Bi-capacities have been recently introduced as a natural generalization of capacities (or fuzzy measures) when the underlying scale is bipolar. They allow to build more flexible models in decision making, although their complexity is of order $3^n$, instead of $2^n$ for fuzzy measures. In order to reduce the complexity, the paper proposes the notion of $p$-symmetric bi- capacities, in the same spirit as for $p$-symmetric fuzzy measures. The main idea is to partition the set of criteria (or states of nature,...

Diverse classes of fuzzy relations such as reflexive, irreflexive, symmetric, asymmetric, antisymmetric, connected, and transitive fuzzy relations are studied. Moreover, intersections of basic relation classes such as tolerances, tournaments, equivalences, and orders are regarded and the problem of preservation of these properties by $n$-ary operations is considered. Namely, with the use of fuzzy relations $R_1,...,R_n$ and $n$-argument operation $F$ on the interval $[0,1]$, a new fuzzy relation $R_F=F(R_1,...,R_n)$ is created. Characterization...

Bajo un planteamiento difuso del Problema General de Decisión Unipersonal, se propone un método que permite definir una función de utilidad para este problema. Dicha función se muestra como una familia de funciones de utilidad, la cual se considera como la "utilidad difusa" que sirve para resolver el problema que se plantea en los distintos contextos.

Fuzzy logic is one of the tools for management of uncertainty; it works with more than two values, usually with a continuous scale, the real interval $[0,1]$. Implementation restrictions in applications force us to use in fact a finite scale (finite chain) of truth degrees. In this paper, we study logical operations on finite chains, in particular conjunctions. We describe a computer program generating all finitely-valued fuzzy conjunctions ($t$-norms). It allows also to select these $t$-norms according to...

Properties of $sup$-$*$ compositions of fuzzy relations were first examined in Goguen [8] and next discussed by many authors. Power sequence of fuzzy relations was mainly considered in the case of matrices of fuzzy relation on a finite set. We consider $sup$-$*$ powers of fuzzy relations under diverse assumptions about $*$ operation. At first, we remind fundamental properties of $sup$-$*$ composition. Then, we introduce some manipulations on relation powers. Next, the closure and interior of fuzzy relations are examined....

A quantum logic is one of possible mathematical models for non-compatible random events. In this work we solve a problem proposed at the conference FSTA 2006. Namely, it is proved that s-maps are symmetric fuzzy relations on a set of all symmetric and idempotent binary matrices. Consequently s-maps are not antisymmetric fuzzy relations. This paper also explores other properties of s-maps, j-maps and d-maps. Specifically, it is proved that s-maps are neither reflexive, nor irreflexive, and nor transitive,...

In this paper we define for fuzzy topological spaces a notion corresponding to proto-metrizable topological spaces. We obtain some properties of these fuzzy topological spaces, particularly we give relations with non-archimedean, and metrizable fuzzy topological spaces.
