Welcome to the Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems’s special issue for “FUZZYSS’2009: 1st International Fuzzy Systems Symposium”. Since its introduction by Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh fuzzy logic has found numerous applications in many diverse areas. Scientific research related to fuzzy logic and its extensions is still an open and promising active research area. There is still a very long way to...

let $s$ be an ordered semigroup. a fuzzy subset of $s$ is anarbitrary mapping   from $s$ into $[0,1]$, where $[0,1]$ is theusual interval of real numbers. in this paper,  the concept of fuzzygeneralized bi-ideals of an ordered semigroup $s$ is introduced.regular ordered semigroups are characterized by means of fuzzy leftideals, fuzzy right ideals and fuzzy (generalized) bi-ideals.finally, two m...

A new method for solving intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute decision making problem is proposed, in which the information of attribute weights is incompletely known. Considering much information about hesitancy and vagueness inherited to intuitionistic fuzzy sets, a new class of distance for describing the deviation degrees between intuitionistic fuzzy sets is introduced. Furthermore, the mea...

We introduce a new class of fuzzy open sets called fuzzy $bigwedge_e$ sets which includes the class of fuzzy $e$-open sets. We also define a weaker form of fuzzy $bigwedge_e$ sets termed as fuzzy locally $bigwedge_e$ sets. By means of these new sets, we present the notions of fuzzy $bigwedge_e$ continuity and fuzzy locally $bigwedge_e$ continuity which are weaker than fuzzy $e$-continuity and f...

Right ternary near-rings (RTNR) are generalization of their binary counterpart and fuzzy soft sets are generalization of soft sets which are parameterized family of subsets of a universal set. In this paper fuzzy soft Nsubgroups, quasi-ideals and bi-ideals over a right ternary near-ring N are defined. The substructures N-subgroups, quasi-ideals and bi-ideals of an RTNR are characterized in term...

Fuzzy relations are able to model vagueness, in the sense that they provide the degree to which two objects are related to each other. However, they cannot model uncertainty: there is no means to attribute reliability information to the membership degrees. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, as de1ned by Atanassov (Instuitionistic Fuzzy Sets, Physica-Verlag, Heidelberg, New York, 1999), give us a way to...

The concept of trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy set is introduced. Notion for distance between any two trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy elements is given. Using this proposed distance measure, we extend the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution for trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy sets. An example is constructed to show usefulness of this extension for multicriteria ...

Using the notion of bipolar-valued fuzzy sets, the concepts of bipolar fuzzy (weak, s-weak, strong) hyper BCK-ideals are introduced, and their relations are discussed in [3]. Further properties are investigated in this article. We show that if Φ = (H ;μΦ , μ N Φ ) is a bipolar fuzzy (weak, strong) hyper BCK-ideal of a hyper BCK-algebra H, then the set I := {x ∈ H | μΦ(x) = μΦ(0), μΦ (x) = μΦ (0...
