Abstract

We look at the representation within the framework of the approximate reasoning of relational type rules. A relational production rule consists of a rule in which one of the antecedent requirements involves the satisfaction of a relationship between two variables. An example of this type of rule is if lower and upper bounds are close then the uncertainty is low.
