it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

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 ...

In this paper, we first use a fuzzy preference relation with a membership function representing preference degree forcomparing two interval-valued fuzzy numbers and then utilize a relative preference relation improved from the fuzzypreference relation to rank a set of interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Since the fuzzy preference relation is a total orderingrelation that satisfies reciprocal and tra...

fuzzy order congruences play an important role in studying the categoricalproperties of fuzzy posets. in this paper, the correspondence between the fuzzyorder congruences and the fuzzy order-preserving maps is discussed. we focus onthe characterization of fuzzy order congruences on the fuzzy poset in terms ofthe fuzzy preorders containing the fuzzy partial order. at last, fuzzy completecongruen...

in this paper, we define the concepts of a complex fuzzy subset and a complex fuzzy finite state automaton. then we extend the notion of a complex fuzzy finite state automaton and introduce the notion of a general complex fuzzy automaton. after that we define the concept of a max- min general complex fuzzy automaton and construct some equivalence relations and some congruence relations in a max...

in this paper we introduce the notions of fuzzy transposition hypergroupsand fuzzy regular relations and investigate their basic properties.we also study fuzzy quotient hypergroups of a fuzzy transposition hypergroup.

in this paper, we study the finitely many constraints of fuzzy relation inequalities problem and optimize the linear objective function on this region which is defined with fuzzy max-lukasiewicz operator. in fact lukasiewicz t-norm is one of the four basic t-norms. a new simplification technique is given to accelerate the resolution of the problem by removing the components having no effect on ...

the starting point of this paper is given by priestley’s papers, where a theory of representation of distributive lattices is presented. the purpose of this paper is to develop a representation theory of fuzzy distributive lattices in the finite case. in this way, some results of priestley’s papers are extended. in the main theorem, we show that the category of finite fuzzy priestley space...

in this paper, we study the finitely many constraints of the fuzzyrelation inequality problem and optimize the linear objectivefunction on the region defined by the fuzzy max-product operator.simplification operations have been given to accelerate theresolution of the problem by removing the components having noeffect on the solution process. also, an algorithm and somenumerical and applied exa...
