A method of inference in approximate reasoning based on interval-valued fuzzy sets. (English) Zbl 0635.68103

Gorzałczany, Marian B.

Fuzzy Sets Syst. 21, 1-17 (1987).

This paper introduces and discusses a method of approximate inference which operates on the extension of the concept of a fuzzy set by the concept of an interval-valued fuzzy set. This method allows a formal, fuzzy representation to be built for verbal decision algorithms. Furthermore, it can have an effective computer representation. An example showing how this method operates is provided.
