The diameter of a fuzzy set

In pattern recognition one often wants to measure geometric properties of imprecisely defined subsets of an image. This paper proposes definitions of intrinsic and extrinsic diameter for fuzzy subsets which reduce to the ordinary definitions when the subsets are crisp. We also define height and width for a fuzzy subset and show how they relate to the area (i.e., integral of membership). For convex fuzzy subsets the intrinsic diameter cannot exceed the extrinsic diameter, but it can be smaller. Finally, for piecewise constant convex fuzzy subsets the intrinsic diameter cannot exceed half the fuzzy perimeter, but this need not be true in the nonconvex case.     

A bump triangular dynamic factorization algorithm for the simplex method

A dynamic factorization algorithm is developed which algebraically partitions the basis inverse in such a manner so that the simplex method can be executed from a series of small inverses and the basis itself. This partition is maintained dynamically so that the additional memory required to represent the basis inverse reduces to this series of small inverses for in-core implementations.The algorithm is intended for use in solving general large-scale linear programming problems. This new method of basis representation should permit rather large problems to be solved completely in-core.Preliminary computational experience is presented and comparisons are made with Reid's sparsity-exploiting variant of the Bartels—Golub decomposition for linear programming bases. The computational experience indicated that a significant reduction in memory requirements can usually be obtained using the dynamic factorization approach with only a slight (up to about 20%) degradation of execution time.This research was supported in part by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Air Force System Command, USAF, under AFOSR Contract/Grant Number AFOSR-74-2715.     

The systems approach and fuzzy set theory bridging the gap between mathematical and language-oriented economists

Ideas are presented to show how fuzzy mathematics can be applied in macro-economics in combination with the systems approach in order to bridge the gap between mathematical and language-oriented economists.Two reasons are given.From a mathematical point of view, fuzzy sets, fuzzy relations and fuzzy logic are not fuzzy at all. They are all well defined, but tend to be more complicated than traditional, mathematical concepts used in economics.From a language-oriented economist's point of view, fuzzy sets, etc. are used to express mathematically the type of concepts which are typical in language and most valuable in dealing with complex systems like an economy.The paper deals with economics in general terms, but examples are provided to illustrate the ideas.     

The personalization of security selection: An application of fuzzy set theory

We apply the theory of fuzzy subsets to the multiple objective decision problem of stock selection. We allow our objectives to have varying degrees of importance. We discuss various criteria used in selecting stocks. We indicate some procedures for subjectively evaluating the membership functions associated with these criteria.     

Integral decomposition in polyhedra

We say that a polyhedronP satisfies weak integral decomposition if whenever an integral vector is the sum ofk vectors inP it is also the sum ofk integral vectors inP. This property is related to rounding results for packing and covering problems. We study the property and two related properties, and give results concerning integral polymatroids, totally unimodular matrices and network flows, pairs of strongly-base-orderable matroids, and branchings in directed graphs.     

Fuzzy dynamical systems

A fuzzy dynamical system on an underlying complete, locally compact metric state space X is defined axiomatically in terms of a fuzzy attainability set mapping on X. This definition includes as special cases crisp single and multivalued dynamical systems on X. It is shown that the support of such a fuzzy dynamical system on X is a crisp multivalued dynamical system on X, and that such a fuzzy dynamical system can be considered as a crisp dynamical system on a state space of nonempty compact fuzzy subsets of X. In addition fuzzy trajectories are defined, their existence established and various properties investigated.     

Non-dual fuzzy connections

The lack of double negation and de Morgan properties makes fuzzy logic unsymmetrical. This is the reason why fuzzy versions of notions like closure operator or Galois connection deserve attention for both antiotone and isotone cases, these two cases not being dual. This paper offers them attention, comming to the following conclusions: – some kind of hardly describable local preduality still makes possible important parallel results; – interesting new concepts besides antitone and isotone ones (like, for instance, conjugated pair), that were classically reducible to the first, gain independency in fuzzy setting.
