Fuzzy set theory for cumulative trauma prediction.

Daniel J. Fonseca, Thomas W. Merritt, Gary P. Moynihan (2001)

Mathware and Soft Computing

A widely used fuzzy reasoning algorithm was modified and implemented via an expert system to assess the potential risk of employee repetitive strain injury in the workplace. This fuzzy relational model, known as the Priority First Cover Algorithm (PFC), was adapted to describe the relationship between 12 cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) of the upper extremity, and 29 identified risk factors. The algorithm, which finds a suboptimal subset from a group of variables based on the criterion of priority,...

Fuzzy sets as set classes.

Ton Sales (1982)

Stochastica

Fuzzy sets have been studied in various forms. We now offer a presentation of fuzzy sets whereby they are conceived as representatives of a whole class of sets (that are themselves subsets of the universe of objects on which the fuzzy set is defined).

Fuzzy sets in computer vision: an overview.

Pilar Sobrevilla, Eduard Montseny (2003)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Every computer vision level crawl with uncertainty, what makes its management a significant problem to be considered and solved when trying for automated systems for scene analysis and interpretation. This is why fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic is making many inroads into the handling of uncertainty in various aspects of image processing and computer vision.The growth within the use of fuzzy set theory in computer vision is keeping pace with the use of more complex algorithms addressed to solve...

Fuzzy sets in pattern recognition, image analysis and automatic speech recognition

Dwijesh Dutta Majumder (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

Fuzzy set theory, a recent generalization of classical set theory, has attracted the attention of researchers working in various areas including pattern recognition, which has had a seminal influence in the development of this new theory. This paper attempts to discuss some of the methodologies that have been suggested for pattern recognition, and techniques for image processing and speech recognition.

Fuzzy sets (in)equations with a complete codomain lattice

Vanja Stepanović, Andreja Tepavčević (2022)

Kybernetika

The paper applies some properties of the monotonous operators on the complete lattices to problems of the existence and the construction of the solutions to some fuzzy relational equations, inequations, and their systems, taking a complete lattice for the codomain lattice. The existing solutions are extremal - the least or the greatest, thus we prove some extremal problems related to fuzzy sets (in)equations. Also, some properties of upper-continuous lattices are proved and applied to systems of...

Fuzzy termination criteria in Knapsack Problem algorithms.

José Luis Verdegay, Edmundo Vergara-Moreno (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Fuzzy rule based termination criteria are introduced in two conventional and exact algorithms solving Knapsack Problems. As a consequence two new solution algorithms are obtained. These algorithms are heuristic ones with a high performance. The efficiency of the algorithms obtained is illustrated by solving some numerical examples.

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

Cengiz Kahraman (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

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 cash...

Fuzzy weighted average as a fuzzified aggregation operator and its properties

Ondřej Pavlačka, Martina Pavlačková, Vladislav Hetfleiš (2017)

Kybernetika

The weighted average is a well-known aggregation operator that is widely applied in various mathematical models. It possesses some important properties defined for aggregation operators, like monotonicity, continuity, idempotency, etc., that play an important role in practical applications. In the paper, we reveal whether and in which way such properties can be observed also for the fuzzy weighted average operator where the weights as well as the weighted values are expressed by noninteractive fuzzy...

Fuzzy-valued integrals based on a constructive methodology

Hsien-Chung Wu (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

The procedures for constructing a fuzzy number and a fuzzy-valued function from a family of closed intervals and two families of real-valued functions, respectively, are proposed in this paper. The constructive methodology follows from the form of the well-known “Resolution Identity” (decomposition theorem) in fuzzy sets theory. The fuzzy-valued measure is also proposed by introducing the notion of convergence for a sequence of fuzzy numbers. Under this setting, we develop the fuzzy-valued integral...

Elango Roja, Mallasamudram Kuppusamy Uma, Ganesan Balasubramanian (2007)

Kybernetika

G δ -separation axioms are introduced in ordered fuzzy topological spaces and some of their basic properties are investigated besides establishing an analogue of Urysohn’s lemma.

Generalized convexities related to aggregation operators of fuzzy sets

Susana Díaz, Esteban Induráin, Vladimír Janiš, Juan Vicente Llinares, Susana Montes (2017)

Kybernetika

We analyze the existence of fuzzy sets of a universe that are convex with respect to certain particular classes of fusion operators that merge two fuzzy sets. In addition, we study aggregation operators that preserve various classes of generalized convexity on fuzzy sets. We focus our study on fuzzy subsets of the real line, so that given a mapping F : [ 0 , 1 ] × [ 0 , 1 ] [ 0 , 1 ] , a fuzzy subset, say X , of the real line is said to be F -convex if for any x , y , z such that x y z , it holds that μ X ( y ) F ( μ X ( x ) , μ X ( z ) ) , where μ X : [ 0 , 1 ] stands here for the membership function...

Generalized version of the compatibility theorem. Two examples.

Carlo Bertoluzza, Antonella Bodini (1996)

Mathware and Soft Computing

In a previous work ([3]) we proved that the Nguyen's condition for [f(tilde-A)]α to be equal to f(Aα) also holds for the most general class of the L-fuzzy subsets, where L is an arbitrary lattice. Here we recall the main points of the proof ad present some examples ralated to non-linear lattices.

Generating methods for principal topologies on bounded lattices

Funda Karaçal, Ümit Ertuğrul, M. Nesibe Kesicioğlu (2021)

Kybernetika

In this paper, some generating methods for principal topology are introduced by means of some logical operators such as uninorms and triangular norms and their properties are investigated. Defining a pre-order obtained from the closure operator, the properties of the pre-order are studied.
