Noise filtering is the fundamental pre-processing step for digital images. In this paper we present a novel method in which the uncertainties of fuzzy membership function is modeled to reduce and the concept of this reduced uncertainties is used to detect the impulse corrupted pixels of digital images. Taking an interval instead of using a crisp value of membership function deals better with th...

In this paper we upgraded the Luhandjula’s method (Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 13(1), (1984), 11-23) for multiple objective linear plus fractional programming problems (MOL+FPP) with modification given by Dutta et al. (Fuzzy Sets and System, 52(1), (1992), 39-45). The aim of this paper is to show new fuzzy set approach for MOL+FPP by defining new membership function for linear function part and si...

In this paper, the concept of fuzzy graph is extended to a complex fuzzy graph. Complex fuzzy graphs are encountered in complex fuzzy set theory. The novelty of the complex fuzzy set lies in the range of values its membership function may attain. In contrast to a traditional fuzzy membership function, this range is not limited to [0, 1], but extended to the unit circle in the complex plane. Thu...

nowadays, it has demonstrated that viruses can be transmitted by water and foods. therefore, it causes the research to develop for detecting different viruses in water and foods. among foods, milk can transfer potentially pathogenic viruses. on the other hand, to achieve every method for recovery and extraction of viruses in raw milk it needs to know about impact of milk components on viruses. ...

In this paper, a fuzzy modeling method using genetic algorithms (GAs) with a conciseness measure is presented. This paper introduces De Luca and Termini's fuzzy entropy to evaluate the shape of a membership function, and proposes another measure to evaluate the deviation of a membership function from symmetry. A combined measure is then derived from these two measures, and a new conciseness mea...

Fuzzy sets are naturally ordered by the subsethood relation A ⊆ B. If we only know which set which fuzzy set is a subset of which – and have no access to the actual values of the corresponding membership functions – can we detect which fuzzy sets are crisp? In this paper, we show that this is indeed possible. We also show that if we start with interval-valued fuzzy sets, then we can similarly d...

Li and Yu (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 101 (1999) 109) argued that the model of Yang et al. for fuzzy programming (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 41 (1991) 39) is correct only for a speci2c type of piecewise linear membership function and proposed their model for other type of membership functions. This study generalizes the model of Yang et al. A numerical example indicates that the model of Li and Yu is i...
