From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Fuzzy sets are sets whose elements have degrees of membership. Fuzzy sets have been introduced by Lotfi A. Zadeh (1965) as an extension of the classical notion of set . In classical set theory , the membership of elements in a set is assessed in binary terms according to a bivalent condition Ã¢ÂÂ an element either belongs or does not belong to the set. By contrast, fuzzy set theory permits the gradual assessment of the membership of elements in a set; this is described with the aid of a membership function indicator functions of classical sets are special cases of the membership functions of fuzzy sets, if the latter only take values or 1. To date, fuzzy set theory has not produced any results unavailable to set theory and probability theory.

edit Definition A fuzzy set is a pair A m where A is a set and . For each m x is the grade of membership of x . If A x x n the fuzzy set A m can be denoted m z z m z n z n An element mapping to the value means that the member is not included in the fuzzy set, 1 describes a fully included member. Values strictly between and 1 characterize the fuzzy members.

|What do ya mean fuzzy Before illustrating the mechanisms which make fuzzy logic machines work, it is important to realize what fuzzy logic actually is. Fuzzy logic is a superset of conventional(Boolean) logic that has been extended to handle the concept of partial truth- truth values between "completely true" and "completely false". As its name suggests, it is the logic underlying modes of reasoning which are approximate rather than exact. The importance of fuzzy logic derives from the fact that most modes of human reasoning and especially common sense reasoning are approximate in nature. |
The essential characteristics of fuzzy logic as founded by Zader Lotfi are as follows.
The third statement hence, define Boolean logic as a subset of Fuzzy logic.
- In fuzzy logic, exact reasoning is viewed as a limiting case of approximate reasoning. In fuzzy logic everything is a matter of degree. Any logical system can be fuzzified In fuzzy logic, knowledge is interpreted as a collection of elastic or, equivalently , fuzzy constraint on a collection of variables Inference is viewed as a process of propagation of elastic constraints.

Fuzzy Set Theory
- Fuzzy set theory defines set membership as a possibility distribution The general rule for this can expressed as:
where n some number of possibilities. This basically states that we can take n possible events and us f to generate as single possible outcome. This extends set membership since we could have varying definitions of, say, hot curries. One person might declare that only curries of Vindaloo strength or above are hot whilst another might say madras and above are hot. We could allow for these variations definition by allowing both possibilities in fuzzy definitions.
- Once set membership has been redefined we can develop new logics based on combining of sets etc. and reason effectively.

About this Seminar Since their inception in 1979 the Linz Seminars on Fuzzy Sets have emphasized the development of mathematical aspects of fuzzy sets by bringing together researchers in fuzzy sets and established mathematicians whose work outside the fuzzy setting can provide direction for further research. The seminar is deliberately kept small and intimate so that informal critical discussion remains central. There are no parallel sessions and during the week there are several round tables to discuss open problems and promising directions for further work. Foundations of Lattice-Valued Mathematics with Applications to Algebra and Topology Accordingly, the topics of the Seminar will include but not be limited to:
- Categorical and logical approaches to lattice valued algebraic structures, powerset theories, topological structures Lattice valued categories, equivalences, locales, orders, topologies Presheaf and sheaf theoretic approaches to lattice valued structures Programming semantics, semantic domains, topological systems

What is FIP
What is Fuzzy Set Theory? Fuzzy set theory is the extension of conventional (crisp) set theory. It handles the concept of partial truth (truth values between 1 (completely true) and (completely false)). It was introduced by Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh of UC/Berkeley in 1965 as a mean to model the vagueness and ambiguity in complex systems. The idea of fuzzy sets is simple and natural. For instance, we want to define a set of gray levels that share the property dark. In classical set theory, we have to determine a threshold, say the gray level 100. All gray levels between and 100 are element of this set, the others do not belong to the set (left image in Fig.1). But the darkness is a matter of degree. So, a fuzzy set can model this property much better. To define this set, we also need two thresholds, say gray levels 50 and 150. All gray levels that are less than 50 are the full member of the set, all gray levels that are greater than 150 are not the member of the set. The gray levels between 50 and 150, however, have a partial memebrship in the set (right image in Fig.1).

