Some characterizations of T-power based implications

Recently, the so-called family of T-power based implications was introduced. These operators involve the use of Zadeh’s quantifiers based on powers of t-norms in its definition. Due to the fact that Zadeh’s quantifiers constitute the usual method to modify fuzzy propositions, this family of fuzzy implication functions satisfies an important property in approximate reasoning such as the invariance of the truth value of the fuzzy conditional when both the antecedent and the consequent are modified using the same quantifier. In this paper, an in-depth analysis of this property is performed by characterizing all binary functions satisfying it. From this general result, a fully characterization of the family of T-power based implications is presented. Furthermore, a second characterization is also proved in which surprisingly the invariance property is not explicitly used.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Fuzzy logic and information fusion: to commemorate the 70th birthday of Professor Gaspar Mayor

This book offers a timely report on key theories and applications of soft-computing. Written in honour of Professor Gaspar Mayor on his 70th birthday, it primarily focuses on areas related to his research, including fuzzy binary operators, aggregation functions, multi-distances, and fuzzy consensus/decision models. It also discusses a number of interesting applications such as the implementation of fuzzy mathematical morphology based on Mayor-Torrens t-norms. Importantly, the different chapters, authored by leading experts, present novel results and offer new perspectives on different aspects of Mayor’s research. The book also includes an overview of evolutionary fuzzy systems, a topic that is not one of Mayor’s main areas of interest, and a final chapter written by the Spanish pioneer in fuzzy logic, Professor E. Trillas. Computer and decision scientists, knowledge engineers and mathematicians alike will find here an authoritative overview of key soft-computing concepts and techniques

On portraiture = o retrato : teoria, prática e ficção : de Francisco de Holanda a Susan Sontag

O colóquio pretende discutir a teoria e a prática da experiência artística, histórica, antropológica, social e política do retrato, bem como a dimensão ficcional que elas comportam. Situada no cruzamento de várias áreas disciplinares, a discussão aborda o retrato enquanto conceito, tema, processo, objeto (monumento e documento) e dispositivo, nos seus múltiplos desdobramentos e nas suas sucessivas atualizações conceptuais, tecnológicas e contextuais. Mais do que definir um enquadramento temporal, o subtítulo — de Francisco de Holanda a Susan Sontag — indica a porosidade dinâmica do tema investigado nos domínios da arte e da literatura e da sua mútua reversibilidade.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography, Volume 9: All Formats—Combined Alphabetical Listing

This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B. De Waal’s comprehensive bibliography, The Universal Sherlock Holmes, but does not claim to be exhaustive in content. New works are continually discovered and added to this bibliography. Readers and researchers are invited to suggest additional content. This volume contains all listings in all formats, arranged alphabetically by author or main entry. In other words, it combines the listings from Volume 1 (Monograph and Serial Titles), Volume 3 (Periodical Articles), and Volume 7 (Audio/Visual Materials) into a comprehensive bibliography. (There may be additional materials included in this list, e.g. duplicate items and items not yet fully edited.) As in the other volumes, coverage of this material begins around 1994, the final year covered by De Waal's bibliography, but may not yet be totally up-to-date (given the ongoing nature of this bibliography). It is hoped that other titles will be added at a later date. At present, this bibliography includes 12,594 items
