Bandler–Kohout Subproduct With Yager’s Classes of Fuzzy Implications

The Bandler-Kohout subproduct (BKS) inference mechanism is one of the two established fuzzy relational inference (FRI) mechanisms; the other one being Zadeh's compositional rule of inference (CRI). Both these FRIs are known to possess many desirable properties. It can be seen that many of these desirable properties are due to the rich underlying structure, viz., the residuated algebra, from which the employed operations come. In this study, we discuss the BKS relational inference system, with the fuzzy implication interpreted as Yager's classes of implications, which do not form a residuated structure on [0,1] . We show that many of the desirable properties, viz., interpolativity, continuity, robustness, which are known for the BKS with residuated implications, are also available under this framework, thus expanding the choice of operations available to practitioners. Note that, to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first attempt at studying the suitability of an FRI where the operations come from a nonresiduated structure

Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computational Structures, FOSSACS 2021, which was held during March 27 until April 1, 2021, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Luxembourg and changed to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 28 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. They deal with research on theories and methods to support the analysis, integration, synthesis, transformation, and verification of programs and software systems

Algebraic structures from quantum and fuzzy logics

This thesis concerns the wide research area of logic. In particular, the first part is devoted to analyze different kinds of relational systems (orthogonal and residuated), by investigating the properties of the algebras associated to them. The second part is focused on algebras of logic, in particular, the relationship between prominent quantum and fuzzy structures with certain semirings is proved. The last chapter concerns an application of group theory to some well known mathematical puzzles
