}The term fuzzy logic is used in this paper to describe an imprecise logical system, FL, in which the truth-values are fuzzy subsets of the unit interval with linguistic labels such as true, false, not true, very true, quite true, not very true and not very false, etc. The truth-value set, ℐ, of FL is assumed to be generated by a context-free grammar, with a semantic rule providing a means of computing the meaning of each linguistic truth-value in ℐ as a fuzzy subset of [0, 1].Since ℐ is not…

Approximate Reasoning to Unify Norm-based and Implication-based Fuzzy Control

In Gerla [2000] a fuzzy logic in narrow sense is proposed as a theoretical framework for triangular norm based fuzzy control. In this note we show that the resulting theory is also able to express…

To understand fuzzy logic, it is essential to recall the basic motivation that led to its emergence, and classical logic is appropriate for a formalization of reasoning that involves bivalent propositions such as “5 is a prime number”, “age of Jan is 9”.

In this paper, fuzzy logic is viewed in a nonstandard perspective and the cornerstones of fuzzy logic-and its principal distinguishing features-are: graduation, granulation, precisiation and the concept of a generalized constraint.
Inverted Fuzzy Implications in Approximate Reasoning
- Computer ScienceCS&P

This paper proposes a new method for choosing fuzzy implications, which allows to compare two fuzzy implications and chooses the fuzzy implication which has the greatest or the smallest truth value of the implication consequent or which has greater or smaller truth value than another implication.

The importance and usefulness of many-valued logic in science will be showed by two examples: i) the unforeseeability in biology (theory of Prigogine), ii) the birth of quantum mechanics and the employment of probabilistic logic in the interpretation of the wave-function.

A Fuzzy-Set-Theoretic Interpretation of Linguistic Hedges

Abstract A basic idea suggested in this paper is that a linguistic hedge such as very, more or less, much, essentially. slightly, etc. may be viewed as an operator which acts on the fuzzy set…
Hedges: A Study In Meaning Criteria And The Logic Of Fuzzy Concepts
- Philosophy
- 1973
Students of language, especially psychologists and linguistic philosophers, have long been attuned to the fact that natural language concepts have vague boundaries and fuzzy edges and that, consequently, natural language sentences will very often be neither true, nor false, nor nonsensical.

It is the wish of the author to keep general terms distinct from abstract singular terms, so that the over-all dis pensability of some assumption that has always rankled as ad hoc and unintuitive is discovered.
