Interval-valued fuzzy sets constitute an extension of fuzzy sets which give an interval approximating the "real" (but unknown) membership degree. Interval-valued fuzzy sets are equivalent to intuitionistic fuzzy sets in the sense of Atanassov which give both a membership degree and a non-membership degree, whose sum must be smaller than or equal to 1. Both are equivalent to L-fuzzy sets w.r.t. a special lattice L*. In fuzzy set theory, an important class of triangular norms is the class of those that satisfy the residuation principle. In a previous paper5 we gave a construction for t-norms on L* satisfying the residuation principle which are not t-representable. In this paper we investigate the Smets-Magrez axioms and some other properties for the residual implicator generated by such t-norms.

Interval-valued fuzzy sets form an extension of fuzzy sets which assign to each element of the universe a closed subinterval of the unit interval. This interval approximates the "real", but unknown, membership degree. In fuzzy set theory, an important class of triangular norms is the class of those that satisfy the residuation principle. A method for constructing t-norms that satisfy the residuation principle is by using the ordinal sum theorem. In this paper, we construct the ordinal sum of t-norms on [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the underlying lattice of interval-valued fuzzy set theory, in such a way that if the summands satisfy the residuation principle, then the ordinal sum does too.

The uncertain and sometimes vague, imprecise nature of medical documentation and information make the field of medical diagnosis is the most important and interesting area for applications of fuzzy set theory (FST), intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and interval valued fuzzy set (IVFS). In this present study, first resemblance between IFS and IVFS has been established along with reviewed some existing distance measures for IFSs. Later, an attempt has been made to derive distance measures for IVFSs from IFSs and establish some properties on distance measures of IVFSs. Finally, medical diagnosis has been carried out and exhibits the techniques with a case study under this setting.

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets constitute an extension of fuzzy sets: while fuzzy sets give a degree to which an element belongs to a set, intuitionistic fuzzy sets give both a membership degree and a non-membership degree. The only constraint on those two degrees is that the sum must be smaller than or equal to 1. In fuzzy set theory, an important class of triangular norms is the class of those that satisfy the residuation principle. In the fuzzy case a t-norm satisfies the residuation principle if and only if it is left-continuous. Deschrijver, Cornelis and Kerre proved that for intuitionistic fuzzy t-norms the equivalence between the residuation principle and intuitionistic fuzzy left-continuity only holds for t-representable t-norms.1 In this paper we construct particular subclasses of intuitionistic fuzzy t-norms that satisfy the residuation principle but that are not t-representable and we show that a continuous intuitionistic fuzzy t-norm [Formula: see text] satisfying the residuation principle is t-representable if and only if [Formula: see text].

Interval-valued fuzzy set theory is an increasingly popular extension of fuzzy set theory where traditional [0,1]-valued membership degrees are replaced by intervals in [0,1] that approximate the (unknown) membership degrees. To construct suitable graded logical connectives in this extended setting, it is both natural and appropriate to "reuse" ingredients from classical fuzzy set theory. In this paper, we compare different ways of representing operations on interval-valued fuzzy sets by corresponding operations on fuzzy sets, study their intuitive semantics, and relate them to an existing, purely order-theoretical approach. Our approach reveals, amongst others, that subtle differences in the representation method can have a major impact on the properties satisfied by the generated operations, and that contrary to popular perception, interval-valued fuzzy set theory hardly corresponds to a mere twofold application of fuzzy set theory. In this way, by making the mathematical machinery behind the interval-valued fuzzy set model fully transparent, we aim to foster new avenues for its exploitation by offering application developers a much more powerful and elaborate mathematical toolbox than existed before.
