Approximate reasoning with linguistic modifiers

摘要

Abstract We analyze the influence of some usual linguistic modifiers, such as scalar product, normalization, Bouchon-Meunier modifiers, perturbation, and (weakening and reinforcement) power, in the process of approximate reasoning and clarify the difference between the conclusions of fuzzy modus ponens in which linguistic modifiers appear and do not appear in premises. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
