Fuzzy Sets and Formal Logics
The paper discusses the relationship between fuzzy sets and formal logics as well as the influences fuzzy set theory had on the development of particular formal logics. Our focus is on the historical side of these developments. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

The variety generated by all the ordinal sums of perfect MV-chains
We present the logic BL_Chang, an axiomatic extension of BL (see P. H\'ajek -
Metamathematics of fuzzy logic - 1998, Kluwer) whose corresponding algebras
form the smallest variety containing all the ordinal sums of perfect MV-chains.
We will analyze this logic and the corresponding algebraic semantics in the
propositional and in the first-order case. As we will see, moreover, the
variety of BL_Chang-algebras will be strictly connected to the one generated by
Chang's MV-algebra (that is, the variety generated by all the perfect
MV-algebras): we will also give some new results concerning these last
structures and their logic.Comment: This is a revised version of the previous paper: the modifications
concern essentially the presentation. The scientific content is substantially
unchanged. The major variations are: Definition 2.7 has been improved.
Section 3.1 has been made more compact. A new reference, [Bus04], has been
added. There is some minor modification in Section 3.
On completeness results for predicate lukasiewicz, product, gödel and nilpotent minimum logics expanded with truth-constants
In this paper we deal with generic expansions of first-order predicate logics of some left-continuous t-norms with a countable set of truth-constants. Besides already known results for the case of Lukasiewicz logic, we obtain new conservativeness and completeness results for some other expansions. Namely, we prove that the expansions of predicate Product, Gödel and Nilpotent Minimum logics with truth-constants are conservative, which already implies the failure of standard completeness for the case of Product logic. In contrast, the expansions of predicate Gödel and Nilpotent Minimum logics are proved to be strong standard complete but, when the semantics is restricted to the canonical algebra, they are proved to be complete only for tautologies. Moreover, when the language is restricted to evaluated formulae we prove canonical completeness for deductions from finite sets of premises.Peer Reviewe
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
