A fuzzy framework to explain musical tuning in practice
2013
A theoretical tuning system is a set of pitches that can be used to play music. It is a fact that the human ear perceives notes with very close frequencies as if they were the same note. Therefore, in our approach a musical note and its pitch sensation are modeled as L-R fuzzy numbers with a modal interval and a bounded support. We pay particular attention to the 12-tone equal temperament (12-TET) for being the most widely used tuning system and we define the fuzzy 12-TET composed of 12 fuzzy notes. A similarity relation between a fuzzy note and a theoretical note can be defined, and subsequently a similarity class associated to each one of the fuzzy notes in the fuzzy 12-TET arises. Finall…
Fuzzy fixed points of generalized F2-geraghty type fuzzy mappings and complementary results
2016
The aim of this paper is to introduce generalized F2-Geraghty type fuzzy mappings on a metric space for establishing the existence of fuzzy fixed points of such mappings. As an application of our result, we obtain the existence of common fuzzy fixed point for a generalized F2-Geraghty type fuzzy hybrid pair. These results unify, generalize and complement various known comparable results in the literature. An example and an application to theoretical computer science are presented to support the theory proved herein. Also, to suggest further research on fuzzy mappings, a Feng–Liu type theorem is proved.
A construction of a fuzzy topology from a strong fuzzy metric
2016
<p>After the inception of the concept of a fuzzy metric by I. Kramosil and J. Michalek, and especially after its revision by A. George and G. Veeramani, the attention of many researches was attracted to the topology induced by a fuzzy metric. In most of the works devoted to this subject the resulting topology is an ordinary, that is a crisp one. Recently some researchers showed interest in the fuzzy-type topologies induced by fuzzy metrics. In particular, in the paper (J.J. Mi\~{n}ana, A. \v{S}ostak, {\it Fuzzifying topology induced by a strong fuzzy metric}, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 6938 DOI information: 10.1016/j.fss.2015.11.005.) a fuzzifying topology ${\mathcal T}:2^X \to [0,1]$ …
Portfolios with fuzzy returns: Selection strategies based on semi-infinite programming
2008
AbstractThis paper provides new models for portfolio selection in which the returns on securities are considered fuzzy numbers rather than random variables. The investor's problem is to find the portfolio that minimizes the risk of achieving a return that is not less than the return of a riskless asset. The corresponding optimal portfolio is derived using semi-infinite programming in a soft framework. The return on each asset and their membership functions are described using historical data. The investment risk is approximated by mean intervals which evaluate the downside risk for a given fuzzy portfolio. This approach is illustrated with a numerical example.
Cross-Efficiency in Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA): Some Proposals
2013
Different techniques have been proposed in the literature to rank decision making units (DMUs) in the context of Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis. In our opinion, those that result from using a ranking method to order the fuzzy efficiencies obtained are susceptible to a serious criticism: they are not based on objective criteria. Cross-efficiency evaluation was introduced as an extension of DEA aimed at ranking the DMUs. This methodology has found a significant number of applications and has been extensively investigated. In this chapter, we discuss some difficulties that arise with the definition of fuzzy cross-efficiencies and we propose a fuzzy cross-efficiency evaluation based on the FDE…
Fuzzy expected utility
1984
Decision making under uncertainty requires not only measures of the uncertainty of situations that we try to recognize , but also an estimate of the imprecision from which they are determined. This imprecision can be the result either of a lack of exactness in the measure of the elements which are necessary to the determination of the states of nature or the purely subjective interpretation of these states. Through a subjective measure of the non-measurable imprecision, the purpose of the fuzzy expected utility, which is investigated, is to translate with a great accuracy the imprecise behaviour of the decision-maker in an uncertain world. Consequently we propose to introduce first the prob…
Involving fuzzy orders for multi-objective linear programming
2012
This paper presents a solution approach for multi-objective linear programming problem. We propose to involve fuzzy order relations to describe the objective functions where in ”classical” fuzzy approach the membership functions which illustrate how far the concrete point is from the solution of individual problem are studied. Further the global fuzzy order relation is constructed by aggregating the individual fuzzy order relations. Thus the global fuzzy relation contains the information about all objective functions and in the last step we find a maximum in the set of constrains with respect to the global fuzzy order relation. We illustrate this approach by an example.
On the equivalence of two optimization methods for fuzzy linear programming problems
2000
Abstract The paper analyses the linear programming problem with fuzzy coefficients in the objective function. The set of nondominated (ND) solutions with respect to an assumed fuzzy preference relation, according to Orlovsky's concept, is supposed to be the solution of the problem. Special attention is paid to unfuzzy nondominated (UND) solutions (the solutions which are nondominated to the degree one). The main results of the paper are sufficient conditions on a fuzzy preference relation allowing to reduce the problem of determining UND solutions to that of determining the optimal solutions of a classical linear programming problem. These solutions can thus be determined by means of classi…
The fuzzy p-median problem: A global analysis of the solutions
2001
Abstract We apply fuzzy techniques to incorporate external data into p-median problems. So we can detect certain solutions that would be discarded by usual crisp and fuzzy algorithms but that contrasted with this additional information can be advantageous. This usually reveals a pathology of the model and hence our methods provide some fuzzy validation criteria for p-median models.
"Fixed Point Theorems for '?, ?'Contractive maps in Weak nonArchimedean Fuzzy Metric Spaces and Application"
2011
The present study introduce the notion of (ψ, ϕ)-Contractive maps in weak non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces to derive a common fixed point theorem which complements and extends the main theorems of [C.Vetro, Fixed points in weak non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces, Fuzzy Sets and System, 162 (2011), 84-90] and [D.Mihet, Fuzzy ψ-contractive mappings in non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces, Fuzzy Sets and System, 159 (2008) 739-744]. We support our result by establishing an application to product spaces.
