Abstract

Abstract: We propose a novel notion of fuzzy similarity measure between fuzzy sets by using fuzzy equivalence. Furthermore, a similarity base fuzzy relational clustering algorithm is formulated. Applications are given to illustrate the usefulness of the chosen fuzzy equivalence and similarity measure in a partition algorithm.
