We introduce a fuzzy equality for -observables on an -quantum space which enables us to characterize different kinds of convergences, and to represent them by pointwise functions on an appropriate measurable space.
We consider finite Markov chains where there are uncertainties in some of the transition probabilities. These uncertainties are modeled by fuzzy numbers. Using a restricted fuzzy matrix multiplication we investigate the properties of regular, and absorbing, fuzzy Markov chains and show that the basic properties of these classical Markov chains generalize to fuzzy Markov chains.
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 to analyze these definitions and discuss...
We have modified the axiomatic system of orness measures, originally introduced by Kishor in 2014, keeping altogether four axioms. By proposing a fuzzy orness measure based on the inner product of lattice operations, we compare our orness measure with Yager's one which is based on the inner product of arithmetic operations. We prove that fuzzy orness measure satisfies the newly proposed four axioms and propose a method to determine OWA operator with given fuzzy orness degree.
By substituting the classical lattice operator min of the unit real interval with a triangular norm of Schweizer and Sklar, the usual fuzzy relational equations theory of Sanchez can be generalized to wider theory of fuzzy equations. Considering a remarkable class of triangular norms, for such type of equations defined on finite sets, we characterize the upper an lower solutions.We also characterize the solutions posessing a minimal fuzziness measure of Yager valued with respect to a triangular...
This paper follows a companion paper (Stochastica 8 (1984), 99-145) in which we gave the state of the art of the theory of fuzzy relation equations under a special class of triangular norms. Here we continue this theory establishing new results under lower and upper semicontinuous triangular norms and surveying on the main theoretical results appeared in foregoing papers. Max-t fuzzy equations with Boolean solutions are recalled and studied. Many examples clarify the results established.
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 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).
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 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.
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...
