On intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces

In 2000, Wang and He published an important result on the theory of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). Indeed, they showed that every IFS may be regarded as an L‐fuzzy set for some…

Two mathematical notes – new homogenised Simpson's rules and a riffle shuffle conjecture
