Fuzzy versus probabilistic benefit/cost ratio analysis for public work projects

Cengiz Kahraman (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The benefit/cost (B/C) ratio method is utilized in many government and public work projects to determine if the expected benefits provide an acceptable return on the estimated investment and costs. Many authors have studied probabilis- tic cash flows in recent years. They introduced some analytical methods which determine the probability distribution function of the net present value and in- ternal rate of return of a series of random discrete cash flows. They considered serially correlated...

The internal rate of return of fuzzy cash flows.

Loredana Biacino, M. Rosaria Simonelli (1992)

Stochastica

Similarity:

An internal rate of return (IRR) of an investment or financing project with cash flow (a0,a1,a2,...,an) is usually defined as a rate of interest r such that a0 + a1(1 + r)-1 + ... + an(1 + r)-n = 0. If the cash flow has one sign change then the previous equation has a unique solution...

A Method to Construct an Extension of Fuzzy Information Granularity Based on Fuzzy Distance

Thien, Nguyen Van, Demetrovics, Janos, Thi, Vu Duc, Giang, Nguyen Long, Son, Nguyen Nhu (2016)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

In fuzzy granular computing, a fuzzy granular structure is the collection of fuzzy information granules and fuzzy information granularity is used to measure the granulation degree of a fuzzy granular structure. In general, the fuzzy information granularity characterizes discernibility ability among fuzzy information granules in a fuzzy granular structure. In recent years, researchers have proposed some concepts of fuzzy information granularity based on partial order relations. However,...

The Formal Construction of Fuzzy Numbers

Adam Grabowski (2014)

Formalized Mathematics

Similarity:

In this article, we continue the development of the theory of fuzzy sets [23], started with [14] with the future aim to provide the formalization of fuzzy numbers [8] in terms reflecting the current state of the Mizar Mathematical Library. Note that in order to have more usable approach in [14], we revised that article as well; some of the ideas were described in [12]. As we can actually understand fuzzy sets just as their membership functions (via the equality of membership function...

An additive decomposition of fuzzy numbers

Dug Hun Hong (2003)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Hong and Do[4] improved Mareš[7] result about additive decomposition of fuzzy quantities concerning an equivalence relation. But there still exists an open question which is the limitation to fuzzy quantities on R (the set of real numbers) with bounded supports in the presented theory. In this paper we restrict ourselves to fuzzy numbers, which are fuzzy quantities of the real line R with convex, normalized and upper semicontinuous membership function and prove this open question. ...

Fuzzy numbers, definitions and properties.

Miguel Delgado, José Luis Verdegay, M. Amparo Vila (1994)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Two different definitions of a Fuzzy number may be found in the literature. Both fulfill Goguen's Fuzzification Principle but are different in nature because of their different starting points. The first one was introduced by Zadeh and has well suited arithmetic and algebraic properties. The second one, introduced by Gantner, Steinlage and Warren, is a good and formal representation of the concept from a topological point of view. The objective of this paper is...

Similarity in fuzzy reasoning.

Frank Klawonn, Juan Luis Castro (1995)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Fuzzy set theory is based on a `fuzzification' of the predicate in (element of), the concept of membership degrees is considered as fundamental. In this paper we elucidate the connection between indistinguishability modelled by fuzzy equivalence relations and fuzzy sets. We show that the indistinguishability inherent to fuzzy sets can be computed and that this indistinguishability cannot be overcome in approximate reasoning. For our investigations we generalize from the unit interval...
