A Reflection on Fuzzy Conditionals

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Combining Experimentation and Theory

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 271))

Abstract

This chapter is just a reflection on some theoretical aspects dealing with the representation in fuzzy terms of imprecise linguistic rules. Namely, it deals with the functions able to represent ‘rules’, or fuzzy conditionals, whose election at each case not only depends on the problem’s context, but on the kind of reasoning intended for its use. Some results on the suitability of Mamdani-Larsen type conditionals are presented.
