A note on strong laws of large numbers for dependent random sets and fuzzy random sets.
The present paper is devoted to the transition from crisp domains of probability to fuzzy domains of probability. First, we start with a simple transportation problem and present its solution. The solution has a probabilistic interpretation and it illustrates the transition from classical random variables to fuzzy random variables in the sense of Gudder and Bugajski. Second, we analyse the process of fuzzification of classical crisp domains of probability within the category of -posets of fuzzy...
Probability on collections of fuzzy sets can be developed as a generalization of the classical probability on -algebras of sets. A Łukasiewicz tribe is a collection of fuzzy sets which is closed under the standard fuzzy complementation and under the pointwise application of the Łukasiewicz t-norm to countably many fuzzy sets. An observable is a fuzzy set-valued mapping defined on a -algebra of sets and satisfying some additional properties; formally, the role of an observable is in a sense analogous...
When proposing and processing uncertainty decision-making algorithms of various kinds and purposes, we more and more often meet probability distributions ascribing non-numerical uncertainty degrees to random events. The reason is that we have to process systems of uncertainties for which the classical conditions like -additivity or linear ordering of values are too restrictive to define sufficiently closely the nature of uncertainty we would like to specify and process. In cases of non-numerical...
In this paper we present the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the stochastic fuzzy differential equations driven by Brownian motion. The continuous dependence on initial condition and stability properties are also established. As an example of application we use some stochastic fuzzy differential equation in a model of population dynamics.
The notions of a -norm and of a fuzzy number are recalled. The law of large numbers for fuzzy numbers is defined. The fuzzy numbers, for which the law of large numbers holds, are investigated. The case when the law of large numbers is violated is studied.
The influence of “Grundbegriffe” by A. N. Kolmogorov (published in 1933) on education in the area of probability and its impact on research in stochastics cannot be overestimated. We would like to point out three aspects of the classical probability theory “calling for“ an upgrade: (i) classical random events are black-and-white (Boolean); (ii) classical random variables do not model quantum phenomena; (iii) basic maps (probability measures and observables – dual maps to random variables) have very...
The paper is concerned with generalized (i. e. monotone and possibly non-additive) measures. A discussion concerning the classification of these measures, according to the type and amount of non-additivity, is done. It is proved that -additive measures appear naturally as solutions of functional equations generated by the idea of (possible) non additivity.
