Logical structure of fuzzy IF-THEN rules (Q853465)

This paper discusses fuzzy IF-THEN rules in the framework of fuzzy type theory as developed by the first author in, e.g., [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 149, No. 2, 235--273 (2005; Zbl 1068.03019)]. The main aim is to treat such rules really as linguistic expressions and to model them as special cases within a broader formalization of natural language formulations. This approach opens a nice new way to study the properties of systems of linguistic control rules by logical means.
