    Fuzzy Relations

    As known to us, a relation is a subset of the Cartesian product of two sets. A relation is naturally fuzzified while a subset is fuzzified. In fact, whether two objects have a relation is not always easy to de...

    A Brief Introduction to Some Pure Mathematical Topics

    As known to us, the theory of classical sets is the foundation on which modern mathematics rests. When sets are fuzzified, some traditional pure mathematical branches are accordingly generalized. In this chapt...

    Extension Principle and Fuzzy Numbers

    In the traditional multi-attribute decision analysis, there is a well-defined problem-solving model–the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. This model can be formulated as follows. Let A1, A2, ..., A ...

    Information Diffusion Principle and Application in Fuzzy Neuron

    In this paper, we demonstrate that the fuzziness of fuzzy information can come not only from the measuring scale, but also from the incompleteness of sample knowledge. Fundamentally, by develo** the method o...
