Fuzzy Logic - a New Direction. The Concept of f-Validity

نویسنده

  • Lotfi A. Zadeh
چکیده

Science deals not with reality but with models of reality. In this perspective, fuzzy logic may be viewed as a system of concepts and techniques aimed at construction of models of reality which are better than those which can be constructed through the use of methods based on bivalent logic and bivalent-logicbased probability theory. What lies beyond the boundaries of fuzzy logic? An uncharted territory which is explored involves settings in which precision is not an attainable objective. In such settings, it is necessary to retreat from precision and accept what may be called f-validity. The concept of f-validity has wide-ranging ramifications.

Fuzzy model for risk analysis

The goal of this paper is to show how the concept of fuzzy logic can be used to establish a degree to which an investment project belongs to a class of risk. Also, the probability of the fuzzy event is presented and is ap-plied to calculate the probability of the fuzzy event “the project X is a good investment”. This process has to enable the decision maker to compare several alternative invest...

Evaluating Construction Projects by a New Group Decision-Making Model Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic Concepts

Select an appropriate project is a main key for contractors to increase their profits. In practice, in this area the uncertainty and imprecise of the involved parameters is so high. Therefore, considering fuzzy sets theory to deal with uncertainly is more appreciate. The aim of this paper is present a multi-criteria group decision-making model under an intuitionistic fuzzy set environment. Henc...

A new method for fuzzification of nested dummy variables by fuzzy clustering membership functions and its application in financial economy

In this study, the aim is to propose a new method for fuzzification of nested dummy variables. The fuzzification idea of dummy variables has been acquired from non-linear part of regime switching models in econometrics. In these models, the concept of transfer functions is like the notion of fuzzy membership functions, but no principle or linguistic sentence have been used for inputs. Consequen...

A New Iterative Fuzzy-Based Method for Image Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents a new filtering approach based on fuzzy-logic which has high performance in mixed noise environments. This filter is mainly based on the idea that each pixel is not allowed to be uniformly fired by each of the fuzzy rules. In the proposed filtering algorithm, the rule membership functions are tuned iteratively in order to preserve the image edges. Several test experiments we...

Scattered data approximation of fully fuzzy data by quasi-interpolation

Fuzzy quasi-interpolations help to reduce the complexity of solving a linear system of equations compared with fuzzy interpolations. Almost all fuzzy quasi-interpolations are focused on the form of $widetilde{f}^{*}:mathbb{R}rightarrow F(mathbb{R})$ or $widetilde{f}^{*}:F(mathbb{R})rightarrow mathbb{R}$.  In this paper, we intend to offer a novel fuzzy radial basis function by the concept of so...
