In this special issue on "Fuzzy Expert Systems," six papers cover a wide range of concerns--from theory to applications including: (1) a rule base reorganization, (2) a linear interpolation, (3) a neuro-fuzzy approach to pairwise comparison, (4) properties of reduction, in transitive matrices, (5) a consistency checking procedure, and (6) a context dependency model. We present a brief review of...

This paper investigates roughness of fuzzy soft sets. A pair of fuzzy soft rough approximations is proposed and their properties are given. Based on fuzzy soft rough approximations, the concept of fuzzy soft rough sets is introduced. New types of fuzzy soft sets such as full, intersection complete and union complete fuzzy soft sets are defined and supported by some illustrative examples. We obt...

Rough set theory was proposed by Pawlak [1] as a mathematical tool to handle imprecision and uncertainty in data analysis. It has been successfully applied tomachine learning, intelligent systems, inductive reasoning, pattern recognition, mereology, image processing, signal analysis, knowledge discovery, decision analysis, expert systems, and many other fields [2–5]. The basic structure of roug...

the aim of this paper is to introduce $(l,m)$-fuzzy closurestructure where $l$ and $m$ are strictly two-sided, commutativequantales. firstly, we define $(l,m)$-fuzzy closure spaces and getsome relations between $(l,m)$-double fuzzy topological spaces and$(l,m)$-fuzzy closure spaces. then, we introduce initial$(l,m)$-fuzzy closure structures and we prove that the category$(l,m)$-{bf fc} of $(l,m...

In this paper, the universal approximation property of one of the most frequently used type of fuzzy systems is proved. The type of fuzzy system in the present work employs triangle-shaped fuzzy membership functions (TSMF) for its input variables. The proof of the universal approximation property does not use the Stone-Weierstrass theorem because the TSMFs are not closed for the product; instea...

Tooth decay is a common problem among people due to many factors, including neglect clean teeth. Dental caries becoming more in number of countries worldwide. This study aims determine the prevalence dental and how treat this problem. We also implement fuzzy soft multifunction between topological spaces which Smarandache?s generation notion. In paper, we generated additional topologies for an i...

an idea of fuzzy reexivity of felbin's type fuzzy normed linear spaces is introduced and its properties are studied. concept of fuzzy uniform normal structure is given and using the geometric properties of this concept xed point theorems are proved in fuzzy normed linear spaces.

In this paper, we develop the fuzzy fixed charge transportation problem when the costs are the fuzzy numbers. The first step it transform into the classical fuzzy transportation problem. The next, we obtain the best approximation fuzzy on the optimal value of the fuzzy fixed-charge transportation problem. This method obtains a lower and upper bounds both on the fuzzy optimal value of the fuzzy ...

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the coverage of a fault tolerance mechanism through statistical processing of observations collected in fault-injection experiments. In an earlier paper, several techniques for sampling the fault/activity input space of a fault tolerance mechanism were presented. Various estimators based on simple sampling in the whole space and stratified sampling...

Rough set theory is a suitable tool for dealing with the imprecision, uncertainty, incompleteness, and vagueness of knowledge. In this paper, new lower and upper approximation operators for generalized fuzzy rough sets are constructed, and their definitions are expanded to the interval-valued environment. Furthermore, the properties of this type of rough sets are analyzed. These operators are s...
