Fuzzy Sets and SystemsFuzzy sets as a basis for a theory of possibility
7,280 Citations1999Lotfi A. Zadeh
The theory of possibility described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets by defining the concept of a possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable.

A distinctive feature of the present approach is a rule for conditioning, or more generally, arule for combining sources of information, as discussed in Sects.
International Journal of Systems ScienceOperations on fuzzy numbers
2,631 Citations1978Didier Dubois, Henri Prade
The usual algebraic operations on real numbers are extended to fuzzy numbers by the use of a fuzzification principle, and the practical use of fuzzified operations is shown to be easy, requiring no more computation than when dealing with error intervals in classic tolerance analysis.

In addition to serving as a foundation for approximate reasoning, PRUF may be employed as a language for the representation of imprecise knowledge and as a means of precisiation of fuzzy propositions expressed in a natural language.

This paper presents a meta-modelling framework for the design of feedback algorithms implementing the experience of a human operator in the feedback loop based upon the fuzzy set theory and possibility theory.

330 Citations1982Didier Dubois, Henri Prade
An axiomatic approach to a broad class of fuzzy measures in the sense of Sugeno is presented via the concept of triangular norm (t-norm for short), which encompasses probability measures, Zadeh's possibility measures and the dual notion of necessity measures.

255 Citations1983Didier Dubois, Henri Prade
A bijective mapping is defined which turns a probability measure into a possibility measure and corresponds to the usual assignment of identical probability values to elementary events of a given set when no information is available.

A method for estimating a project completion time in the situation when activity duration times in the project network model are given in the form of fuzzy variables—fuzzy sets on time space is presented.

An analytic derivation of path optimality indices for directed, acyclic networks for stochastic shortest route analysis is presented and UDCs are shown to be important to the efficient implementation of the prescribed analytic procedure.
