On Λ-generalized closed sets in topological spaces

We introduce new classes of sets called Λ _g -closed sets and Λ _g -open sets in topological spaces. We also investigate several properties of such sets. It turns out that Λ _g -closed sets and Λ _g -open sets are weaker forms of closed sets and open sets, respectively and stronger forms of g-closed sets and g-open sets, respectively.

Interval Valued Intuitionistic （S, T）-fuzzy Hv-submodules

On the basis of the concept of the interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduced by K. Atanassov, the notion of interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hv-submodules of an Hv-module with respect to a t-norm T and an s-norm S is given and the characteristic properties are described. The homomorphic image and the inverse image are investigated. In particular, the connections between interval valued intuitionistic （S, T）-fuzzy Hv-submodules and interval valued intuitionistic （S, T）-fuzzy submodules are discussed.     

Properties of Distortion Risk Measures

The current literature does not reach a consensus on which risk measures should be used in practice. Our objective is to give at least a partial solution to this problem. We study properties that a risk measure must satisfy to avoid inadequate portfolio selections. The properties that we propose for risk measures can help avoid the problems observed with popular measures, like Value at Risk (VaR _α ) or Conditional VaR _α (CVaR _α ). This leads to the definition of two new families: complete and adapted risk measures. Our focus is on risk measures generated by distortion functions. Two new properties are put forward for these: completeness, ensuring that the distortion risk measure uses all the information of the loss distribution, and adaptability, forcing the measure to use this information adequately.

A New View on Fuzzy Hypermodules

We describe the relationship between the fuzzy sets and the algebraic hyperstructures. In fact, this paper is a continuation of the ideas presented by Davvaz in （Fuzzy Sets Syst., 117： 477- 484, 2001） and Bhakat and Das in （Fuzzy Sets Syst., 80： 359-368, 1996）. The concept of the quasicoincidence of a fuzzy interval value with an interval-valued fuzzy set is introduced and this is a natural generalization of the quasi-coincidence of a fuzzy point in fuzzy sets. By using this new idea, the concept of interval-valued （α,β）-fuzzy sub-hypermodules of a hypermodule is defined. This newly defined interval-valued （α,β）-fuzzy sub-hypermodule is a We shall study such fuzzy sub-hypermodules and sub-hypermodules of a hypermodule. generalization of the usual fuzzy sub-hypermodule. consider the implication-based interval-valued fuzzy     

Higher order Lipschitz classes of functions and absolutely convergent Fourier series

We introduce the higher order Lipschitz classes Λ _r (α) and λ _r (α) of periodic functions by means of the rth order difference operator, where r = 1, 2, ..., and 0 < α ≦ r. We study the smoothness property of a function f with absolutely convergent Fourier series and give best possible sufficient conditions in terms of its Fourier coefficients in order that f belongs to one of the above classes.

On δ-I- open sets and decomposition of α-I-continuity

We introduce the notions of δ-I- open sets and semi δ-I-continuous functions in ideal topological spaces and investigate some of their properties. Additionally, we obtain decompositions of semi-I-continuous functions and α-I-continuous functions by using δ-I-open sets. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Redefined fuzzy B-algebras

Characterizations and Extensions of Lipschitz-α Operators

In this work, we prove that a map F from a compact metric space K into a Banach space X over F is a Lipschitz-α operator if and only if for each σ in X^＊ the map σoF is a Lipschitz-α function on K. In the case that K = [a, b], we show that a map f from [a, b] into X is a Lipschitz-1 operator if and only if it is absolutely continuous and the map σ→ （σ o f）＇ is a bounded linear operator from X^＊ into L^∞（[a, b]）. When K is a compact subset of a finite interval （a, b） and 0 〈 α ≤ 1, we show that every Lipschitz-α operator f from K into X can be extended as a Lipschitz-α operator F from [a, b] into X with Lα（f） ≤ Lα（F） ≤ 3^1-α Lα（f）. A similar extension theorem for a little Lipschitz-α operator is also obtained.

