This book provides a complete framework for the fundamental concepts and results of texture spaces and its applications. The principal aim is to present a comprehensive arguments due to connections among the textures, fuzzy sets and rough sets. In this context, direlations, fuzzy direlations and fuzzy relations constitute a bridge for the remarkable observations on rough set theory. In a more general setting, the approximation operators are also inspected for fuzzy rough set models with two domains of discourse.  

As a new interpretable model, three-way decision has also received academic attention in machine learning. With respect to different hesitant fuzzy information, this book deeply discusses the deduction process of decision rules of three-way decision and generates interpretable knowledge with the risk semantics. It further explores the applications of three-way decision to support healthcare management. This book is used as a reference for engineers, technicians, and researchers who are working in the fields of management science, operation management, computer science, information...

This book is considered as a monograph but also as a potential textbook for graduate students, focusing on the application of FCMs for modelling and analysing the behaviour of multicomponent systems. In the last two decades, no monograph or textbook has been published on the topic Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM), so this new book is definitely filling a gap in the literature of computational intelligence.

The book is built up didactically, the novel results in the field being presented in the way of starting with two real-life case studies, one in the area of waste management, while the...

This book introduces a state-of-the-art extension of fuzzy sets that is hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets with granularity levels, and based on the fuzzy technique, several granularities-driven hesitant fuzzy linguistic decision-making methods are introduced to provide powerful tools to solve actual problems. Motivated from the idea of granular computing, the technique of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets with granularity levels is constructed, which not only brings flexibility and individuality for the linguistic model, but also provides a possibility to process a large amount of...

This book  is an in-depth study of the application of Linguistic Z numbers in various domains. It is divided into 18 chapters, each focusing on different aspects and applications of Linguistic Z numbers. The first chapter introduces the concept of a Linguistic Z number fuzzy probabilistic rough set and their corresponding three-way decisions. The second chapter discusses the TOPSIS-based multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) under Linguistic Z number information. The third chapter presents a new approach of multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM): MARCOS-based alternatives...