|11.8 Applications of Fuzzy Set Theory Fuzzy set theory , to treat fuzziness in data, was proposed by Zadeh in 1965. In Fuzzy set theory the membership grade can be taken as a value intermediate between and 1 although in the normal case of set theory membership the grade can be taken only as or 1. Figure 11.8.1 shows a comparison between the normal case of set theory and fuzzy set theory. The function of the membership grade is called its "membership function" in Fuzzy theory. The membership function will be defined by the user in consideration of the fuzziness. In remote sensing it is often not easy to delineate the boundary between two different classes. For example, there are transitive vegetation or mixed vegetation between forest and grass land. In such cases as unclearly defined class boundaries, Fuzzy set theory can be usefully applied, in a qualitative sense. The following shows how the maximum likelihood method with Fuzzy set theory. Let the membership function be Mf( ) of class k (k=1,n), the likelihood Lf of fuzzy class f can be defined as follows.|

USA Fuzzy Logic: The Logic of Fuzzy Sets
Introduction The concept of a Fuzzy Logic is one that it is very easy for the ill-informed to dismiss as trivial and/or insignificant. It refers not to a fuzziness of logic but instead to a logic of fuzziness , or more specifically to the logic of fuzzy sets . Those that examined Lotfi A. Zadeh's concept more closely found it to be useful for dealing with real world phenomena. From a strictly mathematical point of view the concept of a Fuzzy Set is a brilliant generalization of the classical notion of a Set. Now the concept of a Fuzzy Set is well established as an important and practical construct for modeling. Moreover, Zadeh's formulation makes one realize how artificial is the classical black-white formulation of Aristotelian logic ( Is A or Is Not-A ). In a world of shades of gray a black-white dichotomy involves an unnecessary arbitrariness, an artificiality imposed upon that world. The purpose of the material here is to present the mathematical structure of the concept of Fuzzy Sets. This generalization is achieved by way of the concept of the characteristic function for a set.
Classical Set Theory Formulated A A The set operations of union, intersection and complementation are defined in terms of characteristic functions as follows.

03E: Set theory
Introduction Naive set theory considers elementary properties of the union and intersection operators Venn diagrams, the DeMorgan laws, elementary counting techniques such as the inclusion-exclusion principle, partially ordered sets, and so on. This is perhaps as much of set theory as the typical mathematician uses. Indeed, one may "construct" the natural numbers, real numbers, and so on in this framework. However, situations such as Russell's paradox show that some care must be taken to define what, precisely, is a set. However, results in mathematical logic imply it is impossible to determine whether or not these axioms are consistent using only proofs expressed in this language. Assuming they are indeed consistent, there are also statements whose truth or falsity cannot be determined from them. These statements (or their negations!) can be taken as axioms for set theory as well. For example, Cohen's technique of forcing showed that the Axiom of Choice is independent of the other axioms of ZF. (That axiom states that for every collection of nonempty sets, there is a set containing one element from each set in the collection.) This axiom is equivalent to a number of other statements (e.g. Zorn's Lemma) whose assumption allows the proof of surprising even paradoxical results such as the Banach-Tarski sphere decomposition. Thus, some authors are careful to distinguish results which depend on this or other non-ZF axioms; most assume it (that is, they work in ZFC Set Theory).

Fuzzy Set Theory Lucarella introduces a plausible retrieval model based on fuzzy set theory [ ]. In his model, the hypertext network is regarded as a two layer structure divided into concept network and document network. The terms of the concept network form an index to the document space. The concept network can be used for browsing as well as for the retrieval process. Searching in the hypertext network is perceived as filtering to locate interesting starting points for browsing. The intention is to reduce the hypertext network to a set of nodes that best matches the query and is manageable for browsing. The concept network consists of a set of terms, a set of admissible relations, and a set of links. A link is a binary fuzzy relation, where the membership function indicates the strength of the semantic link between two concepts. The link relationship is defined as fuzzy transitive, where the membership function of the chain of links is the minimum of all membership functions. The strength of the chain linking nodes is given by its weakest link. The system works by spreading activation from the original query concepts throughout the network. Distance constraints stop the activation process at some specified distance from the original node. For each concept in the original query the system infers a set of semantically related concepts. To support the retrieval process a number of inference rules are defined. The first is: If a query is about subject

