Fuzzy Set Theory: Basic Concepts, Techniques and Bibliography by R. Lowen (Engli

Description: Fuzzy Set Theory by R. Lowen The purpose of this book is to provide the reader who is interested in applications of fuzzy set theory, in the first place with a text to which he or she can refer for the basic theoretical ideas, concepts and techniques in this field and in the second place with a vast and up to date account of the literature. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This text introduces the reader to basic concepts and techniques in the field of fuzzy sets and gives an account of the literature. It does not treat applications, but rather provides a theoretical foundation for applying fuzzy set theory. The main topics which are treated are: basic set theory, basic lattice theory, operations on fuzzy sets, t-norms and t-conorms, special types of fuzzy sets, fuzzy relations, functions working on fuzzy sets, fuzzy real numbers (both probabilistic and non-probabilistic), basic classical logic and fundamentals concerning fuzzy logic. This volume is intended for researchers working in the areas of engineering, data analysis, control theory, pattern recognition, neural networks, clustering, expert systems, information retrieval, operations research, decision-making, image and signal processing, and for those who require more information on the set-theoretical basics on which fuzzy set theory is founded. Author Biography Rainer Lowen is Full Professor of Mathematics at Institut fur Analysis und Algebra, Universitat Braunschweig, Germany.

Long Description The purpose of this book is to provide the reader who is interested in applications of fuzzy set theory, in the first place with a text to which he or she can refer for the basic theoretical ideas, concepts and techniques in this field and in the second place with a vast and up to date account of the literature. Although there are now many books about fuzzy set theory, and mainly about its applications, e. g. in control theory, there is not really a book available which introduces the elementary theory of fuzzy sets, in what I would like to call "a good degree of generality". To write a book which would treat the entire range of results concerning the basic theoretical concepts in great detail and which would also deal with all possible variants and alternatives of the theory, such as e. g. rough sets and L-fuzzy sets for arbitrary lattices L, with the possibility-probability theories and interpretations, with the foundation of fuzzy set theory via multi-valued logic or via categorical methods and so on, would have been an altogether different project. This book is far more modest in its mathematical content and in its scope. Details ISBN0792340574 Author R.
