A mathematical technique for dealing with problems that have many solutions. Although fuzzy logic is implemented in digital computers which make only yes-no decisions, it works with ranges of values, ...

Identifying cancer cells in a medical image and altering the trajectory of airplanes at take-off and landing to reduce noise pollution are just two of the goals of new research projects based on the ...

Probably, we all agree that we should not see the world in black and white. One of our most important abilities as human beings, which separates us from machines, is the ability to see events as ...

One night in July, 1964, the logician Lotfi Zadeh found himself alone in his parents’ New York apartment, his dinner plans cancelled. At the time, Zadeh later wrote, he was doing “a lot of thinking ...

Complex fuzzy logic systems represent a significant evolution of classical fuzzy theory by assigning each element a complex-valued membership degree, incorporating both amplitude and phase. This ...

Then in the early 20th century, Jan Lukasiewicz proposed a three-valued logic (true, possible, false), which never gained wide acceptance. In 1965, Lotfi A. Zadeh of the University of California at ...

Lotfi Zadeh, the computer scientist and electrical engineer whose theories of “fuzzy logic” rippled across academia and industry, influencing everything from linguistics, economics and medicine to air ...
