in this paper, we study fuzzy substructures in connection withhv-structures. the original idea comes from geometry, especially from thetwo dimensional euclidean vector space. using parameters, we obtain a largenumber of hyperstructures of the group-like or ring-like types. we connect,also, the mentioned hyperstructures with the theta-operations to obtain morestrict hyperstructures, as hv-groups...

Gupta and Ray (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 54 (1993) 191) introduced the notion of fuzzy projective planes. We show that an old theorem of Dembowski classi$es all $nite fuzzy projective planes, that the examples in Gupta and Ray (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 54 (1993) 191) arise from ordinary projective planes and have much easier descriptions that can easily be generalized, and that there exist fuzzy pro...

energy is a critical factor to obtain a sustainable development for countries and governments. selection of the most appropriate energy alternative is a completely critical and a complex decision making problem. in this paper, an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets is proposed for selection among energy alternatives. then a roadmap has been cr...

Type-2 fuzzy sets are growing in popularity as, for certain applications they model uncertainty and imprecision better than type1 fuzzy sets. However, type-2 fuzzy sets can be difficult to understand and explain. Recent work has introduced embedded type-2 fuzzy sets and the Representation Theorem which enable us to discuss type-2 fuzzy sets in a different way. In particular they allow for alter...

Powerset structures of extensional fuzzy sets in sets with similarity relations are investigated. It is proved that extensional fuzzy sets have powerset structures which are powerset theories in the category of sets with similarity relations, and some of these powerset theories are defined also by algebraic theories (monads). Between Zadeh's fuzzy powerset theory and the classical powerset theo...

We consider a multiple-rule, generalized modus ponens inference scheme, with an interpretation based on compositional rule of inference (CRI) and a residuated implication. We show that such a system is equivalent, as far as CRI is concerned, to a system that satis5es the “basic requirement for fuzzy reasoning”, proposed by Turksen and Tian (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 58 (1993) 3–40). We establish a...

In this paper, a new definition of fuzzy bounded sets and totallyfuzzy bounded sets is introduced and properties of such sets are studied. Thena relation between totally fuzzy bounded sets and N-compactness is discussed.Finally, a geometric characterization for fuzzy totally bounded sets in I- topologicalvector spaces is derived.

Recently, Carlsson and Fuller [C. Carlsson, R. Fuller, On possibilistic mean value and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 122 (2001) 315–326] have introduced possibilistic mean, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers and Fuller and Majlender [R. Fuller, P. Majlender, On weighted possibilistic mean and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 363–374] have in...

Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria ana...
