voxman [R. Goetschel, W. Voxman, Elementar...

In (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 97 (1998) 33), we presented a fuzzy multipurpose decision making model integrating di4erent preference representations based on additive reciprocal fuzzy preference relations. The main aim of this paper is to complete the decision model studying conditions under which reciprocity property is maintained when aggregating preference relations using an OWA operator guided...

In reply to Péter Majlender, the connection between the (maximum spread) equidifferent OWA operator weights and the analytical method for the minimum variance OWA operator problem [R. Fullér, P. Majlender, On obtaining minimal variability OWA operator weights, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 203–215] is pointed out and the differences between them are clarified. 2006 Elsevier Inc.
