Constrained shadowed sets and fast optimization algorithm

Abstract

Shadowed sets provide a meaningful description of information granules by abstracting the corresponding fuzzy sets into three categories: full acceptance, full rejection, and uncertain (represented by shadows). One of the main motivating points to derive shadowed sets from fuzzy sets is the determination and explanation of the separation thresholds based on a specific optimization mechanism. The available optimization objective functions are mainly discussed on semantic interpretations and their mathematical properties; constructive algorithms for optimal solutions have rarely been reported. In this paper, the continuous and convex properties of Pedrycz's optimization objective function to construct shadowed sets, as well as the existence and uniqueness of solution points, are analyzed in detail. It is demonstrated that different approximation region partitions would be generated even under the same optimization model, which requires further criteria to make the constructed shadowed sets well‐defined. To address this limitation, the notions of passive and active constrained shadowed sets are introduced. A fast algorithm to obtain the proposed constrained shadowed sets is also designed based on the analyzed mathematical properties. Its performance is then illustrated by some typical fuzzy sets and some real data from the UCI repository.

Transformation and Optimization of Rural Ecological Endowment Industry Chain Based on Constrained Clustering Algorithm

“…However, for the specific industrial chain, scholars have given a definition of industrial chain risk with strong pertinence but narrow applicability. Literature [26] pointed out that the strategy of healthy China and rural revitalization clearly highlighted the concept of coordinated development of healthy old-age care and rural revitalization in the elaboration of the implementation framework of the two strategies. In literature [27], through the big data analysis method, China has been involved in a serious wave of aging, the number of the elderly population is increasing at an unprecedented rate, and the existing elderly care institutions are far from the actual elderly care service expectations of the people in terms of number and service quality.…”

Shadow Soft Set Theory

“…Considering all possible nonequivalent properties subsets, they obtained 21 classes of three-way fuzzy partitions and studied three classes of three-way fuzzy partitions. Zhou et al [31] in 2019 analyzed the continuous and convex properties of Pedrycz's optimization objective function to construct shadowed sets. Ibrahim et al [32] studied the principle of uncertainty balance, which guarantees the preservation of uncertainty in the induced shadowed set and suggested an alternative formulation for determining the optimum partition thresholds of shadowed sets.…”

“…31 Recently, numbers of heuristic metamorphic optimization algorithms have been introduced to tackle the problems that occurred in computational error. 37 One of the recently developed metaheuristic optimization algorithms is MLO, which is inspired from the basic principles of electromagnetic field theory. 18 However, this algorithm provides promising results while solving the optimization problems.…”
