Hedge Algebras: an Algebraic Approach to Structure of Sets of Linguistic Truth Values
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that any sets of linguistic values of linguistic variables can be axiomatized, which leads to a notion of hedge algebras. Some intuitive properties of linguistic hedges, which are a basis of the axiomatization of the hedge algebras, are discussed informally. The characteristics of the hedge algebras depend on such a discussion and they seem to reflect the natural structure of sets of linguistic values of linguistic variables. Some fundamental properties of hedge algebras are examined. They constitute a foundation of further development of our theory of hedge algebras and of some kind of fuzzy logic.

A Theory of Refinement Structure of Hedge Algebras and Its Applications to Fuzzy Logic
In [13], an algebraic approach to the natural structure of domains of linguistic variables was introduced. In this approach, every linguistic domain can be interpreted as an algebraic structure called a hedge algebra. In this paper, a refinement structure of hedge algebras based on free distributive lattices generated by linguistic hedge operations will be examined in order to model structure o...
متن کاملA topological completion of refined hedge algebras and a model of fuzziness of linguistic terms and hedges
The main aim of the investigation of hedge algebras is to discover an algebraic structure in the category of universal algebras of terms-domains of linguistic variables or to establish an algebraic approach to the semantic structure of terms-domains. The meaning of linguistic terms in general is vague, however vagueness is a concept which is difficult to be defined formally and reasonably. Moti...
متن کاملFuzzy linguistic logic programming and its applications
The paper introduces fuzzy linguistic logic programming, which is a combination of fuzzy logic programming, introduced by P. Vojtáš, and hedge algebras in order to facilitate the representation and reasoning on human knowledge expressed in natural languages. In fuzzy linguistic logic programming, truth values are linguistic ones, e.g., VeryTrue, VeryProbablyTrue, and LittleFalse, taken from a h...
متن کاملAn Interpolative Reasoning Method Based on Hedge Algebras and Its Application to a Problem of Fuzzy Control
The paper aims to show an applicability of the algebraic approach introduced in [7,9,11,6] to solving a problem of fuzzy control. In this approach, linearly ordered term-domains of linguistic variables can be considered as linear hedges algebras (LinHAs). It is interesting that in LinHAs, a formal notion of fuzziness measure of linguistic hedges and terms can be defined in a reasonable way, bas...
متن کاملOptimal hedge-algebras-based controller: Design and application
In previous papers, we introduced a new reasoning method based on quantifying linguistic domains, established a new fuzzy control algorithm, called hedge-algebras-based controller (HAC), and applied it to solve some fuzzy control problems. The HAC does not require fuzzy sets to provide the semantics of the linguistic terms used in the fuzzy rule system rather the semantics is obtained through t...
