does not satisfy (EP), because for x = 0.3, y = 0.5 and z = 0.5 we get I (x, I (y, z)) = 0.7 = 0.5 = I (y, I (x, z)). The corrected last two rows are provided in Table 1 here. In both of these cases the natural negation NI is the classical negation NC(x) = 1 − x. One can easily check that the first function satisfies (I1) and it does not satisfy (EP), because for x = 0.3, y = 1 and z = 0, we ge...

In this work we solve an open problem of U.Höhle [Problem 11, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 145 (2004) 471-479]. We show that the solution gives a characterization of all conditionally cancellative t-subnorms. Further, we give an equivalence condition for a conditionally cancellativite t-subnorm to be a t-norm and hence show that conditionally cancellativite t-subnorms whose natural negations are stro...

The theory of neighborhood systems is abstracted from the geometric notion of "near" or "negligible distances." It is a "new" theory of the classical concept of neighborhood systems within the context of advanced computing. By definition neighborhood systems include both rough sets and topological spaces as special cases. The deeper and more interesting part is in its interactions with fuzzy se...

Fuzzy Logic, introduced by Zadeh along with his introduction of fuzzy sets, is a continuous multi-valued logic system. Hence, it is a generalization of the classical logic and the classical discrete multi-valued logic (e.g. Łukasiewicz’ three/many-valued logic). Throughout the years Zadeh and other researches have introduced extensions to the theory of fuzzy setts and fuzzy logic. Notable exten...

An interpretation of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is proposed based on random set theory and prototype theory. The extension of fuzzy labels are modelled by lower and upper random set neighbourhoods, identifying those element of the universe within an uncertain distance threshold of a set of prototypical elements. These neighbourhoods are then generalised to compound fuzzy descriptions generated a...

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the current state of fuzzy logic theory in epidemiology, which is a recent area of research. We present four applications of fuzzy logic theory in epidemic problems, using linguistic fuzzy models, possibility measure, probability of fuzzy events and fuzzy decision making techniques. The results demonstrate that the applications of fuzzy sets i...
