Truth Values and Tables in Fuzzy Logic

Fuzzy Logic uses linguistic variables. A linguistic variable is a variable whose values are sentences in a natural or artificial language.
i.e., height is a linguistic variable if it takes values such as tall, medium, short, very tall, and so..
It provides approximate characterization of a complex problem.
A part from the linguistic variables there exists what are called as linguistic hedges (linguistic modifiers).
i.e., in the fuzzy set very tall, the word very is a linguistic hedge. A popular linguistic hedges include : very, highly, slightly, moderately, plus, minus, fairly, rather.
Reasoning has logic as its basis, whereas propositions are text sentences expressed in any language and are generally expressed in an canonical form as Z is P, Where
Z = symbol of the subject P = predicate designing the characteristics of the subject
For extending the reasoning capability fuzzy logic uses following propositions:
1) Fuzzy Predicate: In fuzzy logic, the predicate can be fuzzy. For example short, tall, high.. 2) Fuzzy-predicate modifiers: It acts as hedges, for example very high, very fairly, moderately,..
These are necessary for generating the values of a linguistic variable.
Fuzzy Propositions
3) Fuzzy quantifiers: such as most, several, many,.. 4) Fuzzy qualifiers:

1) 2) 3) Fuzzy truth qualification
NOT very true
Fuzzy probability qualification

Likely, very likely, unlikely
Fuzzy possibility qualification

possible, quite possible, Almost Impossible
4)
Fuzzy usually qualification

High probability of occurrence, usually
Formation of Rules (Fuzzy Rule Based System)

The general way of representing human knowledge is by forming natural language expressions given by IF antecedent THEN consequent. It is referred to as the IF-THEN rule based form. There are three general forms that exist for any linguistic variable. They are: Assignment statements; Conditional statements; Unconditional statements; Statements are connected by linguistic connectives such as and, or, or else.
Decomposition of Rules (Compound Rules)

It is a collection of many simple rules combined together. Any compound rule structure may be decomposed and reduced to a number of simple canonical rule forms. The following are the methods used for decomposition of compound linguistic rules into simple canonical rules. 1. Multiple conjunctive antecedents 2. Multiple disjunctive antecedents 3. Conditional statements (with ELSE and UNLESS) 4. Nested IF-THEN rules
1. Multiple conjunctive antecedents

IF x is A1, A2, . . . . . . , An THEN y is Bm. Assume a new fuzzy subset Am defined as Am = A1 A2 . . . . . An and expressed by means of membership function Am(x) = min [A1(x), A2(x), . . . , An(x)] . In view of the fuzzy intersection operation, the compound rule may be rewritten as IF Am THEN Bm.
2. Multiple disjunctive antecedents

IF x is A1, OR x is A2, . . . . . . , OR x is An THEN y is Bm. Assume a new fuzzy subset Am defined as A m = A1 U A2 U . . . . . U An and expressed by means of membership function Am(x) = max [A1(x), A2(x), . . . , An(x)] . In view of the fuzzy union operation, the compound rule may be rewritten as IF Am THEN Bm.
3. Conditional statements (with ELSE and UNLESS)

IF A1 THEN ( B1 ELSE B2 ) Can be decomposed into two simple canonical rule forms, connected by OR: IF A1 THEN B1 OR IF NOT A1 THEN B2 IF A1 ( THEN B1 ) UNLESS A2 Can be decomposed as IF A1 THEN B1 OR IF A2 THEN NOT B1
4. Nested IF - THEN rules:

The rule IF A1 THEN [ IF A2 THEN ( B1 ) ] Can be form as IF A1 AND IF A2 THEN B1.
Aggregation of Fuzzy Rules

The Rule based system involves more than one rule. Aggregation of rules is the process of obtaining the overall consequents from the individual consequents provided by each rule. The following two methods exists that aid in determining the aggregation of fuzzy rules:
1. Conjunctive System of Rules 2. Disjunctive System of Rules
Aggregation of Fuzzy Rules

