Abstract

In this paper, we extend the research presented in [Wang and Zheng, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, p108581, 2023] by establishing the algebraic structure of the Gaussian Probability Density Membership Function (Gaussian-PDMF) space. We consider fixed objective and subjective entities, denoted as $(h,p)$, and provide the explicit form of the membership function. Consequently, every fuzzy number with the membership function in $X_{h,p}(\mathbb{R})$, denoted as $\tilde{x}$, can be uniquely identified by a vector $\langle x; d^-, d^+, \mu^-,\mu^+\rangle$. Here, $x\in \mathbb{R}$ represents the "leading factor" of the fuzzy number $\tilde{x}$ with a membership degree equal to $1$. The parameters $d^-$ (left side) and $d^+$ (right side) denote the lengths of the compact support, while $\mu^-$ (left side) and $\mu^+$ (right side) represent the shapes. We introduce five operators: addition, subtraction, multiplication, scalar multiplication, and division. We demonstrate that, based on our definitions, the Gaussian-PDMF space exhibits a well-defined algebraic structure. For instance, $X_{h,p}(\mathbb{R})$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{R}$, featuring a subspace that forms a division ring, allowing for the representation of fuzzy polynomials, among other properties. We provide several examples to illustrate our theoretical results.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
