Leading researchers examine the usefulness and limitations of fuzzy logic for the psychology of concepts.The classical view of concepts in psychology was challenged in the 1970s when experimental evi …

In 1992 we published a book entitled Fuzzy Measure Theory (Plenum Press, New York), in which the term »fuzzy measure» was used for set functions obtained by replacing the additivity requirement of …

Engineers and scientists often need to solve complex problems with incomplete information resources, necessitating a proper treatment of uncertainty and a reliance on expert opinions. Uncertainty Mod …

One criterion for classifying books is whether they are written for a single pur- pose or for multiple purposes. This book belongs to the category of multipurpose books, but one of its roles is predo …

This book has a rather strange history. It began in spring 1989, thirteen years after our Systems Science Department at SUNY-Binghamton was established, when I was asked by a group of students in our …

Providing the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, this groundbreaking work is solidly founded on a decade of concentrated research, some of which is published here for the first time, as we …

This book is a foundational study of causality as conceived in the mathematical sciences. It is shown that modern mathematical dynamics involves a formulation of the fundamental concept of causality, …

The book attempts to develop an account of simplicity in terms of testability, and to use this account to provide an adequate characterization of induction, one immune to the class of problems sugges …

One of the most fundamental and efficient ways of conceptualizing complex systems is to organize them hierarchically. A hierarchically organized system is represented by a network of interconnected s …

Information is precious. It reduces our uncertainty in making decisions. Knowledge about the outcome of an uncertain event gives the possessor an advantage. It changes the course of lives, nations, a …

This book consists of selected papers written by the founder of fuzzy set theory, Lotfi A Zadeh. Since Zadeh is not only the founder of this field, but has also been the principal contributor to its …
