Validity in a logic that combines supervaluation and fuzzy logic based theories of vagueness

چکیده

Supervaluationism and fuzzy logic are two complementary formalisms for reasoning with vague information. We study a framework for combining both approaches. Supervaluationism is modeled by a space of precisifications, essentially a Kripke structure. We equip this space with a probability measure to extract the truth value of each propositional variable by measuring the set of precisifications in which it is true. Complex formulas are evaluated by the truth functions given by a continuous t-norm and its residuum. We also add a universal modality to this logic. Besides unrestricted probability measures, we motivate two other natural classes: strictly positive and uniform probability measures. The goal of this paper is to analyze how the choice of a probability measure and a t-norm affects the set of valid formulas in our hybrid logic.

A Semantic Model for Vague Quantifiers Combining Fuzzy Theory and Supervaluation Theory

This paper introduces a semantic model for vague quantifiers (VQs) combining Fuzzy Theory (FT) and Supervaluation Theory (ST), which are the two main theories on vagueness, a common source of uncertainty in natural language. After comparing FT and ST, I will develop the desired model and a numerical method for evaluating truth values of vague quantified statements, called the Modified Glöckner’...

REVISITING GILES’S GAME Reconciling Fuzzy Logic and Supervaluation∗

We explain Giles’s characterization of Lukasiewicz logic via a dialogue game combined with bets on results of experiments that may show dispersion. The game is generalized to other fuzzy logics and linked to recent results in proof theory. We argue that these results allow one to place t-norm based fuzzy logics in a common framework with supervaluation as a theory of vagueness.

Article Number 1083

Vagueness is a fundamental, pervasive, and characteristic feature of natural language meaning. Almost every predicate whose applicability depends on gradient properties—which includes most content words in every language—exhibits vague uncertainty in borderline cases. The Sorities Paradox (the Paradox of the Heap) is the hallmark of vagueness: how can infitessimal differences add up to a qualit...

Reliability Measures Measurement under Rule-Based Fuzzy Logic Technique

In reliability theory, the reliability measures contend the very important and depreciative role for any system analysis. Measurement of reliability measures is not easy due to ambiguity and vagueness which exist within reliability parameters. It is also very difficult to incorporate a large amount of uncertainty in well-established methodologies and techniques. However, fuzzy logic provides an...

Combining Supervaluation and Degree Based Reasoning Under Vagueness

Two popular approaches to formalize adequate reasoning with vague propositions are usually deemed incompatible: On the one hand, there is supervaluation with respect to precisification spaces, which consist in collections of classical interpretations that represent admissible ways of making vague atomic statements precise. On the other hand, t-norm based fuzzy logics model truth functional reas...
