This paper offers the idea of (anti) (m, n)-fuzzy BL-subalgebras as a novel extension of classical BL-algebras within the fuzzy mathematical framework. The proposed structures generalize various types of fuzzy subalgebras, including (anti) intuitionistic, (anti) Pythagorean, (anti) Fermatean, and (anti) q-rung orthopair fuzzy BL-subalgebras for q >= 1. Fundamental algebraic properties and equivalent characterizations of (m,n)-fuzzy BL-subalgebras are established through the notion of value-cuts. Furthermore, the concept of power-implication preserving (PIP) BL-algebras is introduced, and it is shown that a PIP BL-algebra exists for every prime number. Several closure properties of (m,n)-fuzzy BL-subalgebras under combination operations are also derived within this framework. From an applied perspective, the developed theoretical results can serve as a mathematical foundation for modeling and reasoning in fuzzy control systems and optimization processes, particularly in decision-making environments characterized by uncertainty and graded information.

This paper addresses multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) where linguistic assessments are represented by both positive and negative interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FNs), capturing the intrinsic uncertainty of group evaluations more accurately. We introduce a novel ranking method for IT2FNs that simultaneously utilizes the mean and standard deviation of the upper and lower membership functions, as well as the IT2FN's height. This enhances its discriminatory capability. The theoretical foundations of this ranking— encompassing zero, unity, and symmetry properties— are rigorously established, and its superiority over existing techniques is demonstrated through comparative analyses on seven benchmark datasets. Building on this ranking, we develop an integrated fuzzy MAGDM framework that can handle both positive and negative IT2FN assessments for criteria and weights. The framework’s practicality and effectiveness are validated through two case studies: one with exclusively positive linguistic terms and another with mixed positive and negative scales. Results indicate that the proposed ranking and decision framework yield more rational and robust group decisions under substantial uncertainty. They outperform conventional fuzzy methods and offer a nuanced solution for real-world MAGDM scenarios.

Addressing complex decision-making scenarios, particularly those involving multiple criteria and expert perspectives, often requires robust frameworks capable of managing uncertainty and qualitative assessments. The Qualitative Absolute Order-of-Magnitude (QAOM) model offers a flexible approach for expressing subjective evaluations through linguistic terms with adjustable levels of detail. However, practical challenges remain in applying QAOM, including the absence of an inherent system for deriving attribute weights, limitations in coherently synthesizing the judgments from multiple experts, and the lack of systematic normalization procedures for negatively oriented attributes. To address these issues, this paper proposes an advanced multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) framework fully embedded within the QAOM paradigm. The proposed solution introduces a mathematically consistent metric for comparing linguistic assessments, an entropy-based attribute weighting approach rooted in qualitative information, and an aggregation process that reflects expert diversity. Furthermore, a specialized normalization protocol is developed to handle negative attributes across heterogeneous scales. The feasibility and advantages of the method are validated through comprehensive examples and comparative analyses, highlighting improvements over traditional techniques in terms of objectivity, flexibility, and analytical depth. Overall, these developments markedly enhance the capabilities of QAOM-based MAGDM, equipping decision-makers with more nuanced and reliable tools for tackling complex problems characterized by imprecision and divergent expert opinions.

This paper introduces a variable step size strategy for a stochastic time-delays Lotka-Volterra competition system. This adaptive strategy utilizes the Milstein method for numerical solutions. It employs two local error estimates, corresponding to the diffusion and drift components of the model, to select and control the step sizes. The algorithm is described in detail, and numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The primary objective of this research is to propose a dynamic strategy for generating and controlling the step sizes in the finite difference algorithm employed. This adaptive approach accelerates the numerical procedure and improves efficiency compared to a constant-size scheme. As an analytical solution for the model is unavailable, a numerical estimation with a small fixed step size is considered a reference solution. The numerical results demonstrate the superior accuracy of the proposed strategy compared to a reference solution.

The field of optimization and machine learning are increasingly interplayed and optimization in different problems leads to the use of machine learning approaches. Machine learning algorithms work in reasonable computational time for specific classes of problems and have important role in extracting knowledge from large amount of data. In this paper, a methodology has been employed to optimize the precision of defect detection of concrete slabs depending on their qualitative evaluation. Based on this idea, some machine learning algorithms such as C4.5 decision tree, RIPPER rule learning method and Bayesian network have been studied to explore the defect of concrete and to supply a decision system to speed up the defect detection process. The results from the examinations show that the proposed RIPPER rule learning algorithm in combination with Fourier Transform feature extraction method could get a defect detection rate of 93% as compared to other machine learning algorithms.
