The original aim of this research was the introduction of a compositive measure of information (see e.g. [5]) on a class (an algebra) of fuzzy subsets of an universe f2. However, there is a bijection between the class of compositive informations and the class of decomposable measures (see e.g. [2]). Therefore, we restated our problem as the one of the construction of a decomposable measure over...

The fuzzy sets defining the linguistic variable values can be seen as a fuzzy partition of the linguistic variable. The membership functions obtained using fuzzy clustering algorithms are defined with respect to the group prototypes, and they cannot be used to define the linguistic variable values. We introduce several criteria to pass from the clustering membership functions to the linguistic ...

In this paper, we propose a new machine learning approach based on AFS (Axiomatic Fuzzy Sets) fuzzy logic, in attempt to provide a better model with interpretability. First, we will concisely present the AFS theory. Second, we will propose new membership functions for fuzzy sets and their logic operations. Third, we will design a new machine learning algorithm based on the new membership functi...

Rubin and Narsimhan [1984] proposed a method for formulating fuzzy priorities in goal programming. They used the concept that the membership function based on nested priorities has to be concave to solve the fuzzy goal programming problem by linear programming method. In this paper, we relax the condition of concave membership function by quasi concave membership function. We showed that the fu...

Fuzzy linear regression models can provide an estimated fuzzy number that has a fuzzy membership function. If a point that has the highest membership value from the estimated fuzzy number is not within the support of the observed fuzzy membership function, a decisionmaker can have high risk from the estimate. In this study a new distance, between fuzzy numbers is proposed. On the basis of this ...

this article, by leaving pre-determined membership function of a fuzzy set which is a basic assumption for such subject, will try to propose a hybrid technique to select the most economic project among alternative projects in fuzziness interest rates condition. in this way, net present worth (npw) would be the economic indicator. this article tries to challenge the assumption of large sample si...

Knowledge extraction process poses certain problems like accessing sensitive, personal or business information. Privacy invasion occurs owing to the abuse of personal information. Hence privacy issues are challenging concern of the data miners. Privacy preservation is a complex task as it ensures the privacy of individuals without losing the accuracy of data mining results. In this paper, fuzzy...

Different models for computing the spatial relations have been developed in the last decade. Separate methods are used for computing topological, directional and distance relations. These models have also been extended in fuzzy domains based on fuzzy or vague objects and less attention has been paid to fuzzy relations. In this paper 8 fuzzy topological relations are computed with the help of 1D...

In this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an Au- tonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) are addressed. Yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. The discussed AUV has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. Two rule bases...

The fuzzy representation of the edges has been widely studied in different works. Generally, for each pixel, the authors use membership degrees linearly proportional to the magnitude of the gradient at that position of the image. This would be equivalent to using a triangular membership functions on the gradient magnitude. In this work we study the use of parametric functions in the transformat...
