background and aims: one of the main goals of standard orthodontic treatment is having the roots of teeth adjacent to extraction sites parallel to each other. the purpose of this study was to compare standard edgewise and preadjusted straight wire (mbt) methods in achieving this goal. materials and methods: for comparing root parallelism, 228 maxillary quadrants and 225 mandibular quadrants of ...

Complete lattices and closure operators in ordered sets are considered from the point of view of fuzzy logic. A typical example of a fuzzy order is the graded subsethood of fuzzy sets. Graded subsethood makes the set of all fuzzy sets in a given universe into a completely lattice fuzzy ordered set (i.e. a complete lattice in fuzzy setting). Another example of a completely lattice fuzzy ordered ...

In a previous paper, Elorza and Burillo explored the coherence property in fuzzy consequence operators. In this paper we show that fuzzy closing operators of mathematical morphology are always coherent operators. We also show that the coherence property is the key to link the four following families: fuzzy closing morphological operators, fuzzy consequence operators, fuzzy preorders and fuzzy c...

the present paper introduces the notion of the complete fuzzy norm on a linear space. and, some relations between the fuzzy completeness and ordinary completeness on a linear space is considered, moreover a new form of fuzzy compact spaces, namely b-compact spaces and b-closed spaces are introduced. some characterizations of their properties are obtained.

It is given a new algorithm to compute a lower T-transitive approximation of a fuzzy relation that preserves symmetry. Given a reflexive and symmetric fuzzy relation, the new algorithm computes a T-indistinguishability that is contained in the fuzzy relation. It has been developed a C++ program that generates random symmetric fuzzy relations or random symmetric and reflexive fuzzy relations and...

motivated by samet et al. [nonlinear anal., 75(4) (2012), 2154-2165], we introduce the notions of $alpha$-$phi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and $beta$-$psi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and prove two theorems which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for these two types of mappings. the presented theorems extend, generalize and improve the corresponding results given in the literature.

In the current paper, consider the fuzzy normed linear space $(X,N)$ which is defined by Bag and Samanta. First, we construct a new fuzzy topology on this space and show that these spaces are Hausdorff locally convex fuzzy topological vector space. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are established to illustrate that the presented fuzzy topology is equivalent to two previously studied fuz...

in this paper, we generalize fuzzy banach contraction theorem establishedby v. gregori and a. sapena [fuzzy sets and systems 125 (2002) 245-252]using notion of altering distance which was initiated by khan et al. [bull. austral.math. soc., 30(1984), 1-9] in metric spaces.

In this paper, we present equivalent characterizations of L-closure systems on lower bounded complete L-ordered sets and complete L-lattices, respectively. These results demonstrate the feasibility of notion of fuzzy closure system developed in our previous work (L.-K. Guo, G.-Q. Zhang, Q.-G. Li: Fuzzy closure systems on L-ordered sets. Math. Log. Quart. 57 (3) (2011), 281-291.). Also we develo...
