Application of fuzzy sets in soil science: fuzzy logic, fuzzy measurements and fuzzy decisions

چکیده

Fuzzy systems, including fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, provide a rich and meaningful improvement, or extension of conventional logic. The mathematics generated by this theory is consistent, and fuzzy set theory may be seen as a generalisation of classic set theory. Applications in soil science, which may be generated from, or adapted to fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, are wide-ranging: numerical classification of soil and mapping, land evaluation, modelling and simulation of soil physical processes, fuzzy soil geostatistics, soil quality indices and fuzzy measures of imprecisely defined soil phenomena. Many other soil concepts or systems may be modelled, simulated, and even replicated with the help of fuzzy systems, not the least of which is human reasoning itself.

Applications of Fuzzy Program Graph in Symbolic Checking of Fuzzy Flip-Flops

All practical digital circuits are usually a mixture of combinational and sequential logic. Flip–flops are essential to sequential logic therefore fuzzy flip–flops are considered to be among the most essential topics of fuzzy digital circuit. The concept of fuzzy digital circuit is among the most interesting applications of fuzzy sets and logic due to the fact that if there has to be an ultimat...

A Multi-Criteria Analysis Model under an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Environment with an Application to Production Project Decision Problems

Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria ana...
