Using Generalized Modus Ponens reasoning, we examine the values of the inferred conclusion by using Fodor's implication in order to interpret a fuzzy if-then rule with a single input single output and the tnorm ( ) ( )( ) ( xy y x max y , x t ) λ λ − − + + = 1 1 , 1 − ≥ λ , for composition operation. This t-norm is important to use because for 1 − = λ and 0 = λ it gives the commonly used t-norm...

The fuzzy rough sets and generalized fuzzy rough sets have been extended by three pairs of fuzzy logical operators to deal with real-valued data for a variety of models. Three pairs of fuzzy logical operators are triangular norm or t-norm and its dual (t-conorm), residual implicator or R-implicator and its dual, fuzzy implicator and t-norm, which are frequently discussed in generalization model...

We are interested in generalizations of the concepts of t-norm and t-conorm. In a companion chapter in this volume [14] we have presented a family of hypert-norms ∧q and a family of hyper-t-conorms ∨p. The prefix hyper is used to indicate multi-valued operations, also known as hyperoperations (see [5, 14]), i.e. operations which map pairs of elements to sets of elements. See [14] for the constr...

In this paper are introduced some concepts of interval-valued fuzzy relations and some of their properties: reflexivity, symmetry, T-transitivity, composition and local reflexivity. The existence and uniqueness of T-transitive closure of interval-valued fuzzy relations is proved. An algorithm to compute the T-transitive closure of finite interval-valued fuzzy relations is showed. Some propertie...

We study the transitivity of fuzzy preference relations, often considered as a fundamental property providing coherence to a decision process. We consider the transitivity of fuzzy relations w.r.t. conjunctors, a general class of binary operations on the unit interval encompassing the class of triangular norms usually considered for this purpose. Having fixed the transitivity of a large prefere...

In this paper we have generalized the concepts of   q   , -fuzzy ideals,   q   , -fuzzy quasi-ideals and   q   , -fuzzy bi-ideals by introducing the concepts of   k q   , -fuzzy ideals,   k q   , -fuzzy quasiideals and   k q   , -fuzzy bi-ideals in ternary semigroups and several related properties are investigated. Different characterizations of regular and weakly ...

Recently, the distributivity of fuzzy implications over t-norms, t-conorms and uninorms was studied in many articles. In this paper we characterize functions which satisfy one of the four generalized distributivity equations of classical implication in the case when t-conorms are continuous and Archimedean. Using the obtained characterizations we describe some solutions which are fuzzy implicat...

In this article, we propose a fuzzy class relation assigning to each pair of finite fuzzy sets a degree to which they are equipollent, which indicates that they have the same number of elements. The concepts of fuzzy sets and fuzzy classes in the class of all countable sets are introduced, and several standard relations and constructions, such as the fuzzy power set and exponentiation, are defi...
