Images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy relations have been investigated mainly in two contexts: On the one hand, mostly under the term “full image” [5], they can be regarded as very general tools for fuzzy inference, leading to the so-called “compositional rule of inference” [1, 5]. On the other hand, under the term “extensional hull”, the image of a fuzzy set under a fuzzy equivalence relation yield...

Fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. In this paper, a modified method based on the Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO) is proposed for pixel classification in HSI color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...

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.

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.

If X is a vector space and E is a subset of X, the convex hull of E is defined to be the intersection of all convex sets containing E, and is denoted by co(E). One checks that the convex hull of E is equal to the set of all finite convex combinations of elements of E. If X is a topological vector space, the closed convex hull of E is the intersection of all closed convex sets containing E, and ...

The sequence space m(φ,∆m, p) of fuzzy real numbers for 0 < p < 1 and 1 ≤ p < ∞, are introduced. Some properties of the sequence space like solidness, symmetricity, convergence-free etc. are studied.

Let A be a unital Banach function algebra with character space Φ A. For x ∈ Φ A , let M x and J x be the ideals of functions vanishing at x, and in a neighbourhood of x, respectively. It is shown that the hull of J x is connected, and that if x does not belong to the Shilov boundary of A then the set {y ∈ Φ A : M x ⊇ J y } has an infinite, connected subset. Various related results are given.

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.
