Fuzzy implications: alpha migrativity and generalised laws of importation

In this work, we discuss the law of α-migrativity as applied to fuzzy implication functions in a meaningful way. A generalisation of this law leads us to Pexider-type functional equations connected with the law of importation, viz., the generalised law of importation I(C(x,α),y)=I(x,J(α,y)) (GLI) and the generalised cross-law of importation I(C(x,α),y)=J(x,I(α,y)) (CLI), where C is a generalised conjunction. In this article we investigate only (GLI). We begin by showing that the satisfaction of law of importation by the pairs (C, I) and/or (C, J) does not necessarily lead to the satisfaction of (GLI). Hence, we study the conditions under which these three laws are related

An axiomatic approach to finite means

In this paper we analyze the notion of a finite mean from an axiomatic point of view. We discuss several axiomatic alternatives, with the aim of establishing a universal definition reconciling all of them and exploring theoretical links to some branches of Mathematics as well as to multidisciplinary applications

Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy Logic and Their Applications 2020

The present book contains the 24 total articles accepted and published in the Special Issue “Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy Logic and Their Applications, 2020” of the MDPI Mathematics journal, which covers a wide range of topics connected to the theory and applications of fuzzy sets and systems of fuzzy logic and their extensions/generalizations. These topics include, among others, elements from fuzzy graphs; fuzzy numbers; fuzzy equations; fuzzy linear spaces; intuitionistic fuzzy sets; soft sets; type-2 fuzzy sets, bipolar fuzzy sets, plithogenic sets, fuzzy decision making, fuzzy governance, fuzzy models in mathematics of finance, a philosophical treatise on the connection of the scientific reasoning with fuzzy logic, etc. It is hoped that the book will be interesting and useful for those working in the area of fuzzy sets, fuzzy systems and fuzzy logic, as well as for those with the proper mathematical background and willing to become familiar with recent advances in fuzzy mathematics, which has become prevalent in almost all sectors of the human life and activity
