Super Fuzzy Matrices and Super Fuzzy Models for Social Scientists
This book introduces the concept of fuzzy super matrices and operations on
them. This book will be highly useful to social scientists who wish to work
with multi-expert models. Super fuzzy models using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, Fuzzy
Relational Maps, Bidirectional Associative Memories and Fuzzy Associative
Memories are defined here. The authors introduce 13 multi-expert models using
the notion of fuzzy supermatrices. These models are described with illustrative
examples. This book has three chapters. In the first chaper, the basic concepts
about super matrices and fuzzy super matrices are recalled. Chapter two
introduces the notion of fuzzy super matrices adn their properties. The final
chapter introduces many super fuzzy multi expert models.Comment: 280 page
SPECIAL FUZZY MATRICES FOR SOCIAL SCIENTISTS
This book is a continuation of the book, Elementary fuzzy matrix and fuzzy models for socio-scientists by the same authors. This book is a little advanced because we introduce a multi-expert fuzzy and neutrosophic models. It mainly tries to help social scientists to analyze any problem in which they need multi-expert systems with multi-models. To cater to this need, we have introduced new classes of fuzzy and neutrosophic special matrices. The first chapter is essentially spent on introducing the new notion of different types of special fuzzy and neutrosophic matrices, and the simple operations on them which are needed in the working of these multi expert models. In the second chapter, new set of multi expert models are introduced; these special fuzzy models and special fuzzy neutrosophic models that can cater to adopt any number of experts. The working of the model is also explained by illustrative examples. However, these special fuzzy models can also be used by applied mathematicians to study social and psychological problems. These models can also be used by doctors, engineers, scientists and statisticians. The SFCM, SMFCM, SNCM, SMNCM, SFRM, SNRM, SMFRM, SMNRM, SFNCMs, SFNRMs, etc. can give the special hidden pattern for any given special input vector
Fuzzy Interval Matrices, Neutrosophic Interval Matrices and their Applications
The new concept of fuzzy interval matrices has been introduced in this book
for the first time.
The authors have not only introduced the notion of fuzzy interval matrices,
interval neutrosophic matrices and fuzzy neutrosophic interval matrices but
have also demonstrated some of its applications when the data under study is an
unsupervised one and when several experts analyze the problem. Further, the
authors have introduced in this book multiexpert models using these three new
types of interval matrices. The new multi expert models dealt in this book are
FCIMs, FRIMs, FCInMs, FRInMs, IBAMs, IBBAMs, nIBAMs, FAIMs, FAnIMS, etc.
Illustrative examples are given so that the reader can follow these concepts
easily. This book has three chapters. The first chapter is introductory in
nature and makes the book a self-contained one. Chapter two introduces the
concept of fuzzy interval matrices. Also the notion of fuzzy interval matrices,
neutrosophic interval matrices and fuzzy neutrosophic interval matrices, can
find applications to Markov chains and Leontief economic models. Chapter three
gives the application of fuzzy interval matrices and neutrosophic interval
matrices to real-world problems by constructing the models already mentioned.
Further these models are mainly useful when the data is an unsupervised one and
when one needs a multi-expert model. The new concept of fuzzy interval matrices
and neutrosophic interval matrices will find their applications in engineering,
medical, industrial, social and psychological problems. We have given a long
list of references to help the interested reader.Comment: 304 page
RESERVATION FOR OTHER BACKWARD CLASSES IN INDIAN CENTRAL GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS LIKE IITs, IIMs AND AIIMS β A STUDY OF THE ROLE OF MEDIA USING FUZZY SUPER FRM MODELS
The new notions of super column FRM model, super row FRM model and mixed super FRM model are introduced in this book. These three models are introduced specially to analyze the biased role of the print media on 27 percent reservation for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in educational institutions run by the Indian Central Government. This book has four chapters. In chapter one the authors introduce the three types of super FRM models. Chapter two uses these three new super fuzzy models to study the role of media which feverishly argued against 27 percent reservation for OBCs in Central Government-run institutions in India. The experts we consulted were divided into 19 groups depending on their profession. These groups of experts gave their opinion and comments on the news-items that appeared about reservations in dailies and weekly magazines, and the gist of these lengthy discussions form the third chapter of this book. The fourth chapter gives the conclusions based on our study. Our study was conducted from April 2006 to March 2007, at which point of time the Supreme Court of India stayed the 27 percent reservation for OBCs in the IITs, IIMs and AIIMS. After the aforesaid injunction from the Supreme Court, the experts did not wish to give their opinion since the matter was sub-judice. The authors deeply acknowledge the service of each and every expert who contributed their opinion and thus made this book a possibility. We have analyzed the data using the opinion of the experts who formed a heterogeneous group consisting of administrators, lawyers, OBC/SC/ST students, upper caste students and Brahmin students, educationalists, university vice-chancellors, directors, professors, teachers, retired Judges, principals of colleges, parents, journalists, members of the public, politicians, doctors, engineers, NGOs and government staff
Super Fuzzy Matrices and Super Fuzzy Models for Social Scientists
The concept of supermatrix for social scientists was first introduced by Paul Horst. The main purpose of his book was to introduce this concept to social scientists, students, teachers and research workers who lacked mathematical training. This book introduces the concept of fuzzy super matrices and operations on them. The author has provided only those operations on fuzzy supermatrices that are essential for developing super fuzzy multi expert models. This book will be highly useful to social scientists who wish to work with multi expert models
