In this paper, we continue the development of a formal theory of intermediate quantifiers. These quantifiers are linguistic expressions such as most, many, few, and almost all, and they correspond to what are often called fuzzy quantifiers in the literature. In a previous study, we demonstrated that 105 generalized syllogisms with intermediate quantifiers are valid in our theory. In this paper, we turn our attention to another problem, which is the analysis of the generalized Aristotelian square of opposition, which, in addition to the classical quantifiers, can be extended by several selected intermediate quantifiers. We show that the expected relations can be well modeled in our theory. Our theory is developed within a special higher-order fuzzy logic, Lukasiewicz fuzzy type theory, and is very general, with a high potential for applications. (c) 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

F-transform utility in the operational-matrix approach to the Volterra integral equation

Irina Perfilieva, Shokrollah Ziari, Rahele Nuraei, Thi Minh Tam Pham

Summary: The proposed approach uses the F-transform to construct an operational matrix for solving the Volterra integral equation. The transformed form of the equation reduces to a system of linear equations with a triangular matrix, making the numerical method efficient and low computational. The paper provides proofs of convergence, estimation of computational complexity, and compares the results with other methods using test cases.

Multiple adaptive fuzzy Nussbaum-type functions design for stochastic nonlinear systems with fixed-time performance

Yongliang Yang, Guilong Liu, Qing Li, Choon Ki Ahn

Summary: This paper proposes a novel type of Nussbaum function to handle the feedback control design problem with multiple unknown time-varying control coefficients. By separately compensating the unknown control coefficients and combining with the fixed-time stability theory, the issue of mutual cancellation is resolved and Lyapunov stability analysis becomes feasible. The theoretical discussions and simulation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented design for continuous-time stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems.

Some notes on the pan-integrals of set-valued functions

Tong Kang, Leifan Yan, Long Ye, Jun Li

Summary: This note solves an open problem proposed in the paper Kang et al. (2023) [9] by demonstrating the linearity of set-valued pan-integrals based on a fuzzy measure and the operations pair (+, center dot) through the subadditivity of the fuzzy measure. It also provides an example to show the necessity of the subadditivity condition for the linearity of set-valued pan-integrals. Furthermore, it introduces the pan-integral of set-valued functions based on a fuzzy measure and pan-operations pair (circle plus, circle times).

Minimization of hesitant L-fuzzy automaton

Marzieh Shamsizadeh, Mohammad Mehdi Zahedi, Mohamad Javad Agheli Goki

Summary: In this paper, we study a new generalization for the notion of fuzzy automata, called hesitant L-fuzzy automaton (HLFA). The mathematics framework for the theory of HLFA is presented. Moreover, the concepts of hesitant L-fuzzy behavior and inverse hesitant L-fuzzy behavior recognized by a type of HLFA are introduced. Additionally, a minimal complete accessible deterministic hesitant L-fuzzy automaton is presented for recognizing any hesitant L-fuzzy language, and an algorithm is proposed to determine the states of the minimal hesitant L-fuzzy automaton along with its time complexity.

On a value of a matrix game with fuzzy sets of player strategies

S. O. Mashchenko

Summary: This paper investigates a fuzzy matrix game with fuzzy sets of player strategies and proposes a method to construct a game value using Zadeh's extension principle and the approach to fuzzy matrix games. It is proved that the fuzzy sets of players strategies in a fuzzy matrix game generate a game value in the form of a type-2 fuzzy set on the real line.

Generalized nonlinear sector approaches for Takagi-Sugeno models

Gustave Bainier, Benoit Marx, Jean-Christophe Ponsart

Summary: The Nonlinear Sector Approach (NLSA) is a method to construct Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) models that precisely represent nonlinear systems with bounded nonlinearities. This paper generalizes the NLSA to polytopic and smooth convex bounding sets, providing new ways to reduce the conservatism of TS representations with interdependent scheduling parameters. Various Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) criteria are also provided for stability analysis of these models.

A generalized belief dissimilarity measure based on weighted conflict belief and distance metric and its application in multi-source data fusion

Mi Zhou, Ya-Jing Zhou, Jian-Bo Yang, Jian Wu

Summary: This study proposes a new dissimilarity measure for basic probability assignments (BPAs) in the Dempster-Shafer evidence structure, considering both distance measure and conflict belief. Comparative analysis demonstrates the applicability and validity of the proposed measure, which is further applied to multi-source data fusion and large-scale group decision making.

On compositions of (L-fuzzy) automata: A categorical approach

Narayan Choudhary, S. P. Tiwari, Shailendra Singh

Summary: This paper studies different compositions of (L-fuzzy) automata using category theory and introduces four different categories for the study. It shows that each category has specific properties and advances the existing categories in the field. The monoidal description of these categories enriches the fuzzy automata theory.

Interval-valued quasisupermodular function and monotone comparative statics

Lifeng Li, Qinjun Luo

Summary: In this study, we investigate monotone comparative statics under interval uncertainty. We introduce interval-valued supermodular functions and interval-valued quasisupermodular functions with respect to a partial order relation on intervals. Moreover, we derive some sufficient conditions for monotone comparative statics under interval uncertainty. We also apply these results to analyze the monotone comparative statics of interval games with strategic complements.
