The main objective of this paper is to investigate the average general fractal dimensions of typical compact metric spaces within the Gromov-Hausdorff space, using the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. As an application of the main results, we demonstrate that a typical compact metric space Σ exhibits such irregularity that the lower and upper average general Hewitt-Stromberg dimensions, as well as the general box dimensions corresponding to all higher-order Hölder and Cesàro averages, diverge significantly.

In 2022, Zhu et al. [14] studied the α-cross-migrativity between uninorms and overlap (grouping) functions, and mainly characterized in detail the corresponding cross-migrativity property when uninorms belong to five general classes (i.e., , , , and ), respectively. However, the results obtained by Zhu et al. have some defects, such as lengthy (or unclear) proofs, false proofs and faulty conclusions. Therefore, this paper indicates the defects and reasons, and the corresponding correction. In addition, some further conclusions are given, which relates the α-cross-migrativity between uninorms and overlap (grouping) functions to α-cross-migrativity between t-norms (t-conorms) and overlap (grouping) functions.

This study emanates from a simple observation: as specified by Vapnik [37] in his study, an artificial neural network cannot generate a universal approximator if the aggregation function chosen to design the artificial neuron does not include non-linearity. The usual option is to follow a linear aggregation by a non-linear function, or so-called activation function. We wonder if this approach could be replaced by one using a natively non-linear aggregation function.
Among all of the available non-linear aggregation functions, here we are interested in aggregations based on weighted minimum and weighted maximum operations [8]. As these operators were originally developed within a possibility theory and fuzzy rule framework, such operators cannot be easily integrated into a neural network because the values that are usually considered belong to . For gradient descent based learning, a neuron must be an aggregation function derivable with respect to its inputs and synaptic weights, whose variables (synaptic weights, inputs and outputs) must all be signed real values. We thus propose an extension of weighted maximum based aggregation to enable this learning process. We show that such an aggregation can be seen as a combination of four Sugeno integrals. Finally, we compare this type of approach with the classical one.

This paper studies the nonfragile anti-transitional-asynchrony fault tolerant control for discrete interval type-2 fuzzy semi-Markov jump systems with bounded dwell time. In contrast to the traditional Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model, this paper utilises the interval 2-type fuzzy model to represent the nonlinear discrete semi-Markov jump systems. The main novelty is to design an anti-transitional-asynchrony fault-tolerant control mechanism with controller gain fluctuations under the framework of IT2 fuzzy, fault-tolerant control, and transitional asynchrony, which reduces the conservatism to a certain extent. The transitional asynchrony is adopted, i.e., the controller switching lags behind the plant switching, and this lag is associated with the transition between the current mode and the next mode. By virtue of semi-Markov kernel method, the mean-square stability of the underlying system is achieved, overcoming the difficulties caused by the transitional asynchrony. In addition, taking into account that the actuator may encounter random faults during system operation, this paper applies a fault tolerant method in the design of nonfragile anti-transitional-asynchrony control to improve the fault tolerance of the system. Finally, a tunnel circuit model verifies the effectiveness of the designed control method.

This paper considers the prescribed performance fuzzy adaptive tracking control problem of multiagent systems under a chaos-based privacy-preserving mechanism and a learning-enabled event-triggered mechanism. Initially, a chaos-based mask function is constructed, which is related to the chaotic states in the Lorentz system. The utilization of chaos adds unpredictability and full randomness to the mask function, which greatly reduces the risk of privacy leakage. Additionally, two value functions are designed as inputs of the fully connected neural network, and the fully connected neural network is used to predict the parameter value in the event-triggered mechanism, which effectively enhances the flexibility of the proposed learning-enabled event-triggered mechanism. Furthermore, in the process of controller design, by employing an error transformed function, the system errors are stabilized within the prescribed performance boundaries. Finally, a simulation example is provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

This paper focuses on the problem of dynamic event-triggered fault-tolerant control (FTC) for nonaffine systems with unmeasurable state and asymmetric error constrain. At first, an adaptive failure compensation observer is designed to calculate unpredictable state of the nonaffine systems. Then, a dynamic event triggering strategy (DETS) is constructed to adjust the control signal and make it more flexible in transmission. Next, a new error-dependent conversion function (EDCF) is designed to confine tracing error, which can ensure that the designed Lyapunov function is always positive definite, and extend the symmetric constraint boundary to the asymmetric constraint boundary. The tracking performance and stability of closed-loop systems are proven through Lyapunov stability analysis. Finally, the availability of this method is verified by simulation experiments.

Ternary fuzzy relations, and fuzzy betweenness relations in particular, are witnessing increasing attention in recent years. A key reason is that axiomatic properties of ternary fuzzy relations seem to be ideally suited to capture geometric characteristics of the abstract notion of betweenness. In this paper, we introduce several new properties of ternary fuzzy relations, including the Peano property, the Pasch property and the sand-glass property, that can be qualified as geometric properties. We investigate their interrelationships as well as their connections with various types of fuzzy betweenness relations. Additionally, in the context of our study of the Pasch property and the sand-glass property, we introduce the convexity property of ternary fuzzy relations by taking inspiration from the solid theoretical basis of the theory of fuzzy convex structures.

A popular measure of association is the tail dependence coefficient, which measures the strength of dependence in the tail of a bivariate distribution. In this paper, we introduce the concept of quantile dependence, which extends the idea of tail dependence and can be used to measure the dependence of specific quantiles of two random variables in a particular area of the distribution's domain. We analyze the characteristics of the proposed quantile dependence coefficient and provide various examples to demonstrate our findings.

本文介绍了非对称区间数 (AIN),这是一种新型区间数,它结合了经典区间数的直接识别特性和模糊集的先进不确定性建模能力,同时又保持了简洁性。AIN 包含区间内的期望值,与经典区间数相比,能更准确地表示数据的不确定性。我们定义了 AIN 的基本算术运算,讨论了它们的特性,并提供了证明。此外,我们还提出了基本二元和一元运算的对称性和不对称性定理,从而加强了 AIN 的数学框架。几个示例展示了 AIN 的实际应用。尽管仍存在一些挑战,如探索不同分布的性能和减少高估,但 AINs 是区间运算中一个很有前途的进步。本研究强调了 AINs 的实践和理论意义,为进一步研究 AINs 并将其应用于各种科学和工业领域铺平了道路。
