Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fuzzy logic, initiated in 1965 by L.A. Zadeh, serves now as the basis for a broad field of modern science that can be unified as the theory and applications of fuzzy mathematical structures. In turn, now, more than 55 years after Zadeh's pioneering paper, fuzzy logic has evolved into a deep field of mathematics that has numerous applications in both theoretical mathematics and other fields of science. This Special Issue is dedicated to the 70th birthday and approximate 45th anniversary of the research activity in this field of the outstanding scientist Prof. Vilém Novák, whose contribution to fuzzy logic, both in the narrow and broad sense, is fundamental. The Guest Editors of this issue invite high-quality papers on fuzzy logic, both theoretical and applied, as well as papers on the various fields of fuzzy mathematical structures, where ideas, methods, and results of fuzzy logic are manifested.

The homogeneity of binary functions on the unit interval [0, 1] is a very useful property in many real practical applications. This paper studies the homogeneity of binary functions on the unit circle of the complex plane. The homogeneity is a generalization of both rotational invariance and ratio scale invariance for complex fuzzy operations. We show that a binary function is homogeneous if and only if it is both rotationally invariant and ratio scale invariant. Moreover, we consider the simplification of the homogeneity for complex fuzzy binary operators. Full article

This paper is centered around the creation of new fuzzy connectives using automorphism functions. The fuzzy connectives theory has been implemented in many problems and fields. In particular, the N-negations, t-norms, S-conorms and I-implications concepts played crucial roles in forming the theory and applications of the fuzzy sets. Thus far, there are multiple strategies for producing fuzzy connectives. The purpose of this paper is to provide a new strategy that is more flexible and fast in comparison with the rest. In order to create this method, automorphism and additive generator functions were utilized. The general formulas created with this method can provide new fuzzy connectives. The main conclusion is that new fuzzy connectives can be created faster and with more flexibility with our strategy. Full article

We first establish rough approximations via Sasaki implication and show the equivalence between distributivity of multiplication over join and some properties of rough approximations.

This paper introduces some new concepts of rough approximations via five quantum implications satisfying Birkhoff–von Neumann condition. We first establish rough approximations via Sasaki implication and show the equivalence between distributivity of multiplication over join and some properties of rough approximations. We further establish rough approximations via other four quantum implication and examine their properties. Full article

Characterization of Transitivity in L-Tolerance Spaces by Convergence and Closure
by Gunther Jäger and T. M. G. Ahsanullah

Abstract
We show that the category of quantale-valued tolerance spaces is isomorphic to a category of quantale-valued convergence spaces. We define suitable quantale-valued closure functions and use them to characterize transitivity axioms. Furthermore, transitivity is characterized by convergence and diagonal axioms. Quantale-valued tolerance relations [...] Read more.
We show that the category of quantale-valued tolerance spaces is isomorphic to a category of quantale-valued convergence spaces. We define suitable quantale-valued closure functions and use them to characterize transitivity axioms. Furthermore, transitivity is characterized by convergence and diagonal axioms. Quantale-valued tolerance relations compatible with group structures are also characterized by convergence and it is shown that they are transitive. Full article