Solving problems in Library and Information Science using Fuzzy Set Theory Library Trends Wntr, 2002 by William W. Hood Concepcion S. Wilson ABSTRACT VARIOUS MATHEMATICAL TOOLS AND THEORIES have found application in Library and Information Science (LIS). One of these is Fuzzy Set Theory (FST). FST is a generalization of classical Set Theory, designed to better model situations where membership of a set is not discrete but is "fuzzy." The theory dates from 1965, when Lotfi Zadeh published his seminal paper on the topic. As well as mathematical developments and extensions of the theory itself, there have been many applications of FST to such diverse areas as medical diagnoses and washing machines. The theory has also found application in a number of aspects of LIS. Information Retrieval (IR) is one area where FST can prove useful; this paper reviews IR applications of FST. Another major area of Information Science in which FST has found application is Informetrics; these studies are also reviewed. A few examples of the use of this theory in non-LIS domains are also examined.

Call for Papers The proposal is titled Fuzzy Set Applications in Quality Engineering. This will involve both online and offline quality engineering activities. In engineering and manufacturing, quality control and quality engineering are involved in developing systems to ensure products or services are designed and produced to meet or exceed customer requirements. These systems are often developed in conjunction with other business and engineering disciplines using a cross-functional approach. This special issue will show the theoretical and practical application of fuzzy sets to the general quality models and theories. Fuzzy set theory has been used to model systems that are hard to define precisely. Quality engineering has no shortage of such imprecision. As a methodology, fuzzy set theory incorporates imprecision and subjectivity into the model formulation and solution process. Fuzzy set theory represents an attractive tool to aid research in many quality engineering/quality assurance areas. The relevant areas for this proposal include all online and offline quality body of knowledge such as; but not limited to:

FUZZY SETS, FUZZY LOGIC, AND FUZZY SYSTEMS
Selected Papers by Lotfi A Zadeh
edited by (SUNY, Binghamton)
This book consists of selected papers written by the founder of fuzzy set theory, Lotfi A Zadeh. Since Zadeh is not only the founder of this field, but has also been the principal contributor to its development over the last 30 years, the papers contain virtually all the major ideas in fuzzy set theory, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems in their historical context. Many of the ideas presented in the papers are still open to further development. The book is thus an important resource for anyone interested in the areas of fuzzy set theory, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems, as well as their applications. Moreover, the book is also intended to play a useful role in higher education, as a rich source of supplementary reading in relevant courses and seminars. The book contains a bibliography of all papers published by Zadeh in the period 1949Â1995. It also contains an introduction that traces the development of Zadeh's ideas pertaining to fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems via his papers. The ideas range from his 1965 seminal idea of the concept of a fuzzy set to ideas reflecting his current interest in computing with words Â a computing in which linguistic expressions are used in place of numbers.

Title: Quantum Fuzzy Sets: Blending Fuzzy Set Theory and Quantum Computation Authors: Mirco A. Mannucci (Submitted on 16 Apr 2006) Abstract: In this article we investigate a way in which quantum computing can be used to extend the class of fuzzy sets. The core idea is to see states of a quantum register as characteristic functions of quantum fuzzy subsets of a given set. As the real unit interval is embedded in the Bloch sphere, every fuzzy set is automatically a quantum fuzzy set. However, a generic quantum fuzzy set can be seen as a (possibly entangled) superposition of many fuzzy sets at once, offering new opportunities for modeling uncertainty. After introducing the main framework of quantum fuzzy set theory, we analyze the standard operations of fuzzification and defuzzification from our viewpoint. We conclude this preliminary paper with a list of possible applications of quantum fuzzy sets to pattern recognition, as well as future directions of pure research in quantum fuzzy set theory.

Abstract: As professor Zadeh first introduced fuzzy theory, Fuzzy theory has been applied to many fields. In many application fields, fuzzy query is capable of processing imprecise and ambiguity data. The development of fuzzy query can be used on traditional databases or fuzzy databases. Many researchers develop many techniques to represent data schema. However, it increases difficulties to handle a fuzzy query. In this research, we present a fuzzy language architecture based on SQL and Fuzzy sets. This architecture can effectively reduced complexity of processing data and maintaining a database. It also can balance the variety of data and system performance. By applying fuzzy logic and SQL to the evaluation of records, we significantly improve the robustness of database query operations.

