Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The present Special Issue of the journal Axioms is dedicated to exploring recent advances in the field of fuzzy systems, fuzzy decision making, and fuzzy mathematics. Fuzzy systems have emerged as a powerful framework for modeling and handling uncertainty in various domains, ranging from engineering to artificial intelligence and economics. This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative research addressing both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of fuzzy systems and their related areas.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Development of advanced algorithms and methods in fuzzy systems.
  2. Aggregation operators.
  3. Fuzzy mathematical modeling for real-world problem solving.
  4. Fuzzy decision-making techniques and their application in diverse contexts
  5. Fuzzy set theory.

Researchers are invited to contribute original articles addressing these topics from either a theoretical or applied perspective. Particularly encouraged are submissions that explore new directions in the field and promote the advancement of knowledge in fuzzy systems and related disciplines.

We hope that this Special Issue will provide a valuable platform for the exchange of ideas and the advancement of the state of the art in the field of fuzzy systems, fuzzy decision making, and fuzzy mathematics.

As new kinds of aggregation functions, overlap functions and semi overlap functions are widely applied to information fusion, approximation reasoning, data classification, decision science, etc. This paper extends the semi-overlap function on [0, 1] to the function on complete lattices and investigates the residual implication derived from it; then it explores the construction of a semi-overlap function on complete lattices and some fundamental properties. Especially, this paper introduces a more generalized concept of the ‘semi-Θ-Ξ function’, which innovatively unifies the semi-overlap function and semi-grouping function. Additionally, it provides methods for constructing and characterizing the semi-Θ-Ξ function. Furthermore, this paper characterizes the semi-overlap function on complete lattices and the semi-Θ-Ξ function on [0, 1] from an algebraic point of view and proves that the algebraic structures corresponding to the inflationary semi-overlap function, the inflationary semi-Θ-Ξ function, and residual implications derived by each of them are inflationary MTL algebras. This paper further discusses the properties of inflationary MTL algebra and its relationship with non-associative MTL algebra, and it explores the connections between some related algebraic structures.

In the realm of management decision-making, the selection of green suppliers has long been a complex issue. Companies must take a holistic approach, evaluating potential suppliers based on their capabilities, economic viability, and environmental impact. The decision-making process, fraught with intricacies and uncertainties, urgently demands the development of a scientifically sound and efficient method for guidance. Since the concept of Fermatean fuzzy sets (FFSs) was proposed, it has been proved to be an effective tool for solving multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems in complicated realistic situations. And the Power Bonferroni mean (PBM) operator, combining the strengths of the power average (PA) and Bonferroni mean (BM), excels in considering attribute interactions for a thorough evaluation. To ensure a comprehensive and sufficient evaluation framework for supplier selection, this paper introduces innovative aggregation operators that extend the PBM and integrate probabilistic information into Fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets (FHFSs) and Fermatean probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets (FPHFSs). It successively proposes the Fermatean hesitant fuzzy power Bonferroni mean (FHFPBM), Fermatean hesitant fuzzy weighted power Bonferroni mean (FHFWPBM), and Fermatean hesitant fuzzy probabilistic weighted power Bonferroni mean (FHFPWPBM) operators, examining their key properties like idempotency, boundedness, and permutation invariance. By further integrating PBM with probabilistic information into FPHFSs, three new Fermatean probabilistic hesitant fuzzy power Bonferroni aggregation operators are developed: the Fermatean probabilistic hesitant fuzzy power Bonferroni mean (FPHFPBM), Fermatean probabilistic hesitant fuzzy weighted power Bonferroni mean (FPHFWPBM), and Fermatean probabilistic hesitant fuzzy probabilistic weighted power Bonferroni mean (FPHFPWPBM). Subsequently, a MADM method based on these operators is constructed. Finally, a numerical example concerning the selection of green suppliers is presented to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of this method using the FPHFPWPBM operator. Full article