1. Conjunctive System of Rules Rules are connected by and y = y1 y2 . . . . . yn y(y) = min [y1(y), y2(y), . . . , yn(y)] for y Y. 1. Disjunctive System of Rules Rules are connected by or y = y1 U y2 U . . . . . U yn y(y) = max [y1(y), y2(y), . . . , yn(y)] for y Y.
Fuzzy Reasoning (Approximate Reasoning)

Fuzzy reasoning is the collection of Formation of Rules, Decomposition of Rules and Aggregation of Rules. There exists four modes of fuzzy approximate reasoning, which include:
1) 2) 3) 4) Categorical reasoning Qualitative reasoning Syllogistic reasoning Dispositional reasoning
1. Categorical Reasoning
In this type of Reasoning, the antecedents contain no fuzzy quantifiers and fuzzy probabilities. The antecedents are assumed to be in canonical form. Consider, L, M, N, .. = fuzzy variable taking in the universes U, V, W;
A, B, C = fuzzy predicates. 1) The Projection rule of inference is defined by L, M, is R L is [R L] Where [R L] denotes the projection of fuzzy relation R on L.
2) The conjunction rule of inference is given by L is A, L is B => L is A B (L, M) is A, L is B => (L, M) is A (B x V) (L,M) is A, (M,N) is B=>(L,M,N) is (A x W)(U x B) 3) The disjunction rule of inference is given by L is A OR L is B => L is A x B L is A, M is B => (L, M) is A x B 4) The negative rule of inference is given by NOT (L is A) => L is
5) The compositional rule of inference is given by L is A, (L, M) is R => M is A R 6) The extension principle is defined as L is A => f(L) is f(A)
Where f is a mapping from u to v so that L is mapped into f(L); and based on the extension principle, the membership function of f(A) is defined as
f(A) (v) =
Sup A(u)
v=1 f(u)
u U, v V.
2. Qualitative Reasoning In qualitative reasoning the input-output relationship of a system is expressed as a collection of fuzzy IF THEN rules. Qualitative reasoning is widely used in control system analysis. Let A and B is the fuzzy input variables and C is the fuzzy output variable; If A is x1 AND B is y1 , THEN C is z1. If A is x2 AND B is y2 , THEN C is z2. . . . If A is xn AND B is yn , THEN C is zn.
3. Syllogistic Reasoning In syllogistic reasoning, antecedents with fuzzy quantifiers are related to inference rules. x = k1 As are Bs y = k2 Cs are Ds z = k3 Es are Fs In the above A, B, C, D, E and F are fuzzy predicates; k1 and k2 are given fuzzy quantifiers and k3 is the fuzzy quantifier which has to be decided. All the fuzzy predicates provide a collection of fuzzy syllogisms. These syllogisms create a set of inference rules, which combines evidence through conjunction and disjunction. i. Produce syllogism: C A B, F = C D ii. Chaining syllogism: C = B, F = D, E = A iii. Consequent conjunction syllogism: F = B D, A = C = E iv. Consequent disjunction syllogism: F = B v D, A = C = E v. Precondition conjunction syllogism: E = A C, B = D = F vi. Precondition disjunction syllogism: E = A v C, B = D = F
4. Dispositional Reasoning In this kind of reasoning, the antecedents are dispositions that may contain, implicitly or explicitly, the fuzzy quantifier usually. Usuality plays a major role in dispositional reasoning and it links together the dispositional and syllogistic modes of reasoning. 1) Dispositional projection rule of inference: Usually ((L, M) is R) => usually ( L is [R L]) 2) Dispositional chaining hypersyllogism: k1 As are Bs, k2 Bs are Cs, usually (B subset A) Usually ( (k1 () k2 ) As are Cs are). 3) Dispositional consequent conjunction syllogism: Usually ( As are Bs), usually (As are Cs) => ( 2 usually (-) 1 ( As are (B and C)s ) is a specific case of dispositional reasoning. 4) Dispositional entailment rule of inference: Usually (x is A), A subset B => usually ( x is B) X is A, usually (A subset B) => usually ( x is B) Usually (x is A), usually (A subset B) => usually2 ( x is B) is the dispositional entailment rule of inference. Here usually2 is less specific than usually.
