In this manuscript, we delve into the exploration of strict fuzzy betweenness relations from two aspects. First of all, in light of one of the most important examples of strict betweenness relations from strict order relations, we extend this paradigm to the fuzzy case. Specially, with respect to a t-norm ⁎ and a fuzzy equivalence relation <em>E</em>, we construct a strict ⁎-<em>E</em>-betweenness relation from a strict ⁎-<em>E</em>-order relation. Secondly, by establishing a one-to-one correspondence between strict betweenness relations and betweenness relations, we investigate whether this elegant result persists within the many-valued setting. Toward this end, we present the construction of a strict fuzzy betweenness relation from a fuzzy betweenness relation and vice versa, scrutinizing the conditions under which these constructions are inverse to each other. The conclusion turns out that the correspondence in the fuzzy context exhibits distinct differences from the crisp one, primarily due to the inherent complexity of fuzzy logic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":"501 ","pages":"Article 109218"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142743982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, by leveraging the input-state data collected from each local subsystem, a data-based system representation of unknown T-S fuzzy system is established and a pure data-based stability criterion in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is obtained to guarantee that the T-S fuzzy system with unknown system matrices is locally stabilized. Meanwhile, a joint design algorithm for the data-driven fuzzy controllers and the ETM is accomplished. Compared with the other data-driven control methods, the proposed method has the advantages of simplicity and flexibility for some control problems whose stability results satisfy a certain LMI form. At last, the effectiveness of the model-based and data-based results is verified through a numerical example, and the influence of some key factors, such as the number of samples and the noise on control performance is investigated by estimating the inner-approximation of the basin of attraction (BoA) and the outer-approximation of the attractor.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":"501 ","pages":"Article 109204"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142720779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To alleviate data collision, a multi-node round-robin protocol (RRP) is adopted to decide the communication sequences between the sensors and controller. With the help of multi-node RRP, only partial sensor nodes have the priority to access the network channels at each instant. Meanwhile, a Bernoulli packet dropout model is used to further analyze the occurrence of packet dropouts during data transmission. This article's main research results and contributions consist of two parts: (1) Firstly, by combining multi-node RRP, Bernoulli packet loss model and mismatched membership functions, an IT2 fuzzy controller dependent on scheduling state information is designed, under which the control performance of the system can be effectively enhanced.

The eOGS online learning algorithm reveals information granules in the flow and design the structure and parameters of a granular rule-based model with a certain degree of interpretability based on acoustic attributes obtained from phone calls made over 7 months to the Psychiatry department of a hospital. A multi-objective programming problem that trades-off information specificity, model compactness, and numerical and granular error indices is presented. Spectral and prosodic attributes are ranked and selected based on a hybrid Pearson-Spearman correlation coefficient. Low attribute-class correlation, ranging from 0.03 to 0.07, is observed, as well as high class overlap, which is typical in the psychiatric field. eOGS models for BD recognition overcome alternative computational-intelligence models, namely, Dynamic Evolving Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (DENFIS) and Fuzzy-set-Based evolving Modeling (FBeM-Gauss), by a small margin in both best and average cases; followed by eXtended Takagi-Sugeno (xTS) and evolving Takagi Sugeno (eTS) types of models.

The increased focus on fairness and efficiency not only complicates the consensus-building process among diverse interests and perspectives, but also significantly adds to the complexity of decision-making and its implementation. In this context, balancing the interests of all parties while ensuring fairness and improving decision-making effectiveness becomes crucial. To address these challenges, this study develops a multi-objective optimization consensus framework for large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM) that integrates the interests of decision-makers (DMs) and a moderator, providing a more comprehensive tool. Specifically, this study first designs a DM weight determination method based on structural hole theory within fuzzy social networks. The proposed DM weight determination method effectively leverages the flexibility of fuzzy social networks and the comprehensiveness of structural hole theory to enhance the accuracy and reliability of weight assignment. Building on this, a novel clustering method based on the maximum group consensus level is developed, taking into account the varying importance of different DMs. Furthermore, a minimum cost and maximum fairness-driven multi-objective optimization LSGDM consensus model, referred to as MCMF-MO-LSGDM, is explored in this study.
