A NOVEL FUZZY-BASED SIMILARITY MEASURE FOR COLLABORATIVE FILTERING TO ALLEVIATE THE SPARSITY PROBLEM

Masoud Saeed; Eghbal G Mansoori

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 1-18

Abstract
  Memory-based collaborative filtering is the most popular approach to build recommender systems. Despite its success in many applications, it still suffers from several major limitations, including data sparsity. Sparse data affect the quality of the user similarity measurement and consequently the quality ...  Read More

DISTINGUISHABILITY AND COMPLETENESS OF CRISP DETERMINISTIC FUZZY AUTOMATA

Renu .; S. P. Tiwari

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 19-30

Abstract
  In this paper, we introduce and study notions like state-\\linebreak distinguishability, input-distinguishability and output completeness of states of a crisp deterministic fuzzy automaton. We show that for each crisp deterministic fuzzy automaton there corresponds a unique (up to isomorphism), equivalent ...  Read More

BATHTUB HAZARD RATE DISTRIBUTIONS AND FUZZY LIFE TIMES

Muhammad Shafiq; Reinhard Viertl

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 31-41

Abstract
  The development of life time analysis started back in the $20^{\textit{th}}$ century and since then comprehensive developments have been made to model life time data efficiently. Recent development in measurements shows that all continuous measurements can not be measured as precise numbers but they ...  Read More

ADAPTIVE FUZZY OUTPUT FEEDBACK TRACKING CONTROL FOR A CLASS OF NONLINEAR TIME-VARYING DELAY SYSTEMS WITH UNKNOWN BACKLASH-LIKE HYSTERESIS

Mohsen Hasanpour Naseriyeh; Adeleh Arabzadeh Jafari; Seyed Mohammad Ali Mohammadi

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 43-64

Abstract
  This paper considers the problem of adaptive output feedback tracking control for a class of nonstrict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown time-varying delays and unknown backlash-like hysteresis. Fuzzy logic systems are used to estimate the unknown nonlinear functions. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii ...  Read More

K-FLAT PROJECTIVE FUZZY QUANTALES

Jing Lu; Kaiyun Wang; Bin Zhao

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 65-81

Abstract
  In this paper, we introduce the notion of {\bf K}-flat projective fuzzy quantales, and give an elementary characterization in terms of a fuzzy binary relation on the fuzzy quantale. Moreover, we  prove that {\bf K}-flat projective fuzzy quantales are precisely the coalgebras for a certain comonad ...  Read More

L-FUZZY CONVEXITY INDUCED BY L-CONVEX FUZZY SUBLATTICE DEGREE

Juan Li; Fu Gui Shi

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 83-102

Abstract
  In this paper, the notion of $L$-convex fuzzy sublattices is introduced and their characterizations are given. Furthermore,  the notion of the degree to which an $L$-subset is an $L$-convex fuzzy sublattice is proposed and its some  characterizations are given. Besides, the $L$-convex fuzzy ...  Read More

GENERAL FUZZY AUTOMATA BASED ON COMPLETE RESIDUATED LATTICE-VALUED

K. Abolpour; M. M. Zahedi

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 103-121

Abstract
  The present paper has been an attempt to investigate the general fuzzy automata on the basis of complete residuated lattice-valued ($L$-GFAs). The study has been chiefly inspired from the work by Mockor \cite{15, 16, 17}. Regarding this, the categorical issue of $L$-GFAs has been studied in more details. ...  Read More

SOME COUPLED FIXED POINT RESULTS ON MODIFIED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY METRIC SPACES AND APPLICATION TO INTEGRAL TYPE CONTRACTION

Vishal Gupta; Rajesh Kumar Saini; Ashima Kanwar

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 123-137

Abstract
  In this paper, we introduce fruitful concepts of common limit range and joint common limit range for coupled mappings on modified intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces. An illustrations are also given to justify the notion of common limit range and joint common limit range property for coupled maps. The ...  Read More

INTERVAL ANALYSIS-BASED HYPERBOX GRANULAR COMPUTING CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHMS

Hongbing Liu; Jin Li; Huaping Guo; Chunhua Liu

Volume 14, Issue 5 , September and October 2017, Pages 139-156

Abstract
  Representation of a granule, relation and operation between two granules are mainly researched in granular computing. Hyperbox granular computing classification algorithms (HBGrC) are proposed based on interval analysis. Firstly, a granule is represented as the hyperbox which is the Cartesian product ...  Read More
