In Which Sense Is Fuzzy Logic a Logic for Vagueness?

چکیده
The problem of artificial precision demonstrates the inadequacy of näıve fuzzy semantics for vagueness. This problem is, nevertheless, satisfactorily remedied by fuzzy plurivaluationism; i.e., by taking a class of fuzzy models (a fuzzy plurivaluation), instead of a single fuzzy model, for the semantics of a vague concept. Such a fuzzy plurivaluation in turn represents the class of models of a formal theory, preferably formulated in firstor higher-order fuzzy logic, which formalizes the meaning postulates of the vague concepts involved. The consequence relation of formal fuzzy logic then corresponds to the (super)truth of propositions involving these vague concepts. An adequate formal treatment of vague propositions by means of fuzzy logic thus consists in derivations in the formal calculus of a suitable fuzzy logic, while the particular truth degrees found in engineering applications actually pertain to artificially precisified (so no longer vague) gradual notions.

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...
متن کاملAGILITY EVALUATION IN PUBLIC SECTOR USING FUZZY LOGIC
Agility metrics are difficult to define in general, mainly due to the multidimensionality and vagueness of the concept of agility itself. In this paper, a knowledge-based framework is proposed for the measurement and assessment of public sector agility using the A.T.Kearney model. Fuzzy logic provides a useful tool for dealing with decisions in which the phenomena are imprecise and vague. In th...
متن کاملFuzzy Logic in Narrow Sense with Hedges
Classical logic has a serious limitation in that it cannot cope with the issues of vagueness and uncertainty into which fall most modes of human reasoning. In order to provide a foundation for human knowledge representation and reasoning in the presence of vagueness, imprecision, and uncertainty, fuzzy logic should have the ability to deal with linguistic hedges, which play a very important rol...
متن کاملOpen Theories, Consistency and Related Results in Fuzzy Logic Int. J. of Approximate Reasoning 1997
The paper deals with fuzzy logic in narrow sense of Lukasiewicz style, i.e. a special kind of many-valued logic which is aimed at modeling of vagueness phenomenon. This logic is a generalization of Lukasiewicz logic with many interesting properties (for example, generalization of the deduction and completeness theorems hold in it). Our aim is to prepare the background for the resolution in fuzz...
متن کاملFuzzy-Probabilistic Logic for Common Sense
P(Z) logic offers a new way to reason about vagueness (ie fuzziness), that treats fuzziness as degrees, distinct from probabilities. One then applies probability distributions over fuzziness. This approach is different from both classical fuzzy logic [26] and possibility theory [1]. P(Z) logic is specially designed for common-sense reasoning.
