There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

Type-2 fuzzy sets let us model and minimize the effects of uncertainties in rule-base fuzzy logic systems. However, they are difficult to understand for a variety of reasons which we enunciate. In this paper, we strive to overcome the difficulties by: (1) establishing a small set of terms that let us easily communicate about type-2 fuzzy sets and also let us define such sets very precisely, (2) presenting a new representation for type-2 fuzzy sets, and (3) using this new representation to derive formulas for union, intersection and complement of type-2 fuzzy sets without having to use the Extension Principle.

Type-2 fuzzy sets made simple

Several extensions and generalizations of fuzzy sets have been introduced in the literature, for example, Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets, type 2 fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multisets. In this paper, we propose hesitant fuzzy sets. Although from a formal point of view, they can be seen as fuzzy multisets, we will show that their interpretation differs from the two existing approaches for fuzzy multisets. Because of this, together with their definition, we also introduce some basic operations. In addition, we also study their relationship with intuitionistic fuzzy sets. We prove that the envelope of the hesitant fuzzy sets is an intuitionistic fuzzy set. We prove also that the operations we propose are consistent with the ones of intuitionistic fuzzy sets when applied to the envelope of the hesitant fuzzy sets. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Neuro-inspired edge feature fusion using Choquet integrals

Image Thresholding Computation Using Atanassov’s Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets

In this paper, we investigate a mechanism for fusing a set of inputs (values) in such a way that the procedure does not create new information during the process. In order to do so, we introduce internal fusion functions, a family of fusion functions in which the output always corresponds to some of the given inputs. We perform an in-depth theoretical study of internal fusion functions and, furthermore, we propose three different construction methods, which are based on 1) an arbitrary fusion function and a partition of the domain; 2) a linear order; and 3) a minimization mechanism using penalty functions. Finally, we illustrate this paper with the application of internal fusion functions in two image processing algorithms where a set of images must be fused, namely multifocus image and denoised image fusion, as well as in an example of multiclass problem, where we fuse a set of score matrices obtained by several classification algorithms.
