This paper proposes a new fuzzy similarity measure to calculate the degree of similarity of generalized fuzzy numbers (GFN’s).The fuzzy similarity measure is developed by integrating the concept of centre of gravity (COG) points and fuzzy difference of distance of points of fuzzy numbers. A fuzzy description for difference of distances between fuzzy numbers in its turn exploits appropriate simi...

Image sharpening refers to any enhancement technique that highlights edges and fine details in an image. The conventional methods for sharpening the images has several drawbacks such as, complex and slow calculations, color loss, anisotropy effects etc. In this paper, a new fuzzy filter is proposed for sharpening the color images. The sharpening fuzzy filter consists of two sub-filters. The fir...

FCM-type cluster validation is a technique for searching for the optimal fuzzy partition, in which the number of clusters is evaluated by considering the degree of overlapping of fuzzy memberships, cluster compactness or cluster separation. In this paper, a new approach for FCM-type cluster validation in fuzzy co-clustering is proposed. Because fuzzy co-clustering does not use cluster prototype...

Given a set S, we deene Galois connections between the lattice of fuzzy subgroups of transformations in S, the lattice of the similarities in S and the lattice of the distances in S.

This paper deals with motion planning of multiple mobile robots. Mobile robots working together to achieve several objectives have many advantages over single robot system. However, the planning and coordination between the mobile robots is extremely difficult. In the present investigation rule-based and rulebased-neuro-fuzzy techniques are analyzed for multiple mobile robots navigation in an u...

Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering is based on minimizing the fuzzy within cluster scatter matrix trace but FCM neglects the between cluster scatter matrix trace that controls the distances between the class centroids. Based on the principle of cluster centers separation, fuzzy cluster centers separation (FCCS) clustering is an extended fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm. FCCS attaches import...

This paper addresses the added value that is provided by using distance-based fuzzy relations in flexible query answering. To use distances and/or concepts of gradual similarity in that domain is not new. Within the last ten years, however, results in the theory of fuzzy relations have emerged that permit a smooth and pragmatic, yet expressive and effective, integration of ordinal concepts too....
