Fuzzy Mathematical Analysis and Advances in Computational Mathematics (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing, 419)

The edited volume includes papers in the fields of fuzzy mathematical analysis and advances in computational mathematics. The fields of fuzzy mathematical analysis and advances in computational mathematics can provide valuable solutions to complex problems. They have been applied in multiple areas such as high dimensional data analysis, medical diagnosis, computer vision, hand-written character recognition, pattern recognition, machine intelligence, weather forecasting, network optimization, VLSI design, etc. The volume covers ongoing research in fuzzy and computational mathematical analysis and brings forward its recent applications to important real-world problems in various fields. The book includes selected high-quality papers from the International Conference on Fuzzy Mathematical Analysis and Advances in Computational Mathematics (FMAACM 2020).
