Mathematics of Fuzziness-Basic Issues / Edition 1

by Xuzhu Wang, Da Ruan, Etienne E. Kerre

Overview

Mathematics of Fuzziness – Basic Issues introduces a basic notion of ‘fuzziness’ and provides a conceptual mathematical framework to characterize such fuzzy phenomena in Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing. The book systematically presents a self-contained introduction to the essentials of mathematics of fuzziness ranging from fuzzy sets, fuzzy relations, fuzzy numbers, fuzzy algebra, fuzzy measures, fuzzy integrals, and fuzzy topology to fuzzy control in a strictly mathematical manner. It contains most of the authors’ research results in the field of fuzzy set theory and has evolved from the authors’ lecture notes to both undergraduate and graduate students over the last three decades. A lot of exercises in each chapter of the book are particularly suitable as a textbook for any undergraduate and graduate student in mathematics, computer science and engineering. The reading of the book will surely lay a solid foundation for further research on fuzzy set theory and its applications.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews: “Aptly titled, it is an interesting undergraduate course resource for those who are just getting their feet wet in the study of fuzziness. … All basic concepts are duly presented … . authors manage to marry two things that other textbooks fail to: extensive coverage of topics in only 200 pages in combination with a wealth of end-of-chapter exercises. … reviewer wishes that this volume was available when he was an undergrad! Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and general readers.” (G. Trajkovski, Choice, Vol. 47 (3), November, 2009)
