• ### On Atanassov's Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets in the Complex Plane and the Field of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):253 - 259

In this paper, we propose a method to construct homeomorphisms from the interior of intuitionistic fuzzy interpretation triangle to the complex plane. Based on such homeomorphisms, we define concepts of pure intuitionistic fuzzy sets and pure intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and obtain some properties of these new concepts. In addition, we prove that all the pure intuitionistic fuzzy numbers form a f... View full abstract»

• ### Preaggregation Functions: Construction and an Application

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):260 - 272

| | PDF (488 KB) | HTML

In this paper, we introduce the notion of preaggregation function. Such a function satisfies the same boundary conditions as an aggregation function, but, instead of requiring monotonicity, only monotonicity along some fixed direction (directional monotonicity) is required. We present some examples of such functions. We propose three different methods to build preaggregation functions. We experime... View full abstract»

This paper proposes a modification to the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to select the most informative genes that serve as inputs to an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) for cancer classification. Unlike the conventional AHP, the modified AHP allows us to process quantitative factors that are ranking outcomes of individual gene selection methods including t-test, entropy, receiver ope...

| | PDF (1258 KB) | HTML

With the increasing popularity of XML for data representations, there is a lot of interest in searching XML data. Due to the structural heterogeneity and textual content's diversity of XML, it is daunting for users to formulate exact queries and search accurate answers. Therefore, approximate matching is introduced to deal with the difficulty in answering users' queries, and this matching could be... View full abstract»

Regression analysis is a powerful statistical tool that has many applications in different areas. The problem of regression analysis under a fuzzy environment has been treated in the literature from different points of view and considering a variety of input/output data (crisp or fuzzy). However, we realize that, in general, most research papers have a conflict between the solution of the fuzzy re... View full abstract»

The comparison of Atanassov intuitionistic fuzzy sets (AIF-sets) is a topic that has been widely studied due to its several applications in image segmentation or decision making, among other fields. Divergences for AIF-sets (AIF-divergences) were introduced as an adequate measure of comparison for AIF-sets. This study investigates a family of AIF-divergences that satisfies a local property. Such a... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):374 - 387
| | PDF (2192 KB) | HTML

Deception plays a leading role in many intelligent systems. In order to model the uncertainties and make artificial deception near the one existing in the real world, fuzzy theory seems a reasonable tool. This study is the pioneering one to incorporate fuzzy logic concepts into the phenomenon of deceptive robotics. In this study, a hide-and-seek process is considered in a maze imaginable in any fo...

This paper presents a novel non-Gaussian stochastic control framework for the problem of disturbance estimation and rejection by combining fuzzy identification technology with disturbance observer design. First, fuzzy logic models are used to approximate the output probability density functions (PDFs) of non-Gaussian processes such that the task of PDF shape control can be reduced to a fuzzy weigh...

In order to reconstruct large-scale gene regulatory networks (GRNs) with high accuracy, a robust evolutionary algorithm, a dynamic multiagent genetic algorithm (dMAGA), is proposed to reconstruct GRNs from time-series expression profiles based on fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) in this paper. The algorithm is labeled as dMAGAFCM-GRN. In dMAGAFCM-GRN, agents and their behaviors are designed ... View full abstract»

• ### Cooperative Games and Coalition Cohesion Indices: The Choquet–Owen Value

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):444 - 455
| | PDF (399 KB) | HTML

In a cooperative game with transferable utility, it is usually assumed that all coalitions are equally feasible. However, if we deal with cooperative games with coalition configuration, only some coalitions are a priori feasible, due to the preferences of the agents. In this paper, we propose a generalization of games with coalition configuration. In our model, the feasibility of a coalition is de... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2016, Page(s):456 - 470
Cited by:  Papers (13)
| | PDF (739 KB) | HTML

Many real-world problems can be represented as complex networks with nodes representing different objects and links between nodes representing relationships between objects. As different attributes can be considered as associating with different objects, other than nontrivial link structures, complex networks also contain rich content information, and it can be a big challenge to find interesting ...

In this paper, a cooperative fuzzy model-predictive control (CFMPC) is presented. The overall nonlinear plant is assumed to consist of several parallel input-coupled Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models. Each such T-S fuzzy subsystem is represented in the form of a local linear model network (LLMN). The control of each local linear model in each LLMN is realized by model-predictive control (MPC).

This study is concerned with a design of membership functions of fuzzy sets. The membership functions are formed in such a way that they are experimentally justifiable and exhibit a sound semantics. These two requirements are articulated through the principle of justifiable granularity. The parametric version of the principle is discussed in detail. We show linkages with type-2 fuzzy sets, which a... View full abstract»

Markov chains are very efficient models and have been extensively applied in a wide range of fields covering queuing theory, signal processing, performance evaluation, time series, and finance. For discrete finite first-order Markov chains, which are among the most used models of this family, the transition matrix can be seen as the model parameter, since it encompasses the set of probabilities go...
