Note on “Generalized fuzzy interior ideals in semigroups”

In this paper, we give a negative answer to an open question about (∈, ∈ ∨q)-fuzzy interior ideals, proposed in Jun and Song [Y.B. Jun, S.Z. Song, Generalized fuzzy interior ideals in semigroups, Inform. Sci. 176 (2006) 3079-3093].     

Generalized fuzzy interior ideals in semigroups

Using the idea of quasi-coincidence of a fuzzy point with a fuzzy set, the concept of an (α,β)-fuzzy interior ideal, which is a generalization of a fuzzy interior ideal, in a semigroup is introduced, and related properties are investigated.

Characterizations of regular ordered semigroups in terms of (α, β)-fuzzy generalized bi-ideals

In this paper, the concept of an (α, β)-fuzzy generalized bi-ideal in an ordered semigroup is introduced, which is a generalization of the concept of a fuzzy generalized bi-ideal in an ordered semigroup. Using this concept, some characterization theorems are provided. The upper/lower parts of an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)-fuzzy generalized bi-ideal are introduced and some characterizations of regular ordered semigroups are given. Also, we consider the concept of implication-based fuzzy generalized bi-ideals in an ordered semigroup. In particular, the implication operators in Lukasiewicz system of continuous-valued logic are discussed.

First, some new properties of generalized (?, T)-fuzzy rough approximation operators are obtained. Then, a new fuzzy algebraic structure - TL-fuzzy rough ideal is defined and its properties investigated. And finally, the homomorphism of (?, T)-fuzzy rough approximation operators is studied.

Second order (F, α, ρ, d)-convexity and duality in multiobjective programming

A class of second order (F, α, ρ, d)-convex functions and their generalizations is introduced. Using the assumptions on the functions involved, weak, strong and strict converse duality theorems are established for a second order Mond-Weir type multiobjective dual.     

Generalized fuzzy bi-ideals of semigroups

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh, there have been a number of generalizations of this fundamental concept. The notion of (∈, ∈ ∨q)-fuzzy subgroups introduced by Bhakat is one among them. In this paper, using the relations between fuzzy points and fuzzy sets, the concept of a fuzzy bi-ideal with thresholds is introduced and some interesting properties are investigated. The acceptable nontrivial concepts obtained in this manner are the (∈, ∈ ∨q)-fuzzy bi-ideals and -fuzzy bi-ideals, which are extension of the concept of a fuzzy bi-ideal in semigroup.     

On a new class of fuzzy implications: h-Implications and generalizations

A new class of fuzzy implications called the h-implications is introduced. They are implications generated from an additive generator of a representable uninorm in a similar way of Yager’s f- and g-implications which are generated from additive generators of continuous Archimedean t-norms and t-conorms. Basic properties of these implications are studied in detail. Modifications and generalizations of the initial definition are presented and their properties studied and compared between them. One of the modifications, called (h, e)-implications, is another example of a fuzzy implication satisfying the exchange principle but not the law of importation for any t-norm, in fact for any function F : [0, 1]² → [0, 1].     

Multi-objective decision making model under fuzzy random environment and its application to inventory problems

In this paper, we concentrate on developing a fuzzy random multi-objective model about inventory problems. By giving some definitions and discussing some properties of fuzzy random variable, we design a method of solving solution sets of fuzzy random multi-objective programming problems. These are applied to numerical inventory problems in which all inventory costs, purchasing and selling prices in the objectives and constraints are assumed to be fuzzy random variables in nature, and then the impreciseness of fuzzy random variables in the above objectives and constraints are transformed into fuzzy variables which are similar trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The exact parameters of fuzzy membership function and probability density function can be obtained through fuzzy random simulating the past dates. By comparing the results with those from the fuzzy multi-objective models, we believe that the proposed fuzzy random multi-objective model and hybrid intelligent algorithm provide significant solutions to construct other inventory models with fuzzy random variables in real life.     

Lattice implication ordered semigroups

From the viewpoint of semantics, lattice implication algebras provide a basis to establish lattice-valued logic with truth value in a relatively general lattice. In this paper, we first introduce two notions of lattice implication n-ordered semigroup and lattice implication p-ordered semigroup, which induced by lattice implication algebras. Secondly, we study some of their basic properties and prove that a lattice implication n-ordered semigroup is a residuated semigroup, and a lattice implication p-ordered semigroup is an arithmetic lattice ordered semigroup. We also define the homomorphism mapping between lattice implication n-ordered semigroups. Finally, we discuss some properties of filters and sl ideals in lattice implication n-ordered semigroups and lattice implication p-ordered semigroups.     

A novel secret image sharing scheme in color images using small shadow images

Over the past several years, secret image sharing techniques have become another branch of the effort to prevent secret images from being eavesdropped on, in addition to traditional cryptography. Because smaller shadows can speed up the transmission of a secret color image, in this paper we combine Chang and Wu’s gradual search algorithm for a single bitmap BTC (GSBTC) and Shamir’s (k, n) threshold concept to propose a novel secret color image sharing scheme that generates smaller shadows. Experimental results confirm that the proposed scheme successfully reduces shadow size and that each shadow behaves as a random-like image that prevents leakage of information about the secret color image. Furthermore, the correlation between two vertically or horizontally adjacent pixels in each shadow is significantly less than those in a color secret image, and the presented scheme also achieves, on average, an NPCR = 0.414% and AUCI = 32.78%. Thus, with our scheme one-pixel difference could cause a significant difference in the corresponding shadows. Therefore, the security of the presented scheme is also confirmed.     