History The concept of fuzzy set was published in 1965 by Lotfi A. Zadeh (see also Zadeh 1965). Since that seminal publication, the fuzzy set theory is widely studied and extended. Its application to the control theory became successful and revolutionary especially in seventies, and eighties, the applications to data analysis artificial intelligence , and computational intelligence are intensively developed, especially, since nineties. The theory is also extended and generalized by means of the theories of triangular norms and conorms , and aggregation operators edit
Motivation The expansion of the field of mathematical models of real phenomena was influenced by the vagueness of the colloquial language. The attempts to use the computing technology for processing such models have pointed at the fact that the traditional

Lotfi Zadeh: Fuzzy logic-Incoporating Real-World Vagueness Back to Classics Background Fuzzy logic was first invented as a representation scheme and calculus for uncertain or vague notions. It is basically a multi-valued logic that allows more human-like interpretation and reasoning in machines by resolving intermediate categories between notations such as true/false, hot/cold etc used in Boolean logic. This was seen as an extension of the conventional Boolean Logic that was extended to handle the concept of partial truth or partial false rather than the absolute values and categories in Boolean logic. Philosophers such as Plato had posited the laws of thought and one of these thoughts was the Law of Excluded Middle . Parminedes proposed the first version of this rule around 400 B.C. and stated amidst controversy that statements could be both true and not true at the same time. The Greek Philosopher Plato laid the foundations for the fuzzy logic by proposing a third region between true and false where the two notions tumbled together. In the early 1900s, Lukasiewicz extended on to the conventional bi-valued logic of Aristotle and proposed a tri-valued logic in his paper in 1920 titled On three-valued logic The fuzzy set theory was introduced by Professor Lotfi Zadeh in 1965 and can be seen as an infinite- valued logic. Lotfi Zadeh is currently serving as a director of BISC (Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing). Prior to 1965 Zadeh's work had been centered on system theory and decision analysis. Since then, his research interests have shifted to the theory of fuzzy sets and its applications to artificial intelligence, linguistics, logic, decision analysis, control theory, expert systems and neural networks. Currently, his research is focused on fuzzy logic, soft computing, computing with words, and the newly developed computational theory of perceptions and natural language.

|Current Activities Fuzzy Clustering |
Brian T. Luke The concepts of Fuzzy Set Theory, when treated in a purely mathematical form, can be quite confusing. This outline describes the basic concepts by examining a sample set of data. This method has been used in a Breast Cancer Diagnosis study to classify tumors from the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Data Set as either malignant or benign. The objective of any Decision Support procedure is to use the training set of data to develop a procedure that can be used to classify a new set of values. Machine Learning, Neural Networks, and several other procedures will take the new values and return a definitive result. In other words, this new sample belongs either to one set or the other. In this description, I'll label them Set-0 and Set-1, where Set-0 could be false, benign, cold or lean, and Set-1 could be true, malignant, hot or rich. Fuzzy Set Theory is different from these in that all results, in principle, belong to both sets, only to different degrees. For example, one set of values could result in a 98% membership in Set-0 and a 2% membership in Set-1, meaning that it is very likely in Set-0. Another set of values could yield a 20% membership in Set-0 and an 80% membership in Set-1, meaning that it

|J UNIORPROFESSUR T HEORETISCHE C HEMISCHE D YNAMIK Group Members Research Publications ... New Fuzzy Logic Strategies for Bio-molecular Recognition The concepts of molecular similarity and molecular complementarity, playing important roles in the broad field of molecular recognition, are chemical problems, in which the eyeball technique used by a human observer is very successful but which are very hard to code into a computer algorithm. Based on the model of molecular surfaces, our new approach defines overlapping surface patches with similar molecular properties. These patches are used to represent local features of the molecule in a way, which is beyond the atomistic resolution but can nevertheless be applied in partial similarity as well as complementarity analyses in a very general sense. It can be shown that this molecular description can be used as the first step in a docking algorithm for complexes, where the structures of both molecules are known, as well as for the identification of possible active sites without the knowledge of specific molecules binding to this site.

Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy Logic
For many years Michael Smithson has been internationally recognised for his work on methods for applying fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory in psychological and social science research. Fuzzy sets are essentially categories that have blurry boundaries (e.g., colours such as red or violet), so that objects may belong partially to more than one fuzzy set at a time (e.g., something can be reddish-purple). Many psychological constructs (e.g., depression) can be thought of as both categorical and a matter of degree at the same time, and fuzzy sets potentially could be applied to such concepts.
