This paper proposes a unique optimization approach for estimating the minimax rational approximation and its application for evaluating matrix functions. Our method enables the extension to generalized rational approximations and has the…
We consider fuzzy valued functions from two parametric representations of $\alpha$-level sets. New concepts are introduced and compared with available notions. Following the two proposed approaches, we study fuzzy differential equations.…
In an earlier work we have used the Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFNs)as an assessment tool of student skills.This approach led to an approximate linguistic characterization of the students' overall performance, but it was not proved to be…
The paper extends the widely used in optimisation theory decoupling techniques to infinite collections of functions. Extended concepts of uniform lower semicontinuity and firm uniform lower semicontinuity are discussed. The main theorems…
This article presents a theory of differential and integral calculus for mapping between Banach spaces formed by subsets of fuzzy numbers called A-linearly correlated fuzzy numbers, where both the domain and codomain are spaces composed of…
In this paper we prove the existence of a time-frequency space that best approximates a given finite set of data. Here best approximation is in the least square sense, among all time-frequency spaces with no more than a prescribed number of…
We consider the problem of approximation of a continuous function $f$ defined on a compact metric space $X$ by elements from a sum of two algebras. We prove a de la Vall\'{e}e Poussin type theorem, which estimates the approximation error…
In a recent paper [1] we introduced the Fuzzy Bayesian Learning (FBL) paradigm where expert opinions can be encoded in the form of fuzzy rule bases and the hyper-parameters of the fuzzy sets can be learned from data using a Bayesian…
In nature, there are many phenomena with both irregularity and uncertainty. Therefore, a fuzzy-valued fractal interpolation is more useful for modeling them than fuzzy interpolation or fractal interpolation. We construct fractal…
We consider the problem of finding the best harmonic or analytic approximant to a given function. We discuss when the best approximant is unique, and what regularity properties the best approximant inherits from the original function. All…
In some complicated datasets, due to the presence of noisy data points and outliers, cluster validity indices can give conflicting results in determining the optimal number of clusters. This paper presents a new validity index for…

The purpose of the paper is to provide a new way of seeing the p-value in terms of a fuzzy membership function. According to the ASAs statement, we aim at removing the arbitrary choice of the significance level and at demonstrating that the…
Fuzzy rough sets are well-suited for working with vague, imprecise or uncertain information and have been succesfully applied in real-world classification problems. One of the prominent representatives of this theory is fuzzy-rough nearest…
This article addresses structure-preserving smooth approximation of semiconcave functions. semiconcave functions are of particular interest because they naturally arise in a variety of variational problems, including {optimal feedback…
In this paper, the notion of dimension preserving approximation for real-valued bivariate continuous functions, defined on a rectangular domain $\rectangle$, has been introduced and several results, similar to well-known results of…
The fuzzy $K$-means problem is a generalization of the classical $K$-means problem to soft clusterings, i.e. clusterings where each points belongs to each cluster to some degree. Although popular in practice, prior to this work the fuzzy…
This article is meant to give a lucid and widely accessible, self-contained account of a novel way of performing arithmetic operations on fuzzy intervals. Based on two formulae of generalized inversion (the first in close analogy to the…
Fuzzy relational inequalities with fuzzy constraints (FRI-FC) are the generalized form of fuzzy relational inequalities (FRI) in which fuzzy inequality replaces ordinary inequality in the constraints. Fuzzy constraints enable us to attain…
The theory of fuzzy mathematics has been proven very effective for defining and solving optimization problems. Fuzzy quadratic programming (FQP) is a consequence of this approach. In this paper, an algorithm has been proposed to solve FQP…