Generalized fuzzy filters of <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>-algebras

In this paper, we introduce the notions of interval valued -fuzzy filters and interval valued -fuzzy Boolean (implicative) filters in R ₀-algebras and investigate some of their related properties. Some characterization theorems of these generalized fuzzy filters are derived. In particular, we prove that an interval valued fuzzy set F in R ₀-algebras is an interval valued -fuzzy Boolean filter if and only if it is an interval valued -fuzzy implicative filter.     

Fuzzy -ary polygroups related to fuzzy points

Recently, fuzzy n-ary sub-polygroups were introduced and studied by Davvaz, Corsini and Leoreanu-Fotea [B. Davvaz, P. Corsini, V. Leoreanu-Fotea, Fuzzy n-ary sub-polygroups, Comput. Math. Appl. 57 (2008) 141–152]. Now, in this paper, the concept of (,q)-fuzzy n-ary sub-polygroups, -fuzzy n-ary sub-polygroups and fuzzy n-ary sub-polygroup with thresholds of an n-ary polygroup are introduced and some characterizations are described. Also, we give the definition of implication-based fuzzy n-ary sub-polygroups in an n-ary polygroup, in particular, the implication operators in Łukasiewicz system of continuous-valued logic are discussed.     

Results on residual Rényi entropy of order statistics and record values

This paper explores properties of the residual Rényi entropy of some ordered random variables. The residual Rényi entropy of the kth order statistic from a continuous distribution function is represented in terms of the residual Rényi entropy of the kth order statistic from uniform distribution. The monotone behavior of the residual Rényi entropy of order statistic under various conditions is discussed. Analogues results for the residual Rényi entropy of record values are also given.     

Determination of α-resolution in lattice-valued first-order logic LF(X)

Key issues for resolution-based automated reasoning in lattice-valued first-order logic LF(X) are investigated with truth-values in a lattice-valued logical algebraic structure-lattice implication algebra (LIA). The determination of resolution at a certain truth-value level (called α-resolution) in LF(X) is proved to be equivalently transformed into the determination of α-resolution in lattice-valued propositional logic LP(X) based on LIA. The determination of α-resolution of any quasi-regular generalized literals and constants under various cases in LP(X) is further analyzed, specified, and subsequently verified. Hence the determination of α-resolution in LF(X) can be accordingly solved to a very broad extent, which not only lays a foundation for the practical implementation of automated reasoning algorithms in LF(X), but also provides a key support for α-resolution-based automated reasoning approaches and algorithms in LIA based linguistic truth-valued logics.     

Intuitionistic (<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>)-fuzzy hyperquasigroups

The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy subhyperquasigroups in a hyperquasigroup with respect to an s-norm and a t-norm on intuitionistic fuzzy sets is introduced and their properties of such hyperquasigroups are studied. Intuitionistic (S, T)-fuzzy relations on a hyperquasigroup G are discussed. In particular, we investigate connections hyperquasigroups with binary quasigroups.     

A multi-server perishable inventory system with negative customer

In this paper, we consider a continuous review perishable inventory system with multi-server service facility. In such systems the demanded item is delivered to the customer only after performing some service, such as assembly of parts or installation, etc. Compared to many inventory models in which the inventory is depleted at the demand rate, however in this model, it is depleted, at the rate at which the service is completed. We assume that the arrivals of customers are according to a Markovian arrival process (MAP) and that the service time has exponential distribution. The ordering policy is based on (s, S) policy. The lead time is assumed to have exponential distribution. The customer who finds either all servers are busy or no item (excluding those in service) is in the stock, enters into an orbit of infinite size. These orbiting customers send requests at random time points for possible selection of their demands for service. The interval time between two successive request-time points is assumed to have exponential distribution. In addition to the regular customers, a second flow of negative customers following an independent MAP is also considered so that a negative customer will remove one of the customers from the orbit. The joint probability distribution of the number of busy servers, the inventory level and the number of customers in the orbit is obtained in the steady state. Various measures of stationary system performance are computed and the total expected cost per unit time is calculated. The results are illustrated numerically.     

Generalized fuzzy h-bi-ideals and h-quasi-ideals of hemirings

A new kind of generalized fuzzy h-ideals of a hemiring, namely, the (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy h-bi-ideal (resp., h-quasi-ideal) is studied and the relationships between these generalized fuzzy h-ideals are described. Some characterization theorems of prime and semiprime (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy h-bi-ideals (resp., h-quasi-ideals) of a hemiring are also given. In particular, we show that the h-hemiregular hemirings and h-intra-hemiregular hemirings can be described by using some of their generalized fuzzy h-ideals. Finally, the implication-based fuzzy h-bi-ideals (resp., h-quasi-ideals) of a hemiring are considered.     

Numerical investigations on dynamic stall of low Reynolds number flow around oscillating airfoils

This paper presents a 2D computational investigation on the dynamic stall phenomenon associated with unsteady flow around the NACA0012 airfoil at low Reynolds number (Re_c ≈ 10⁵). Two sets of oscillating patterns with different frequencies, mean oscillating angles and amplitudes are numerically simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and the results obtained are validated against the corresponding published experimental data. It is concluded that the CFD prediction captures well the vortex-shedding predominated flow structure which is experimentally obtained and the results quantitatively agree well with the experimental data, except when the blade is at a very high angle of attack.
