Translation, modulation and dilation systems in set-valued signal processing

In this paper, we investigate a very important function space consists of set-valued functions defined on the set of real numbers with values on the space of all compact-convex subsets of complex numbers for which the $p$th power of their norm is integrable. In general, this space is denoted by $L^{p}% (\mathbb{R},\Omega(\mathbb{C}))$ for $1\leq p<\infty$ and it has an algebraic structure named as a quasilinear space which is a generalization of a classical linear space. Further, we introduce an inner-product (set-valued inner product) on $L^{2}(\mathbb{R},\Omega(\mathbb{C}))$ and we think it is especially important to manage interval-valued data and interval-based signal processing. This also can be used in imprecise expectations. The definition of inner-product on $L^{2}(\mathbb{R},\Omega(\mathbb{C}))$ is based on Aumann integral which is ready for use integration of set-valued functions and we show that the space $L^{2}(\mathbb{R},\Omega(\mathbb{C}))$ is a Hilbert quasilinear space. Finally, we give translation, modulation and dilation operators which are three fundational set-valued operators on Hilbert quasilinear space $L^{2}(\mathbb{R},\Omega(\mathbb{C}))$.

SET DEFUZZIFICATION AND CHOQUET INTEGRAL

In this paper, we discuss the defuzzification problem. We first propose a set defuzzification method, (from a fuzzy set to a crisp set) by using the Aumann integral. From the obtained set to a point, we have two methods of defuzzification. One of these uses the mean value method and the other uses a fuzzy measure. In the first case, we compare our mean value method with the method of the center of gravity. In the second case, we compare fuzzy measure method with the Choquet integral method. We also give there a sufficient condition so that the results in the last two methods are equivalent.

Convergence theorems for Banach space valued integrable multifunctions

In this work we generalize a result of Kato on the pointwise behavior of a weakly convergent sequence in the Lebesgue-Bochner spacesLXP(Ω) (1≤p≤∞). Then we use that result to prove Fatou's type lemmata and dominated convergence theorems for the Aumann integral of Banach space valued measurable multifunctions. Analogous convergence results are also proved for the sets of integrable selectors of those multifunctions. In the process of proving those convergence theorems we make some useful observations concerning the Kuratowski-Mosco convergence of sets.
