Fuzziness in Automata Theory: Why? How?

  • Chapter
On Fuzziness

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 298))

Abstract

The aim of this article is to explain why we study fuzzy automata and how we do it, i.e., to highlight the most efficient tools of the theory of fuzzy sets that we use in our research. In addition, we want to show how research in the theory of fuzzy automata affected our research in other areas of the theory of fuzzy sets.
