Indeed, the structure of fuzzy (quasi) superhypergraphs collects groups of labeled objects and analyzesthem in the form of the part to part of objects, the part of objects to the whole group of objects, and the whole tothe whole group of objects at the same time.We have investigated the properties of fuzzy (quasi) superhypergraphsbased on any positive real number as valued fuzzy (quasi) superhypergraphs, considering the complement of valuedfuzzy (quasi) superhypergraphs, the notation of isomorphism of valued fuzzy (quasi) superhypergraphs based onthe permutations, and we have presented the isomorphic conditions of (self complemented) valued fuzzy (quasi)superhypergraphs. The concept of impact membership value of fuzzy (quasi) superhypergraphs is introducedin this study and it is applied in designing the real problem in the real world. Finally, the problem of businesssuperhypernetworks is presented as an application of fuzzy valued quasi superhypergraphs in the real world.展开更多

The parameters in the proposed similarity measures can control the degree of membership and the degree of non-membership of an IFV, which can reflect the decision maker’s risk preference. Moreover, we can obtain some known similarity measures when some fixed values are assigned to the parameters. Furthermore, we apply the similarity measures to aggregate IFVs and develop some aggregation operators, such as the intuitionistic fuzzy dependent averaging operator and the intuitionistic fuzzy dependent geometric operator, whose prominent characteristic is that the associated weights only depend on the aggregated intuitionistic fuzzy arguments and can relieve the influence of unfair arguments on the aggregated results. Based on these aggregation operators, we develop some group decision making methods, and finally extend our results to interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment.展开更多

Axioms of the classical Shapley value are extended to Shapley values with fuzzy payoffs by using fuzzy sets theory. Fuzzy Shapley function is defined based on these extended axioms. From the viewpoint the allocation for each partner should be a crisp value rather a fuzzy membership function at the end of cooperation, a crisp allocation scheme based on fuzzy Shapley values is proposed.展开更多

Universal approximations to some continuous fuzzy functions defined on F 0 (R) n by the four layer fuzzy neural networks are shown. At first,multivariate Bernstein polynomials associated with fuzzy valued functions are empolyed to approximate continuous fuzzy valued functions defined on each compact set of R n . Secondly,by introducing cut preserving fuzzy mapping,the equivalent conditions for continuous fuzzy functions that can be arbitrarily closely approximated by regular fuzzy neural networks are shown. Finally a few of sufficient and necessary conditions for characterizing approximation capabilities of regular fuzzy neural networks are obtained.

This is achieved by incorporating covariance matrices at the level of individual classes rather than assuming a global one. Empirical results from a fuzzy classification of an Edinburgh suburban land cover confirmed the improved performance of the new algorithm for fuzzy c-means clustering, in particular when fuzziness is also accommodated in the assumed reference data.展开更多

The water resource plays an important role in the sustainable development of this system. The value of water conserved by the forest is influenced by natural, economic and social factors. In this paper, the water quality, per capita water resources, per capita GDP and population density are chosen as indices to construct an index system for a comprehensive evaluation of water resources value. The weights of these indices are 0.443, 0.31, 0.141 and 0.106 respectively, which are determined by the analytic hierarchy process(AHP) method. The water resources value has been assessed by the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. The results show that the water resources value in the Hani Rice Terraces System is 4.25 RMB/m^3. Evaluating the value of water resources in the Hani Rice Terraces System can provide a reference for ecological compensation, for raising public awareness of the importance of protecting the system, and ultimately achieving its sustainable development.展开更多
