the starting point of this paper is given by priestley’s papers, where a theory of representation of distributive lattices is presented. the purpose of this paper is to develop a representation theory of fuzzy distributive lattices in the finite case. in this way, some results of priestley’s papers are extended. in the main theorem, we show that the category of finite fuzzy priestley space...

‎A common approach to determine efficient solutions of a multiple objective optimization problem‎ ‎is reformulating it to a parameter dependent scalar optimization problem‎. ‎This reformulation is called scalarization approach‎. Here, a well-known scalarization approach named Pascoletti-Serafini scalarization is considered‎. First, some difficulties of this scalarization are discussed and then ...

Over the years increasing sophisticated planning algorithms have been developed. These have made for more efficient planners. However, current state of the art planners still suffer from severe complexity problems, problems that can surface even in domains in which good plans are easy to generate, like the blocks world. Planners generally employ search to find plans, and planning research has i...

Huang and Zhang cite{Huang} have introduced the concept of cone metric space where the set of real numbers is replaced by an ordered Banach space. Shojaei cite{shojaei} has obtained points of coincidence and common fixed points for s-Contraction mappings which satisfy generalized contractive type conditions in a complete cone metric space.In this paper, the notion of complete cone metric ...

In the present paper, we show the existence of a coupled fixed point for a non-decreasing mapping in partially ordered complete metric space using a partial order induced by an appropriate function φ. We also define the concept of weakly related mappings on an ordered space. Moreover common coupled fixed points for two and three weakly related mappings are also proved in the same space.

This paper is concerned with mixed monotone mappings in partially ordered cone metric spaces. We establish several fixed point theorems, which generalize and complement some known results. Especially, even in a partially ordered metric space, our main results are generalizations of the fixed point theorems due to Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [T. Grana Bhaskar, V. Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theor...

In concept learning from instances, a partially ordered concept space is searched. Whereas top-down methods search the whole space, bottom-up methods search a reduced space whose elements are most specific generalizations of positive instances. In this work we give the foundations for this reduction, and propose a method that performs a bidirectional search of this reduced space using a Tabu se...
