Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue aims to cumulate novel advancements in the field of fuzzy sets and related metric spaces. The concept of fuzzy set theory was originally introduced by Zadeh (1965) and it has been developed by a huge circle of researchers over the last two decades. This theory has turned out to be one of the most efficient decision aid techniques providing the ability to deal with uncertainty and vagueness. Till today, several papers are published in prominent journals along with various fuzzy set applications in the fields of mathematics, decision making, information technology, automatic control and artificial intelligence and much more because of its flexibility and tolerance in dealing with imprecise data.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to further investigate modern trends of fuzzy metric spaces in new frontiers that promote a comprehensive and state-of-the-art understanding of fuzzy metric theory-based extensions and relevant applications.

Involving w-distances and hybrid contractions that combine conditions of the Ćirić type and Samet et al. type, we obtain some general fixed-point results for quasi-metric spaces from which powerful and significant fixed-point theorems on partial metric spaces are deduced as special cases. We present examples showing that our results are real generalizations of those corresponding to the partial metric case and we give an application to the study of recursive equations where the usual Baire partial metric on a domain of words is replaced with a suitable w-distance. Our approach is inspired on the nice fact, stated by Matthews, that every partial metric induces a weighted quasi-metric. Then, we define the notion of a strong w-distance and deduce that every partial metric is a symmetric strong w-distance for its induced weighted quasi-metric space. Full article

The family F(U) of all fuzzy sets in a normed space cannot be a vector space. This deficiency affects its application to practical problems. The topics of functional analysis and nonlinear analysis in mathematics are based on vector spaces. Since these two topics have been well developed such that their tools can be used to solve practical economics and engineering problems, lacking a vector structure for the family F(U) diminishes its applications to these kinds of practical problems when fuzzy uncertainty has been detected in a real environment. Embedding the whole family F(U) into a Banach space is still not possible. However, it is possible to embed some interesting and important subfamilies of F(U) into some suitable Banach spaces. This paper presents the concrete and detailed structures of these kinds of Banach spaces such that their mathematical structures can penetrate the core of practical economics and engineering problems in fuzzy environments. The important issue of uniqueness for these Banach spaces is also addressed via the concept of isometry. Full article

Regression, a supervised machine learning approach, establishes relationships between independent variables and a continuous dependent variable. It is widely applied in areas like price prediction and time series forecasting. The performance of regression models is typically assessed using error metrics such as the Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). However, these metrics present challenges including sensitivity to outliers (notably MSE and RMSE) and scale dependency, which complicates comparisons across different models. Additionally, traditional metrics sometimes yield values that are difficult to interpret across various problems. Consequently, there is a need for a metric that consistently reflects regression model performance, independent of the problem domain, data scale, and outlier presence. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper introduces a new regression accuracy measure based on the Hassanat distance, a non-convex distance metric. This measure is not only invariant to outliers but also easy to interpret as it provides an accuracy-like value that ranges from 0 to 1 (or 0–100%). We validate the proposed metric against traditional measures across multiple benchmarks, demonstrating its robustness under various model scenarios and data types. Hence, we suggest it as a new standard for assessing regression models’ accuracy. Full article

This study presents new fuzzy adaptations of Ostrowski’s integral inequalities through a novel class of convex fuzzy-valued mappings defined over a harmonic convex set, avoiding the use of the Sugeno integral. These innovative inequalities generalize the recently developed interval forms of real-valued Ostrowski inequalities. Their formulations incorporate integrability concepts for fuzzy-valued mappings (FVMs), applying the Kaleva integral and a Kulisch–Miranker fuzzy order relation. The fuzzy order relation is constructed via a level-wise approach based on the Kulisch–Miranker order within the fuzzy number space. Additionally, numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness and significance of the proposed theoretical model. Various applications are explored using different means, and some complex cases are derived. Full article

The study of fuzzy geometry and its different components has grown in recent years, establishing the formal foundations for its development. This paper is devoted to addressing some metric relations in the fuzzy right triangle; in particular, a version of the Pythagorean theorem and geometric mean theorem are provided in analytical fuzzy geometry. The main results show, under certain conditions of the fuzzy vertices, a subset relation between the fuzzy distances associated with the fuzzy right triangle, which is very similar to the classical statements of the Pythagorean theorem and the geometric mean in Euclidean geometry.

The objective of this paper is to describe the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy metric-like spaces. This space is an extension of metric-like spaces and fuzzy metric spaces, and intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces. We discuss convergence sequences, contractive mapping and some fixed-point theorems in intuitionistic fuzzy metric-like space. We also give explanations, examples and counterexamples to validate the superiority of these results. Our results provide a substantial extension of several important results from fuzzy metric-like spaces. Full article

In the current contribution, an appropriate quantity connected to the space of all convergent sequences is provided and shown to be a measure of noncompactness in a Banach space. Through the application of the fixed point theorems of Darbo and Meir–Keeler, this amount is used to discuss whether a solution to an infinite system of fractional Sturm–Liouville operators exists. We offer a numerical example as an application of the key finding in the study. Full article
