TL;DR
The definition of the “and” operation in multivalued logic and decision making is investigated and a set of basic properties are suggested.
Abstract
Abstract We investigate the definition of the “and” operation in multivalued logic and decision making. A set of basic properties are suggested. Rules for selecting an appropriate operator are given. A general class of connectives is also suggested.

Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.

F fuzzy logic is used in this paper to describe an imprecise logical system, FL, in which the truth-values are fuzzy subsets of the unit interval with linguistic labels such as true, false, not true, very true, quite true, not very true and not very false, etc.

Fuzzy Sets and SystemsOn a general class of fuzzy connectives

A general class of conectives, intersection and union, are presented for fuzzy sets, and the properties of this class are studied in comparison to the ordinary intersection andunion.

The object of this paper is to show that these definitions of intersection A ∩ B and union A ∪ B of the two fuzzy sets A and B are not only natural, but under quite reasonable assumptions the only ones possible.
Fuzzy Sets and SystemsExploring the interface between hierarchies, multiple objectives and fuzzy sets
381 Citations1978Thomas L. Saaty
A method for measuring the relativity of fuzziness by structuring the functions of a system hierarchically in a multiple objective framework and composing the eigenvectors into a priority vector which measures the fuzziness of the elements in the lowest level of the hierarchy.
International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesFoundations of fuzzy reasoning
362 Citations1976Brian R. Gaines
The problem of borderline cases in set theory and the two classical approaches of precisifying them out, or admitting them as a third case, are discussed, leading to Zadeh's suggestion of continuous degrees of set membership.
Local and Fuzzy Logics
287 Citations1977Richard Bellman, Lotfi A. Zadeh
Fuzzy logic differs from conventional logical systems in that it aims at providing a model for approximate rather than precise reasoning.
International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesŁukasiewicz logic and fuzzy set theory
246 Citations1976R. G. F. GILES
A new form of logic is described, originally developed for the formalization of physical theories, the essential feature being a “fuzzification” of the concept of a proposition, which corresponds closely to the infinitevalued logic Ł α, of Łukasiewicz.

171 Citations1975Lai-Wo Fung, K. S. Fu
An axiomatic approach to rational decision making under uncertainty is presented and it is asserted that under these axioms the decision strategy can be either pessimistic, optimistic, or one of mixed type.

In this paper the methodology of Zadeh's fuzzy set theory is summarized and applied to fuzzy decision making.
International Journal of Man-Machine StudiesA measurement-informational discussion of fuzzy union and intersection
63 Citations1979Ronald R. Yager
It is shown that Zadeh's max and min operations are the only possible extension of the classic union and intersection operations which are meaningful in the face of ordinal information on degrees of membership.
Results of Empirical Studies in Fuzzy Set Theory
60 Citations1978H.-J. Zimmermann
Real human or social systems are more complex, need wider “scales” than “yes” or “no” and are sometimes very badly approximated by mathematical models.
International Symposium on Multiple-Valued LogicFuzzy reasoning and the logics of uncertainty
32 Citations1976Brian R. Gaines
It is argued that there are close links, both formal and semantic, between fuzzy logic and probability logics and the semantic significance of the constraints giving rise to different logics is discussed.
Fuzzy Sets and SystemsThe algebra of fuzzy logic
15 Citations1978Peter J. Albert
As will be proved, this algebra is not a lattice and consequently the Zadeh definitions do not constitute an adequate representation, and a new system of symbols is proposed in this paper.
