recently, abbasbandy and asady have been proposed a modificationof the distance based approach, namely ``sign distance method''.however, in this paper, it is shown that this method has some drawbacks, i.e.,the result is not consistent with human intuition for specialcases and this method cannot always logically infer rankingorder of the images of the fuzzy numbers. in this paper, wepresent a re...

A possible interpretation, in terms offuzzy classification models (fuzzy classifiers), of one pf the general principles of choosing a scientific theory a consistency principle is considered. Supervised self-guessing fuzzy classifiers are determined. A theorem on character of restrictions induced on a set of supervised fuzzy classifiers by a self-guessing requirement is proved. FeaSible alternat...

For many years, the only way to attain an education in software engineering has been through the school of hard knocks. A common lament among experienced software developers is that colleges don’t teach students the skills they need to perform effectively on the job. What is needed to give software developers a better start? Formal professional education has traditionally been divided into thre...

The fuzzy approach has undergone a profound structural transformation in the past few decades. Numerous studies have been undertaken to explain fuzzy approach for linear and nonlinear programs. While, the findings in earlier studies have been conflicting, recent studies of competitive situations indicate that fractional programming problem has a positive impact on comparative scenario. We propo...

Equivalence relations and orderings are key concepts of mathematics. For both types of relations, formulations within the framework of fuzzy relations have been proposed already in the early days of fuzzy set theory. While similarity (indistinguishability) relations have turned out to be very useful tools, e.g. for the interpretation of fuzzy partitions and fuzzy controllers, the utilization of...

We use the Myers T-dual nonabelin Born-Infeld action to find some new nontrivial solutions for the branes in the background of D6-branes and Melvin magnetic tube field. In the D6Branes background we can find both of the fuzzy sphere and fuzzy ring solutions, which are formed by the gravitational dielectric effect. We see that the fuzzy ring solution has less energy then that of the fuzzy sphere...

in a recent paper, de baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. in this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. the reasoninglargely ...

this paper presents a novel indirect adaptive power system stabilizer (pss) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. the synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

In this paper, an extended ranking method for fuzzy numbers, which is a synthesis of fuzzy targets and the Dempster–Shafer Theory (DST) of evidence, is devised. The use of fuzzy targets to reflect human viewpoints in fuzzy ranking is not new. However, different fuzzy targets can lead to contradictory fuzzy ranking results; making it difficult to reach a final decision. In this paper, the result...
