Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The scope of the issue is decision-making in A broader sense. This covers constructing and studying algebraic and analytical properties of fuzzy connectives (fuzzy implications, uninorms, OWA operators), studying aggregation functions applicable in decision-making problems, and integrals with respect to capacities. The issue aims to show progress in decision-making theory and also some applications of this theory.

Uninorms, OWA operators, and also various types of integrals with respect to capacities are presently a research area that attracts the interest of many researchers. Within the last 5 years, there have been more than 100 papers published on uninorms, about 500 papers on Choquet integral, and so on.

Potential authors are encouraged to submit their recent results as well as relevant reviews. All papers will be peer-reviewed.

Prof. Dr. Martin Kalina

The index matrix (IM) is an extension of the ordinary matrix with indexed rows and columns. Over IMs’ standard matrix operations are defined and a lot of other ones that do not exist in the standard case. Intuitionistic fuzzy IMs (IFIMs) are modification of the IMs, when their elements are intuitionistic fuzzy pairs (IFPs). Extended IFIMs are IFIMs whose indices of the rows and columns are evaluated by IFPs. Different operations, relations and operators over IFIMs, and some specific ones, are defined for EIFIMs. In the paper, twelve new level operators are defined for EIFIMs and in the partial case, over IFIMs. The proposed level operators fall into two groups: operators that change the values of the EIFIM elements and operators that change the IFPs associated to the indices of the rows and columns. The basic properties of the operators are studied. Full article

The study of orders is a constantly evolving topic, not only for its interest from a theoretical point of view, but also for its possible applications. Recently, one of the hot lines of research has been the construction of admissible orders in different frameworks. Following this direction, this paper presents a new representation theorem in the field of discrete fuzzy numbers that enables the construction of two families of admissible orders in the set of discrete fuzzy numbers whose support is a closed interval of a finite chain, leading to the first admissible orders introduced in this framework.
