چکیده

In this paper we introduce a new type of fuzzy modifiers (i.e. mappings that transform a fuzzy set into a modified fuzzy set) based on fuzzy relations. We show how they can be applied for the representation of weakening adverbs (more or less, roughly) and intensifying adverbs (very, extremely) in the inclusive and the non-inclusive interpretation. We illustrate their use in an approximate reasoning scheme. 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Fuzzy Topologies Induced by Fuzzy Relation Based Modifiers

In this paper we highlight the specific meaning of images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy relations in the context of fuzzy topology. More precisely we show that fuzzy modifiers taking direct and superdirect images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy pre-orderings are respectively closure and interior operators, inducing fuzzy topologies. Furthermore we investigate under which conditions the same applies to th...

A Context–based Approach to Linguistic Hedges

We present a framework of L-fuzzy modifiers for L being a complete lattice. They are used to model linguistic hedges that act on linguistic terms represented by L-fuzzy sets. In the modelling process the context is taken into account by means of L-fuzzy relations, endowing the L-fuzzy modifiers with a clear inherent semantics. To our knowledge, these L-fuzzy modifiers are the first ones propose...

Fuzzy Concepts and Formal Methods: A Sample Specification for a Fuzzy Expert System

A fuzzy logic toolkit has been developed for the formal specification language Z. It permits the incorporation of fuzzy concepts into the language while retaining the precision of any Z specification. The toolkit provides the necessary operators, measures and modifiers for the definition and manipulation of fuzzy sets and relations. This paper illustrates how the toolkit can be used to specify ...

A New Generation of the Fuzzy-set-theoretical Representation of Modified Linguistic Terms

Fuzzy set theory provides a framework in which natural language expressions can be modelled mathematically, thereby even taking the vagueness of linguistic terms into account. In fuzzy systems a linguistic term (e.g. fast) is represented by a fuzzy set, while a linguistic modifier (e.g. very) is modelled by an operator (also known as hedge) transforming a fuzzy set into another. In the paper fi...

The Construction of Ordering-Based Modifiers

Ordering-based modifiers can be particularly useful in fuzzy control and other fields related to fuzzy systems. This paper deals with the construction of such modifiers by means of hull operators with respect to fuzzy orderings.
