POSSIBILISTIC NORMALISATION AND REASONING UNDER PARTIAL INCONSISTENCY

Author(s):

The problem of normalisation of non-normalised fuzzy sets/possibility distributions is considered. A definition of a valid normalised possibility distribution is given at the mass assignment level and a characterisation of this definition at the distribution level is proposed. A number of possible normalisations are considered these being related to certain epistemic principles. Finally an interval approach to reasoning with partially inconsistent knowledge is introduced.

Convexity is one of the most important geometric properties of sets and a useful concept in many fields of mathematics, like optimization. As there are also important applications making use of fuzzy optimization, it is obvious that the studies of convexity are also frequent. In this paper we have extended the notion of convexity for hesitant fuzzy sets in order to fulfill some necessary properties. Namely, we have found an appropriate definition of convexity for hesitant fuzzy sets on any ordered universe based on aggregation functions such that it is compatible with the intersection, that is, the intersection of two convex hesitant fuzzy sets is a convex hesitant fuzzy set and it fulfills the cut worthy property.

Abstract In this study, we use possibility distribution as a basis for parameter uncertainty quantification in one-dimensional consolidation problems. A Possibility distribution is the one-point coverage function of a random set and viewed as containing both partial ignorance and uncertainty. Vagueness and scarcity of information needed for characterizing the coefficient of consolidation in clay can be handled using possibility distributions. Possibility distributions can be constructed from existing data, or based on transformation of probability distributions. An attempt is made to set a systematic approach for estimating uncertainty propagation during the consolidation process. The measure of uncertainty is based on Klir's definition (1995). We make comparisons with results obtained from other approaches (probabilistic…) and discuss the importance of using possibility distributions in this type of problems.

In this paper, the concept of fuzzy normed ring is introduced and some basic properties related to it are established. Our definition of normed rings on fuzzy sets leads to a new structure, which we call a fuzzy normed ring. We define fuzzy normed ring homomorphism, fuzzy normed subring, fuzzy normed ideal, fuzzy normed prime ideal, and fuzzy normed maximal ideal of a normed ring, respectively. We show some algebraic properties of normed ring theory on fuzzy sets, prove theorems, and give relevant examples.

The paper concerns the mathematical modeling of patient’s disease states and disease unit patterns for the needs of algorithms supporting medical decisions. Due to the specificity of medical data and assessments in the modeling of patient’s disease states as well as diseases, the fuzzy set methodology was used. The paper presents a number of new characteristics of fuzzy sets allowing to assess the quality of medical diagnosis. In addition, a definition of a multi-aspect fuzzy set is presented, which may be useful in supporting medical diagnostics based on multi-criteria similarity models. The presented results can be used in the construction of algorithms for assessing the patient's state of health and mainly in the construction of algorithms for supporting diagnostic processes.
