Negation,

Conjunction, and Disjunction

The most basic logical operations are NOT (negation), AND (conjunc-

true.

X OR Y is true if and only if at least one of

X

or Y is true. We

need a means of evaluating the results of these operations when

dealing with fuzzy sets.

There is actually a fantastic array of choices for computing

fuzzy logical operations. Many of them even have practical use. For

an extensive list of the possibilities, alon ...
