Is there a need for fuzzy logic

Toward a perception-based theory of probabilistic reasoning with imprecise probabilities

We discuss Zadeh's paradigm of computing with words and indicate the three important stages. We focus on the retranslation process, selecting a term from our prescribed vocabulary to express information represented using fuzzy sets. A number of criteria of concern in this retranslation process are introduced. Some of these criteria can be seen to correspond to a desire to accurately reflect the given information. Other criteria may correspond to a desire, on the part of the provider of the information, to give a particular perception or "spin". These types of criteria can be of particular importance in many types of information warfare. We discuss some methods for combining these criteria to evaluate potential retranslations.

On the retranslation process in Zadeh's paradigm of computing with words

Approximate reasoning with generalized orthopair fuzzy sets

We consider the problem of multicriteria decision making (MCDM) in the situation in which there exists a prioritization of criteria. A good example of prioritization among criteria occurs in the case of air travel, where concerns about passenger safety have a higher priority then economic concerns. Tradeoffs between saving on gasoline usage and jeopardizing passenger safety are unacceptable. We show how this prioritization of criteria can be modeled by using importance weights in which the weights associated with the lower priority criteria are related to the satisfaction of the higher priority criteria. We provide some models that allow for the formalization of these prioritized MCDM problems using both the Bellman-Zadeh paradigm for MCDM and the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator method.