Hyperspaces of nowhere topologically complete spaces

It is proved that ifX is a connected locally continuumwise connected coanalytic nowhere topologically complete space, then the hyperspace 2 ^X of all nonempty compact subsets ofX is strongly universal in the class of all coanalytic spaces. Moreover, 2 ^X is homeomorphic to Π₂ ifX is a Baire space, and toQ∖Π₁ ifX contains a dense absoluteG _δ-setG ⊂X such that the intersectionG ∩U is connected for any open connectedU ⊂X. (Here Π₁, Π₁⊂X are the standard subsets of the Hilbert cubeQ absorbing for the classes of analytic and coanalytic spaces, respectively.) Similar results are obtained for higher projective classes.

On the classes of hereditarily ℓp Banach spaces

Let X denote a specific space of the class of X _α,p Banach sequence spaces which were constructed by Hagler and the first named author as classes of hereditarily ℓ_p Banach spaces. We show that for p > 1 the Banach space X contains asymptotically isometric copies of ℓ_p. It is known that any member of the class is a dual space. We show that the predual of X contains isometric copies of ℓ_p where 1/p + 1/q = 1. For p = 1 it is known that the predual of the Banach space X contains asymptotically isometric copies of c ₀. Here we give a direct proof of the known result that X contains asymptotically isometric copies of ℓ₁.     

Practical Study on the Fuzzy Risk of Flood Disasters

The simplest way to perform a fuzzy risk assessment is to calculate the fuzzy expected value and convert fuzzy risk into non-fuzzy risk, i.e., a crisp value. In doing so, there is a transition from the fuzzy set to the crisp set. Therefore, the first step is to define an α level value, and then select the elements x with a subordinate degree A(x)≥α. The higher the value of α, the lower the degree of uncertainty—the probability is closer to its true value. The lower the value of α, the higher the degree of uncertainty—this results in a lower probability serviceability. The possibility level α is dependant on technical conditions and knowledge. A fuzzy expected value of the possibility-probability distribution is a set with and as its boundaries. The fuzzy expected values and of a possibility-probability distribution represent the fuzzy risk values being calculated. Therefore, we can obtain a conservative risk value, a venture risk value and a maximum probability risk value. Under such an α level, three risk values can be calculated. As α adopts all values throughout the set [0,1], it is possible to obtain a series of risk values. Therefore, the fuzzy risk may be a multi-valued risk or set-valued risk. Calculation of the fuzzy expected value of flood risk in the Jinhua River basin has been performed based on the interior-outer set model. Selection of an α value depends on the confidence in different groups of people, while selection of a conservative risk value or venture risk value depends on the risk preference of these people.     

Stochastic Integration of Operator-Valued Functions with Respect to Banach Space-Valued Brownian Motion

Let E be a real Banach space with property (α) and let W _Γ be an E-valued Brownian motion with distribution Γ. We show that a function is stochastically integrable with respect to W _Γ if and only if Γ-almost all orbits Ψx are stochastically integrable with respect to a real Brownian motion. This result is derived from an abstract result on existence of Γ-measurable linear extensions of γ-radonifying operators with values in spaces of γ-radonifying operators. As an application we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for solvability of stochastic evolution equations driven by an E-valued Brownian motion.

The isometric extension of the into mapping from the unit sphere S 1( E ) to S 1( l ∞(Γ))

This paper considers the isometric extension problem concerning the mapping from the unit sphere S ₁(E) of the normed space E into the unit sphere S ₁(l ^∞(Γ)). We find a condition under which an isometry from S ₁(E) into S ₁(l ^∞(Γ)) can be linearly and isometrically extended to the whole space. Since l ^∞(Γ) is universal with respect to isometry for normed spaces, isometric extension problems on a class of normed spaces are solved. More precisely, if E and F are two normed spaces, and if V ₀: S ₁(E) → S ₁(F) is a surjective isometry, where c ₀₀(Γ) ⊆ F ⊆ l ^∞(Γ), then V ₀ can be extended to be an isometric operator defined on the whole space.

Localization properties of highly singular generalized functions

We study the localization properties of generalized functions defined on a broad class of spaces of entire analytic test functions. This class, which includes all Gelfand-Shilov spaces S _α ^β (R ^k ) with β < 1, provides a convenient language for describing quantum fields with a highly singular infrared behavior. We show that the carrier cone notion, which replaces the support notion, can be correctly defined for the considered analytic functionals. In particular, we prove that each functional has a uniquely determined minimal carrier cone. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 151, No. 2, pp. 179–194, May, 2007.
