TLDR
The book updates the research agenda with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy data analysis, decision making and fuzzy set models in operations research.Abstract:
Fuzzy Set Theory - And Its Applications, Third Edition is a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory. It can also be used as an introduction to the subject. The character of a textbook is balanced with the dynamic nature of the research in the field by including many useful references to develop a deeper understanding among interested readers. The book updates the research agenda (which has witnessed profound and startling advances since its inception some 30 years ago) with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy data analysis, decision making and fuzzy set models in operations research. All chapters have been updated. Exercises are included.read more

Organizational Culture: Can It Be a Source of Sustained Competitive Advantage?
TL;DR: In this article, three attributes that a firm's culture must have to generate sustained competitive advantages are isolated, and the normative implications of the analysis are discussed, and it is shown that firms that do not have these attributes can engage in activities that will modify their cultures and generate sustained superior financial performance because their modified cultures typically will be neither rare nor imperfectly imitable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensions of the TOPSIS for group decision-making under fuzzy environment
TL;DR: The rating of each alternative and the weight of each criterion are described by linguistic terms which can be expressed in triangular fuzzy numbers and a vertex method is proposed to calculate the distance between two triangular fuzzyNumbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft set theory
TL;DR: The authors define equality of two soft sets, subset and super set of a soft set, complement of asoft set, null soft set and absolute soft set with examples and De Morgan's laws and a number of results are verified in soft set theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fuzzy logic systems for engineering: a tutorial
TL;DR: After synthesizing a FLS, it is demonstrated that it can be expressed mathematically as a linear combination of fuzzy basis functions, and is a nonlinear universal function approximator, a property that it shares with feedforward neural networks.
