This work focuses on the categorical study of L-fuzzy automata with a pair of L-fuzzy relations as morphisms, where L is a complete regular residuated and co-residuated lattice. Specifically, we introduce and study the categorical concepts such as product, monics, and their duals in this category, as well as further examine the monoidal structure. Moreover, we investigate the relationship between the category of L-fuzzy automata and the category of non-deterministic automata. We show the existence of isomorphisms between the category of L-fuzzy automata and the category of chains of non-deterministic automata.

Specificity is a measure that tells us to what extent a fuzzy set is a singleton. The variety of application domains of this measure requires different specific forms of calculating it. One way to control the semantic nuances in the way specificity is computed is to generate it from other well-known measures in the Fuzzy Set Theory that have a wide range of evaluation functions with different axiomatics. Following this strategy, in this work we study in depth the inequality measures based on their axiomatics, we establish a method to use them as generators of specificity measures, and we analyze the semantics and the desired properties of specificity measures obtained according to the axioms satisfied by the inequality measures used as generators. As we will see, relevant results have been obtained that relate different families of specificity and inequality measures.

This work studies the fixed-time event-triggered fault-tolerant containment control problem for nonlinear multi-agent system (MAS) with actuator faults. First, by leveraging fuzzy logic system to approximate unknown nonlinear dynamics, a state observer is designed to estimate unmeasurable state variables. Second, to handle the actuator fault, a novel projection operator compensation mechanism is developed. Furthermore, a fixed-time nonlinear filter design is given to solve the explosion problem and dynamic event-triggering mechanism is proposed to save system resources. Then, combined with dynamic surface control and fuzzy control techniques, fixed-time adaptive fault-tolerant containment control strategy is proposed with rigorous stability analysis, and all followers are able to converge to the convex hull constructed by leaders. In contrast with existing approaches, the main superiority of the proposed containment control strategy is that the projection operator can handle actuator faults more efficiently, multiple parameters of nonlinear filter enhance system flexibility and dynamic threshold in triggering conditions helps to reduce triggering frequency. Finally, simulation results confirm that the proposed method ensures fixed-time convergence of the containment errors.

In the paper [E. Jiménez-Fernández, J. Rodríguez-López, E. A. Sánchez-Pérez, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 406 (2021),66-81], a McShane-Whitney extension theorem is presented for real-valued fuzzy Lipschitz maps between fuzzy metric spaces. Specifically, the codomain space is considered as a so-called Euclidean fuzzy metric space However, while the function ϕ is only required to be increasing, some results of the paper implicitly assume that ϕ is invertible, even though this is not explicitly stated.

在论文中[d]。Jiménez-Fernández, J. Rodríguez-López, E. a . Sánchez-Pérez, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 406(2021),66-81],给出了模糊度量空间间实值模糊Lipschitz映射的McShane-Whitney扩展定理。具体来说,上域空间被认为是一个所谓的欧几里得模糊度量空间(R, m φ,g,*)。然而,虽然函数φ只需要增加,但本文的一些结果隐含地假设φ是可逆的,即使这没有明确说明。我们在这里提出了另一种可能性,只要求φ也是左连续的。

To effectively characterize the effects of fuzzy uncertainties on structural systems, this study introduces a novel importance measure termed Possibilistic Variance-based Importance Measure (PVB-IM). By leveraging the High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) of the function, we extend the decomposition equation for fuzzy structural systems to establish the PVB-IM. This approach enables the identification of effects of fuzzy variables on system response within fuzzy uncertainties, thereby facilitating the design and optimization for such structural systems. We present a fundamental computational algorithm for PVB-IM using Monte Carlo simulation and propose an efficient algorithm based on the State Dependent Parameter (SDP) method for addressing complex engineering challenges. Through numerical and engineering examples, we validate the applicability and rationale of the PVB-IM, and demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the SDP algorithm.

Weighted Fuzzy Concept Cognitive Learning (WFCCL) improves concept learning by assigning different weights to attributes. However, existing weighting methods mainly rely on fuzzy entropy and fail to effectively handle the noise, uncertainty, and complexity commonly present in real-world data. Moreover, the key threshold λ for generating Advanced Weighted Fuzzy Concepts (AWFC) has not been thoroughly investigated, which may limit the depth of knowledge discovery and the applicability of the model. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Random Forest-Driven Weighted Fuzzy Concept Cognitive Learning (RF-WFCCL) method. The proposed approach leverages random forests to compute attribute importance, thereby making weight allocation more reflective of data characteristics and reducing the influence of noise and uncertainty. In addition, an adaptive optimization algorithm is designed to automatically determine the approximately optimal threshold for generating AWFC, enhancing the accuracy and applicability of concept cognition. Unlike traditional methods, our model not only improves the adaptability of weight allocation but also introduces a data-driven threshold optimization strategy to facilitate knowledge discovery. Finally, extensive experiments on 12 datasets using 12 classification algorithms demonstrate the feasibility and superiority of the proposed method.

The modularity holds a significant position in fuzzy set theory, which is closely related to the distributivity and can be viewed as a restricted general associativity equation. In this paper, we study the modularity between semi-t-operators and bi-uninorms, and completely describe the structure of such a pair of functions without any additional assumptions. Several examples are also provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

We develop a moment-preserving defuzzifier based on the Cafagna-Caterina characterization theorem. Given the first n Fourier moments of a membership function f ∈ [0, 1] on S1, it returns a crisp function χn which is a union of n arcs and whose first n moments match those of f exactly. For , corresponding to mass and centroid, we give a closed-form solution for the arc endpoints, whereas for n > 2 we present two numerical methods to compute those arcs. As an application, we apply the method to California Independent System Operator (CAISO) net demand data, and show that the four-arc solution automatically produces a midday gap that captures the solar valley, with arc locations emerging from moment-matching constraints rather than threshold selection or manual specification.
