Special session on Fuzzy Numbers and Applications

Gijón, June 30-July 3, 2015

About the session

It is well known that fuzzy set theory allows for modeling and handling imprecise information in an effective way.  Since its introduction by Zadeh in 1965, a large number of scientific papers related to both theoretical and applied problems have been presented, showing its important role in many practical applications. Fuzzy numbers consist in a special type of fuzzy sets that are able to handle uncertain/vague numerical information, allowing for many applications focusing numerical values. On the other hand, many extensions to this concept have been also introduced. For example, interval fuzzy numbers   allow to deal not only with numerical vagueness (lack of sharp class boundaries), but also with numerical uncertainty (lack of information) (cf. Lodwick, 2004). Some other extensions have also been discussed in the literature, e.g., hesitant fuzzy numbers and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The theoretical research on fuzzy numbers and related concepts (e.g., ordering and ranking fuzzy numbers, fuzzy-valued functions, approximations and representations of fuzzy numbers, representation of fuzzy-valued probabilities, fuzzy arithmetic) are crucial for the development of the various applications in many fields, as those related to data science, decision-making, image processing and classification.

The goal of this invited session is to bring together researchers interested in recent advances in the theory of fuzzy numbers and applications handling fuzzy numbers.
