In this paper1, we introduce a fuzzy automaton for computing the similarity between pairs of strings and a genetic method for adjusting its parameters. The fuzzy automaton models the edit operations needed to transform any string into another one. The selection of appropriate fuzzy operations and fuzzy membership values for the transitions leads to improve the system performance for a particula...

The present paper deals with formal concept analysis of data with fuzzy attributes. We clarify several points of a new approach of [S.Q. Fan, W.X. Zhang, Variable threshold concept lattice, Inf. Sci., accepted for publication] which is based on using thresholds in concept-forming operators. We show that the extentand intent-forming operators from [S.Q. Fan, W.X. Zhang, Inf. Sci., accepted for p...

This study focuses on the development of triangular fuzzy numbers, the revising of triangular fuzzy numbers, and the constructing of a HCFN (half-circle fuzzy number) model which can be utilized to perform more plural operations. They are further transformed for trigonometric functions and polar coordinates. From half-circle fuzzy numbers we can conceive cylindrical fuzzy numbers, which work be...
