The fuzzy extension principle has been widely used to extend the domain of mathematical functions and relations from elements of a referential set to fuzzy subsets of that referential set. However, there are restrictions associated with the fuzzy extension principle. This paper addresses the question how restricted is the family of “fuzzy set to fuzzy set mappings” obtained by the fuzzy extensi...

Bipolar fuzzy set theory has been successfully applied in some areas, but there are situations real life which can’t be represented by bipolar sets. However, all the existing approaches unsuitable to describe positive and negative membership degree an element uncertain linguistic label have interval value, can reflect decision maker’s confidence level when they making evaluation. In order overc...

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 ...

In this paper, the notion of the interval valued neutrosophic soft sets (ivn−soft sets) is defined which is a combination of an interval valued neutrosophic sets [36] and a soft sets [30]. Our ivn−soft sets generalizes the concept of the soft set, fuzzy soft set, interval valued fuzzy soft set, intuitionistic fuzzy soft set, interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set and neutrosophic soft se...

For fuzzy mathematical models using general fuzzy sets rather than fuzzy numbers or fuzzy vectors, operations (addition and scalar multiplication) and orderings of fuzzy sets are needed, and the concept of fuzzy set-valued convex mappings is important. In the present paper, fundamental properties of operations, orderings, and fuzzy set-valued convex mappings for general fuzzy sets are investiga...

We propose in this paper new tools for dealing with bipolar fuzzy spatial information: particular geometrical objects are defined, as well as measures such as cardinality and perimeter, represented as bipolar fuzzy numbers. A definition of distance from a point to a bipolar fuzzy set is introduced as well. These definitions are based on mathematical morphology operators, recently proposed in th...
