During the past 40 years of fuzzy research at the Fuzziness and Uncertainty Modeling research unit of Ghent University several axiomatic systems and characterizations have been introduced. In this paper we highlight some of them. The main purpose of this paper consists of an invitation to continue research on these first attempts to axiomatize important concepts and systems in fuzzy set theory....

The concept of fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh in his classical paper [1]. This concept provides a natural foundation for treating mathematically the fuzzy phenomena, which exist pervasively in our real world, and for building new branches of fuzzy mathematics. In the area of Fuzzy Topology, introduced by Chang [2], much attention has been paid to generalize the basic concepts of General Topo...

Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is a novel measure of poverty that is being used by United Nations Development Programme. The MPI is the answer to the call for a multidimensional view of poverty (Sen and Anand, 1997). It evaluates poverty at the individual level, with poor people being those who are deprived in multiple dimensions of well-being, and also the extent of poverty by assessing ...

we introduce some new concepts of topological spaces which say α − separable topologicalspace and o-topological group, α − first axiom, α − second axiom, and we find some relations betweenthem with some applications in normed spaces.

The notion of lacunary ideal convergence in intuitionistic fuzzy normed linear space (IFNLS) was introduced by the present corresponding author [P. Debnath, Lacunary ideal convergence in intuitionistic fuzzy normed linear spaces, Comput. Math. Appl., 63 (2012), 708-715] and an open problem in that paper was whether every lacunary I-convergent sequence is lacunary I-Cauchy. Further, a new concep...

In this article we prove that Axiom A is a necessary condition for structural stability of C1 nonsingular endomorphisms of the circle.

We construct a variety of inner models exhibiting features usually obtained by forcing over universes with large cardinals. For example, if there is a supercompact cardinal, then there is an inner model with a Laver indestructible supercompact cardinal. If there is a supercompact cardinal, then there is an inner model with a supercompact cardinal κ for which 2κ = κ+, another for which 2κ = κ++ ...
