Editorial Reviews

A dozen self-contained chapters introduce university students, researchers, and engineers to recent and advanced developments in fuzzy set theory and its applications. They present new results on the foundation of the theory, decision making and systems science, and control and neural systems. The specific topics include closedness and upper semi-continuity of fuzzy multi- valued mappings, ethical and computational issues around information aggregation, the transitivity of fuzzy preference relations in ranking fuzzy numbers, and a possibilistic logic.
