Anti-Fuzzy Hypergraphs And Superhypergraphs: Max-Oriented Uncertainty Models For Higher-Order And Hierarchical Networks, Takaaki Fujita, Ajoy Kanti Das, Suman Das, Sankar Prasad Mondal Sep 2026

Anti-Fuzzy Hypergraphs And Superhypergraphs: Max-Oriented Uncertainty Models For Higher-Order And Hierarchical Networks, Takaaki Fujita, Ajoy Kanti Das, Suman Das, Sankar Prasad Mondal

Sustainable Machine Intelligence Journal

Hypergraphs extend classical graphs by allowing hyperedges to connect more than two vertices, while superhypergraphs further generalize this framework through iterated powerset constructions that capture hierarchical and nested incidence structures. Within fuzzy graph theory, anti-fuzzy graphs provide max-oriented uncertainty models in which each edge grade is at least the maximum grade of its incident vertices. However, corresponding max-oriented frameworks for hypergraphs and superhypergraphs have not been systematically developed. To address this gap, we introduce anti-fuzzy hypergraphs and anti-fuzzy superhypergraphs, formulate their mathematical definitions, and establish basic well-definedness and canonical representation results. These models provide a unified foundation for max-based …

Type-2 And Type-N Rough Sets: A Hierarchical Generalization Of Pawlak Approximations With Some Applications", Takaaki Fujita, Ajoy Kanti Das, Suman Das, Sankar Prasad Mondal

Sustainable Machine Intelligence Journal

Uncertainty is ubiquitous in real-world systems and has motivated the development of various generalized set-theoretic frameworks, including rough sets, fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, and neutrosophic sets. In particular, rough set theory represents uncertainty by approximating a target subset of a universe through two crisp sets, namely the lower and upper approximations, which are induced by an equivalence, or indiscernibility, relation.
Motivated by the well-established hierarchy of Type-2 and, more generally, Type-(n) fuzzy sets, this paper proposes and studies analogous higher-order extensions of rough sets. First, we introduce Type-2 rough sets as a two-level parameterized framework in which each primary …

A Neutrosophic Homological-Gröbner Framework For Ai-Driven Media Education Evaluation, Mona Gharib, Hafiz Muhammad Athar Farid, José M. Merigó, Muhammad Riaz

Sustainable Machine Intelligence Journal

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with media technologies has transformed teaching in Journalism and Communication, introducing new challenges for quality evaluation. Traditional assessment methods fail to capture the uncertainty, inconsistency, and incompleteness inherent in modern educational data. This paper proposes a Neutrosophic Homological–Gröbner Framework, which unifies three perspectives: neutrosophic sets to encode uncertain evidence, homological algebra to analyze structural coherence, and Gröbner bases to systematically simplify interdependent evaluation rules.

Within this framework, diverse evidence is encoded into neutrosophic triplets, daggregate into course-level indicators, and organized into neutrosophic chain complexes, where Betti indices reveal coherence and fragmentation. Educational policies are …

Barriers To Digital Payment Adoption In Saudi Arabia: A Plithogenic Indetermhypersoft Complex Refined Modelling Approach, Mohanned H. Alharbi

Sustainable Machine Intelligence Journal

Digital payments are central to Saudi Arabia's financial modernization under Vision 2030. While infrastructure and regulations have advanced rapidly, adoption is still hindered by barriers such as security concerns, unclear costs, usability issues, and religious ambiguity. Standard analytical models often struggle to evaluate these barriers because user feedback is frequently incomplete, conflicting, or vague. To address this uncertainty, this paper proposes a new decision-making framework: the Plithogenic IndetermHyperSoft Complex Refined Neutrosophic model (PIHCRN-DPA).
