Abstract
Based on the properties of the difference operator on crisp sets, a fuzzy difference operator in fuzzy logic is defined as a continuous binary operator on the closed unit interval with some boundary conditions. In this paper, the structures and properties of fuzzy difference operators are studied. The main results are: (1) Using the axiomatic approach, some generalizations of classical tautologies for fuzzy difference operators are obtained. (2) Based on the model theoretic approach, the fuzzy difference operator constructed by a nilpotent t-norm and a strong negation is characterized. (3) the paper discusses the relationship between the fuzzy difference operator and symmetric difference operator which was raised in [3].
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Approximate Reasoning is intended to serve as a forum for the treatment of imprecision and uncertainty in Artificial and Computational Intelligence, covering both the foundations of uncertainty theories, and the design of intelligent systems for scientific and engineering applications. It publishes high-quality research papers describing theoretical developments or innovative applications, as well as review articles on topics of general interest.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, probabilistic reasoning and Bayesian networks, imprecise probabilities, random sets, belief functions (Dempster-Shafer theory), possibility theory, fuzzy sets, rough sets, decision theory, non-additive measures and integrals, qualitative reasoning about uncertainty, comparative probability orderings, game-theoretic probability, default reasoning, nonstandard logics, argumentation systems, inconsistency tolerant reasoning, elicitation techniques, philosophical foundations and psychological models of uncertain reasoning.
Domains of application for uncertain reasoning systems include risk analysis and assessment, information retrieval and database design, information fusion, machine learning, data and web mining, computer vision, image and signal processing, intelligent data analysis, statistics, multi-agent systems, etc.
