The Inherent Indistinguishability in Fuzzy Systems

  • Chapter
Logic versus Approximation

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3075))

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of fuzzy systems from the viewpoint of similarity relations. Similarity relations turn out to be an appealing framework in which typical concepts and techniques applied in fuzzy systems and fuzzy control can be better understood and interpreted. They can also be used to describe the indistinguishability inherent in any fuzzy system that cannot be avoided.
