Fuzzy Logic as a Theory of Vagueness: 15 Conceptual Questions
نویسنده
چکیده
In spite of its successes as a tool in the field of engineering, fuzzy set theory has yet to achieve the universal footing that probability theory has across the various fields of mathematics, technology, philosophy and psychology. This paper sets out points of critique brought up regarding the fuzzy approach and seeks to analyze them, focusing on the question of whether anything that can be done about these matters. Do these criticisms have any practical relevance or any relevance with respect to the intended fields of usage. Do they or do they not diminish fuzzy logic’s suitability as a theory of vagueness?

Conceptual Uncertainty and Reasoning Tools
Problems of conceptual uncertainty have been dealt with in theories of formal logic. Such theories try to accommodate vagueness in two main ways. One is fuzzy logic that introduces degrees of truth. The other way of accommodating formal logic to vagueness is super valuations and its descendants. This paper studies a more inclusive class of reasoning support than formal logic. In the present app...
متن کاملReliability 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 کاملTen Questions and One Problem on Fuzzy Logic
Ten questions on fuzzy logic as a formal logic of consequence under vagueness are discussed; a problem of deenability of truth is formulated. Recently I had a very interesting friendly e-mail discussion with Professor Parikh on vagueness and fuzzy logic. Parikh published several papers concerning the notion of vagueness. They contain critical remarks on fuzzy logic and its ability to formalize ...
متن کاملUNCERTAINTY MODELLING AND APPROXIMATE REASONING Modelling Technologies and Intelligent Systems
The theory of fuzzy logic provides a good mathematical and methodological basis for capturing the uncertainties associated with human cognitive processes, such as i d e n t i f y i n g c a u s a l relationships, thinking and reasoning. The conventional approaches to knowledge representation lack the means for representing the meaning of vague and incompletely understood concepts. As a consequen...
متن کاملLattices for 3-Dimensional Fuzzy Data generated by Fuzzy Galois Connections
Vagueness and high dimensional space data are usual features of current data. The paper is an approach to identify conceptual structures among fuzzy three dimensional data sets in order to get conceptual hierarchy. We propose a fuzzy extension of the Galois connections that allows to demonstrate an isomorphism theorem between fuzzy sets closures which is the basis for generating lattices ordere...
