On extended fuzzy relational database model with proximity relations

In this paper, Shenoi and Melton's model of fuzzy relational database is considered. Proximity relation, being an important tool of the model, is characterized theoretically. An optimal α-distribution in [0, 1] and consequently the domain partition are defined, and studied with examples on fuzzy queries.
