The fuzzy structured element (FSE) theory is a very useful toolfor dealing with fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)problems by transforming the criterion value vectors of eachalternative into the corresponding criterion function vectors. Inthis paper, some concepts related to function vectors are firstdefined, such as the inner product of two function vectors, thecosine of the included ...

The first part of this paper gives the definition about complex fuzzy structured element on the basis of one-dimensional fuzzy structured element and some of its property. The following part introduces its limit and continuity. All of this has opened up a vision for the research of fuzzy structured element, and also played an important role in promoting its progress.

An information fusion based fuzzy segmentation method applied to Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is proposed in this paper. It can automatically extract the normal and abnormal tissues of human brain from multispectral images such as T1-weighted, T2-weighted and Proton Density (PD) feature images. Fuzzy models of normal tissues corresponding to three MRI sequences images are derived from histog...

This paper introduces TODIM-FSE, a multicriteria method for classifying alternatives based on Prospect Theory. TODIM-FSE therefore relies on the TODIM method combined with the Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation approach. TODIM-FSE makes use of the innovative “contribution” concept, not used previously for multicriteria classification purposes. This notion is central to the classification procedure of T...

Abstract To discuss the coal dust ignition hazard rating of different metamorphism, fuzzy structure element integrated decision model about “no danger”, “weak “general and “strong danger” is established. 40 kinds samples are selected to carry out quality analysis test, overpressure temperature flame propagation properties test particle size distribution test. Based on this, decision-making inde...

Tree-Structured Vector Quantization (TSVQ) is a highly efficient technique for locating an appropriate codeword for each input vector. The algorithm does not guarantee that the selected codeword is the closest one to the input vector. Consequently, the image quality of TSVQ is worse than that of full-search VQ (FSVQ). Although researchers have proposed multipath TSVQ and DP-TSVQ to enhance the ...

This study aims to assess the barriers impeding cloud computing (CC) applicability in sustainable construction. A total of 11 use CC were identified for literature review. questionnaire survey was used collect data from construction stakeholders. In total, 101 valid responses obtained and analyzed using mean ranking, normalized value (NV), overlapping analysis, Kruskal–Wallis H test, explorator...

This paper introduces a new concept in fuzzy set theory, that of a fuzzy element. It embodies the idea of fuzziness only, thus contributing to the distinction between fuzziness and ideas of imprecision. A fuzzy element is to a fuzzy set what an element is to a set. A fuzzy element is as precise as an element, just more gradual that the latter. Applications of this notion to fuzzy cardinality, f...
