Abstract
Fuzzy Set Theory - And Its Applications, Third Edition is a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory. It can also be used as an introduction to the subject. The character of a textbook is balanced with the dynamic nature of the research in the field by including many useful references to develop a deeper understanding among interested readers. The book updates the research agenda (which has witnessed profound and startling advances since its inception some 30 years ago) with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy data analysis, decision making and fuzzy set models in operations research. All chapters have been updated. Exercises are included.

Modelling Environmental Responses of Plant Associations: A Review of Some Critical Concepts in Vegetation Study

TL;DR: It is believed that plant associations as well as the higher syntaxa can be regarded as fuzzy sets in an operational context for describing vegetation along ecological gradients in synthetic ways and can further the understanding of vegetation variation.

A new approach on solving intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem

An investigation of fuzzy multiple heuristic orderings in the construction of university examination timetables

TL;DR: An investigation into using fuzzy methodologies to guide the construction of high quality feasible examination timetabling solutions concludes that this novel fuzzy approach is a highly effective method for heuristically constructing solutions and has particular relevance to real-world situations in which theConstruction of feasible solutions is often a difficult task in its own right.

Decision-making in a fuzzy environment

TL;DR: A reverse-flow technique is described for the solution of a functional equation arising in connection with a decision process in which the termination time is defined implicitly by the condition that the process stops when the system under control enters a specified set of states in its state space.

Marvin Minsky
TL;DR: The enormous problem of the volume of background common sense knowledge required to understand even very simple natural language texts is discussed and it is suggested that networks of frames are a reasonable approach to represent such knowledge.

Fuzzy programming and linear programming with several objective functions

TL;DR: It is shown that solutions obtained by fuzzy linear programming are always efficient solutions and the consequences of using different ways of combining individual objective functions in order to determine an “optimal” compromise solution are shown.
