Fuzzy Set Theory—and Its ApplicationsSince its inception, the theory of fuzzy sets has advanced in a variety of ways and in many disciplines. Applications of fuzzy technology can be found in artificial intelligence, computer science, control engineering, decision theory, expert systems, logic, management science, operations research, robotics, and others. Theoretical advances have been made in many directions. The primary goal of Fuzzy Set Theory - and its Applications, Fourth Edition is to provide a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory, and a book that can be used as an introduction. To balance the character of a textbook with the dynamic nature of this research, many useful references have been added to develop a deeper understanding for the interested reader. Fuzzy Set Theory - and its Applications, Fourth Edition updates the research agenda with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy data analysis, decision making and fuzzy set models in operations research. Chapters have been updated and extended exercises are included. |

In conventional dual logic, for instance, a statement can be true or false—and nothing in between. In set theory, an element can either belong to a set or not; and in optimization, a solution is either feasible or not.

Each single element can either belong to or not belong to a set A, A c X. In the former case, the statement “x belongs to A” is true, whereas in the latter case this statement is false. Such a classical set can be described in different ...

They argued from a logical point of view, interpreting the intersection as “logical and,” the union as “logical or,” and the fuzzy set A as the statement “The element x belongs to set A,” which can be accepted as more or less true.
