This paper summarizes some results of the authors’ research that have been carried out in recent years on generalization of conventional aggregation operators. Aggregation of information represented by membership functions is a central matter in intelligent systems where fuzzy rule base and reasoning mechanism are applied. Typical examples of such systems consist of, but not limited to, fuzzy c...

Ever since the first hybrid fuzzy rough set model was proposed in the early 1990?s, many researchers have focused on the definition of the lower and upper approximation of a fuzzy set by means of a fuzzy relation. In this paper, we review those proposals which generalize the logical connectives and quantifiers present in the rough set approximations by means of corresponding fuzzy logic operati...

At AAAI'93, Elkan has claimed to have a result trivializing fuzzy logic. This trivialization is based on too strong a view of equivalence in fuzzy logic and relates to a fully compositional treatment of uncertainty. Such a treatment is shown to be impossible in this paper. We emphasize the distinction between i) degrees of partial truth which are allowed to be truth functional and which pertain...

Hori (né Uemura) et al. formulated the fuzzy-Bayes decision rule extension of the Wald decision function to fuzzy ORand AND-connectives with multiple subjective distributions. This decision rule maps and transforms a state of nature to fuzzy events. In this context, the map of subjective distributions is called the subjective possibility distribution and the map of utility functions is called t...

In this chapter, we consider particular classes of infinite-valued propositional logics which are strongly related to t-norms as conjunction connectives and to the real unit interval as set of their truth degrees, and which have their implication connectives determined via an adjointness condition. Such systems have in the last ten years been of considerable interest, and the topic of important...

The computation of a closed formula for the cardinality some discrete connectives has received interest research community since beginning this class operators. This paper constitutes substantial progress in topic. First, monotonicities and other properties are related to plane partitions, concept deeply studied field combinatorics. Second, already known expressions on partitions adapted concre...

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...

The development of fuzzy sets in geographic information systems (GIS) arose out of the need to handle uncertainty and the ability of soft computing technology to support fuzzy information processing. An overview of the fundamentals of fuzzy sets is used to illustrate its use in GIS. The use of some terms within both the GIS and fuzzy information processing community is clarified. Since one of t...

In this paper we deal with propositional fuzzy formulae containing several propositional symbols linked with connectives defined in a lattice of truth degrees more complex than Bool. Instead of focusing on satisfiability (i.e., proving the existence of at least one model) as usually done in a SAT/SMT setting, our interest moves to the problem of finding the whole set of models (with a finite do...
