The core of expert knowledge is typically represented by a set of rules (implications) assigned with weights specifying their (un)certainties. The task of inference mechanism in such rulebased expert systems can be analyzed from the many-valued (fuzzy) logic perspective. On the other hand, implicational relations between two Boolean attributes derived from data (association rules) are quantifie...

interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (ivifss) are widely used to handle uncertainty and imprecision in decision making. however, in more complicated environment, it is difficult to express the uncertain information by an ivifs with considering the decision-making preference. hence, this paper proposes a group generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (g-givifss) which conta...

Single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set has three independent parts, namely the truth membership hesitancy function, indeterminacy membership hesitancy function, and falsity membership hesitancy function, which are in the form of sets that assume values in the unit interval [0, 1]. Single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set is considered as a powerful tool to express uncertain, incompl...

* Correspondence author. Abstract The fuzzy multi-attribute decision making problems are investigated, in which the attribute values are given as intervalvalued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weight information is incomplete. Some operational laws of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, score function and accuracy function of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers...

The unavoidable imprecision of measurements of continuous physical quantities can be modelled by using the concept of fuzzy numbers and fuzzy vectors. Concerning a quantitative usage of such data the classical concept of relative frequencies for real data has to be extended to so-called fuzzy relative frequencies for fuzzy data, whereby the fuzzy relative frequency of a set is a fuzzy number. A...

In this paper, we de ne generalized concepts of cardinality of a fuzzy-valued function and obtained some properties of these new concepts. Also, we investigate examples for the calculation of two generalized cardinality of fuzzy-valued functions and compared with concepts of cardinality of a fuzzy set and a fuzzy-valued function. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Stock valuation is very important for fundamental investors to select undervalue stocks to earn excess profit. However, it may be difficult to use stock valuation results because different models generate different estimates on the same stock. This suggests that the value of a stock should be multi-valued rather than single-valued. We therefore develop a multi-valued stock valuation model based...

a new approach to define the similarity measure betweeninterval-valued fuzzy sets is presented. the proposed approach isbased on a weighted measure in which the normalized similaritiesbetween lower functions and also between upper functions arecombined by a weight parameter. the properties of this similaritymeasure are investigated. it is shown that, the proposed measurehas some advantages in c...

in this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. in other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. first, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (tfn). this paper com...

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...
