Logical filtering in solving fuzzy relational equations

摘要

The paper introduces an idea of logical filtering viewed as a new tool for solving fuzzy relational equations. Considering the panoply of the existing methods, the proposed approach can be classified as a semi-analytic method in the sense it departures from the individual analytical solutions to the individual equations in the system and combines them through an optimization process of logical filtering (masking). Several types of filtering are studied and provided with the detailed learning schemes.
