Neutrality and Many-Valued Logics
In this book, we consider various many-valued logics: standard, linear,
hyperbolic, parabolic, non-Archimedean, p-adic, interval, neutrosophic, etc. We
survey also results which show the tree different proof-theoretic frameworks
for many-valued logics, e.g. frameworks of the following deductive calculi:
Hilbert's style, sequent, and hypersequent. We present a general way that
allows to construct systematically analytic calculi for a large family of
non-Archimedean many-valued logics: hyperrational-valued, hyperreal-valued, and
p-adic valued logics characterized by a special format of semantics with an
appropriate rejection of Archimedes' axiom. These logics are built as different
extensions of standard many-valued logics (namely, Lukasiewicz's, Goedel's,
Product, and Post's logics). The informal sense of Archimedes' axiom is that
anything can be measured by a ruler. Also logical multiple-validity without
Archimedes' axiom consists in that the set of truth values is infinite and it
is not well-founded and well-ordered. On the base of non-Archimedean valued
logics, we construct non-Archimedean valued interval neutrosophic logic INL by
which we can describe neutrality phenomena.Comment: 119 page
A Neutrosophic Description Logic
Description Logics (DLs) are appropriate, widely used, logics for managing
structured knowledge. They allow reasoning about individuals and concepts, i.e.
set of individuals with common properties. Typically, DLs are limited to
dealing with crisp, well defined concepts. That is, concepts for which the
problem whether an individual is an instance of it is yes/no question. More
often than not, the concepts encountered in the real world do not have a
precisely defined criteria of membership: we may say that an individual is an
instance of a concept only to a certain degree, depending on the individual's
properties. The DLs that deal with such fuzzy concepts are called fuzzy DLs. In
order to deal with fuzzy, incomplete, indeterminate and inconsistent concepts,
we need to extend the fuzzy DLs, combining the neutrosophic logic with a
classical DL. In particular, concepts become neutrosophic (here neutrosophic
means fuzzy, incomplete, indeterminate, and inconsistent), thus reasoning about
neutrosophic concepts is supported. We'll define its syntax, its semantics, and
describe its properties.Comment: 18 pages. Presented at the IEEE International Conference on Granular
