Fuzzy Set Theory - and Its Applications

__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.

This textbook introduces the mathematics and application of fuzzy set theory without delving into highly theoretical areas or mathematical proofs which do not contribute to a better understanding of the subject. The fourth edition adds a chapter on fuzzy data bases and queries, and a section on defuzzification. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

New edition of a text explaining the theory's concepts and applications, and how they relate to their classical counterparts. Abundant examples show how the theory can be applied to the solution of realistic problems--and how it can lead to results not obtainable by classical methods. Although the field has rapidly evolved--fuzzy set theory, artificial neural net, and genetic algorithms have moved closed together and are now known as computational intelligence, this text continues to provide access at a basic level.
