A fuzzy logic-based color histogram analysis technique is presented for discriminating benign skin lesions from malignant melanomas in dermoscopy images. The approach extends previous research for utilizing a fuzzy set for skin lesion color for a specified class of skin lesions, using alpha-cut and support set cardinality for quantifying a fuzzy ratio skin lesion color feature. Skin lesion disc...

Parallelization of explicit finite element dynamics based on domain decomposition and message passing may utilize one of two partitioning cuts, namely cut led through the nodes and element edges or faces (node cut), or cut led across elements, avoiding nodes (element cut). The cost of serial explicit finite element dynamics (without considerations of mechanical contact) is almost wholly associa...

Control charts are widely used in industry as a tool to monitor process characteristics. Deviations from process targets can be detected based on the evidence of statistical significance. The control chart helps to take decisions such as the need for machine or technology replacement to monitor the process with categorical observations. Fuzzy logic is used to cram the uncertainty and vagueness ...

a sensor network is made up of a large number of sensors with limited energy. sensors collect environmental data then send them to the sink. energy efficiency and thereby increasing the lifetime of sensor networks is important. direct transfer of the data from each node to the central station will increase energy consumption. previous research has shown that the organization of nodes in cluster...

The world of manufacturing has shifted its level to the era of space age machining. The purpose of this investigation is to develop Fuzzy based Graphical User Interface (GUI) for modeling of laser machining conditions. The developed fuzzy based GUI is expected to overcome the major problems faced by most of the manufacturing industries nowadays with the increased number controllable parameters ...

Correlation Clustering is an elegant model that captures fundamental graph cut problems such as Min s − t Cut, Multiway Cut, and Multicut, extensively studied in combinatorial optimization. Here, we are given a graph with edges labeled + or − and the goal is to produce a clustering that agrees with the labels as much as possible: + edges within clusters and − edges across clusters. The classica...

We present a topological characterization for fuzzy regular languages: we show that there is a bijective correspondence between fuzzy regular languages and the set of all clopen fuzzy subsets with finite image in the induced fuzzy topological space of Stone space (Profinite space), and then we give a representation of closed fuzzy subsets in the induced fuzzy topological space via fuzzy regular...

Necessary and sufficient conditions under which two fuzzy sets (in the most general, poset valued setting) with the same domain have equal families of cut sets are given. The corresponding equivalence relation on the related fuzzy power set is investigated. Rela­ tionship of poset valued fuzzy sets and fuzzy sets for which the co-domain is Dedekind-MacNeille completion of that posets is deduced.

This paper is comprised of the modeling and optimization of a multi objective linear programming problem in fuzzy environment in which some goals are fractional and some are linear. Here, we present a new approach for its solution by using α-cut of fuzzy numbers. In this proposed method, we first define membership function for goals by introducing non-deviational variables for each of objective...
