Systemic approach to fuzzy logic formalization for approximate reasoning

摘要

L.A. Zadeh, E.H. Mamdani, M. Mizumoto, et al., R.A. Aliev and A. Tserkovny have proposed methods for fuzzy reasoning in which antecedents and consequents involve fuzzy conditional propositions of the form "If x is A then y is B", with A and B being fuzzy concepts (fuzzy sets). A formulation of fuzzy antecedent/consequent chains is one of the most important topics within a wide spectrum of problems in fuzzy sets in general and approximate reasoning, in particular. From the analysis of relevant research it becomes clear that for this purpose, a so-called fuzzy conditional inference rules comes as a viable alternative. In this study, we present a systemic approach toward fuzzy logic formalization for approximate reasoning. For this reason, we put together some comparative analysis of fuzzy reasoning methods in which antecedents contain a conditional proposition with fuzzy concepts and which are based on implication operators present in various types of fuzzy logic. We also show a process of a formation of the fuzzy logic regarded as an algebraic system closed under all its operations. We examine statistical characteristics of the proposed fuzzy logic. As the matter of practical interest, we construct a set of fuzzy conditional inference rules on the basis of the proposed fuzzy logic. Continuity and stability features of the formalized rules are investigated.
