Fuzzy Preference

Intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations (IFPRs) have the natural ability to reflect the positive, the negative and the non-determinative judgements of decision makers. A decision making model is proposed by considering the inherent property of IFPRs in this study, where the main novelty comes with the introduction of the concept of additive approximate consistency. First, the consistency definitions of IFPRs are reviewed and the underlying ideas are analyzed. Second, by considering the allocation of the non-determinacy degree of decision makers’ opinions, the novel concept of approximate consistency for IFPRs is proposed. Then the additive approximate consistency of IFPRs is defined and the properties are studied. Third, the priorities of alternatives are derived from IFPRs with additive approximate consistency by considering the effects of the permutations of alternatives and the allocation of the non-determinacy degree. The rankings of alternatives based on real, interval and intuitionistic fuzzy weights are investigated, respectively. Finally, some comparisons are reported by carrying out numerical examples to show the novelty and advantage of the proposed model. It is found that the proposed model can offer various decision schemes due to the allocation of the non-determinacy degree of IFPRs.

AbstractTaking the hint from usual parametrization of circle and hyperbola, and inspired by the pathwork initiated by Cayley and Dixon for the parametrization of the “Fermat” elliptic curve $$x^3+y^3=1$$ x 3 + y 3 = 1 , we develop an axiomatic study of what we call “Keplerian maps”, that is, functions $${{\,\mathrm{{\mathbf {m}}}\,}}(\kappa )$$ m ( κ ) mapping a real interval to a planar curve, whose variable $$\kappa $$ κ measures twice the signed area swept out by the O-ray when moving from 0 to $$\kappa $$ κ . Then, given a characterization of k-curves, the images of such maps, we show how to recover the k-map of a given parametric or algebraic k-curve, by means of suitable differential problems.

Rank Of A Matrix

An interval matrix is a matrix whose entries are intervals in $\R$. This concept, which has been broadly studied, is generalized to other fields. Precisely, a rational interval matrix is defined to be a matrix whose entries are intervals in $\Q$. It is proved that a (real) interval $p \times q$ matrix with the endpoints of all its entries in $\Q$ contains a rank-one matrix if and only if it contains a rational rank-one matrix, and contains a matrix with rank smaller than $\min\{p,q\}$ if and only if it contains a rational matrix with rank smaller than $\min\{p,q\}$; from these results and from the analogous criterions for (real) inerval matrices, a criterion to see when a rational interval matrix contains a rank-one matrix and a criterion to see when it is full-rank, that is, all the matrices it contains are full-rank, are deduced immediately. Moreover, given a field $K$ and a matrix $\al$ whose entries are subsets of $K$, a criterion to find the maximal rank of a matrix contained in $\al$ is described.

In the previous paper [11], introducing the notions of potentials and of capacity associated with a convex function Φ given on a regular functional space we discussed potential theoretic properties of the gradient ∇Φ which were originally introduced and studied by Calvert [5] for a class of nonlinear monotone operators in Sobolev spaces. For example: (i)The modulus contraction operates.(ii)The principle of lower envelope holds.(iii)The domination principle holds.(iv)The contraction Tk onto the real interval [0, k] (k > 0) operates.(v)The strong principle of lower envelope holds.(vi)The complete maximum principle holds.

AbstractLet m, n be nonnegative integers and B(m+n) be a set of m + n + 1 real interpolation points (not necessarily distinct). Let Rm,n = Pm,n/Qm.n be the unique rational function with deg Pm,n ≤ m, deg Qm,n ≤ n, that interpolates ex in the points of B(m+n). If m = mv, n = nv with mv + nv → ∞, and mv / nv → λ as v → ∞, and the sets B(m+n) are uniformly bounded, we show that locally uniformly in the complex plane C, where the normalization Qm,n(0) = 1 has been imposed. Moreover, for any compact set K ⊂ C we obtain sharp estimates for the error |ez — Rm,n(z)| when z ∈ K. These results generalize properties of the classical Padé approximants. Our convergence theorems also apply to best (real) Lp rational approximants to ex on a finite real interval.
