On the Construction of Free Fuzzy Groups
Yasushi Suzuki
The Graduate School of Mathematics Joetu University of Education, Japan
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the fuzzy normal subgroup generated by a given fuzzy subset, fuzzy functions, homomorphisms (isomorphisms) of fuzzy groups and quotients of fuzzy groups by a relation with the idea of level subgroups. Also, we discuss the properties of isomorphisms of fuzzy groups and finally construct the free fuzzy groups which consist of fuzzy subgroups generated by given fuzzy subsets and an epimorphism of fuzzy groups.
Keywords and phrases: Fuzzy subgroup (fuzzy normal subgroup) generated by a fuzzy set, fuzzy function, homomorphism (epimorphism, isomorphism) of fuzzy groups, t-level left (right) coset of a fuzzy subgroup, t-level left fuzzy (right) coset of a fuzzy subgroup, t-level quotient group, generating fuzzy subset, free fuzzy group, free fuzzy basis.
On the Supercomposition of Subcontinuous and Fuzzy Subcontinuous Mappings and Relate Topics
B.De Baets and E.Kerre
Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science University of Gent, Krijgslaan 281-S9, 9000 Gent, Belgium
Abstract: Inspired by the new compositions of relations introduced by Bandler and Kohout, new images of a set under a relation and new images of a fuzzy set under a fuzzy relation are presented here. For functional relations, the images under the converse relation, in particular the subinverse image, suggest the introduction of a new type of continuity, subcontinuity, and a new type of fuzzy continuity, fuzzy subcontinuity. The main results of this paper are the composition laws, such as: ¡°The supercomposition of (fuzzy) subcontinuous mappings is again (fuzzy) subcontinuous¡±.s
Keywords and phrases: Subdirect image, supercomposition, subcontinuity, fuzzy subcontinuity.
Unfuzzy Non-dominated Elements for Fuzzy Interval-valued Preferences
Michael Wagenknecht

Abstract: Fuzzy preference relations are a good tool to express the decision-maker¡¯s imaginations about ordering of elements. However, frequently it may happen for lack of more detailed information that the preferences are available not as numbers from [0,1], but rather as intervals. Hence we are faced with interval-valued fuzzy relations (IVFR). Therefore we introduce strong IVFR under Archimedian t-norms and generalizes the notion of non-dominated elements given by Orlovsky. Within this framework, the (crisp) set of unfuzzy non-dominated objects has drawn attention, because of its practical and theoretical importance. It turns out that for IVFR we have at least two reasonable extensions of .
Keywords and phrases: Interval-valued fuzzy preferences, Archimedian t-norms, non-dominated elements.

Hu Cheng-ming
International Fuzzy Mathematics Institute, U.S.A.
Abstract: In paper [1], [2], the author introduced the notion of F-mapping by means of an order preserving correspondence between fuzzy points [3]. This kind of complete pointwise mappings not only extends the well know notions of fuzzy mappings but also brings some deep results. It exhibits enough the features of pointwise theory of fuzzy topology. In this paper, we will discuss the F-mappings in the -structure of FTS.

Fuzzy Programming Approach to Chance Constrained Multi-objective Transportation Problem
A.K.Bit M.P.Biswal and S.S.Alam
Department of Mathematics, India Institute of Technology, India.
Abstract: A method for solving a chance constrained multiobjective transportation problem has been suggested. After converting the proposed chance constrained model to a deterministic model, fuzzy programming technique is used to find the solution. Assuming the demand and availability are normal random variable the methodology has been presented. In some cases assuming the demand as log-normal or uniform random variable, methodology also has been presented. Lastly, a chance constrained multiobjective solid transportation model is presented. The method leads to efficient solutions as well as an optimal compromise solution. For this method a Fortran software has been developed on Cybel 180/840A System. Numerical examples are added to illustrate the methodology.
Keywords and phrases: Chance constrained programming, fuzzy programming, multicriteria decision making, classical transportation problem, solid transportation problem.

Estimation of Expected Values from Probabilities of Fuzzy Events
Stefan Chanas and Bronislaw Florkiewicz
Institute of Industrial Engineering and Management, Institute of Mathematics Technical University of Wroclaw, Poland.
Abstract: Problems of an approximate estimation of the expected valued of a random variable on the basis of an incomplete and imprecise information about its probability distribution have been analyzed. It has been assumed that the probability distribution of the random variable belongs to a class of distributions fixed in advance and that the probability of a certain event connected with the random variable is know. The events as well as theirs probabilities are given in the form of fuzzy sets in respective spaces. It has been examined in which way the properties of fuzzy expected valued of the random variable depend on those of the class of probability distributions and those of fuzzy sets defining the evevt and the probability.
Keywords and phrases: Approximate reasoning; fuzzy event; expected value.
