Fuzzy Logic and Approximate Reasoning

bookFuzzy AND, OR, and NOT Operators

As you move from classical logic into fuzzy logic, you will notice that the familiar logical operators — AND, OR, and NOT — are adapted to handle degrees of truth rather than just absolute true or false values. In classical logic, the AND operator returns true only if both inputs are true, OR returns true if at least one input is true, and NOT simply inverts the truth value. Fuzzy logic generalizes these operations to work with values anywhere between 0 and 1, representing partial truth.

The fuzzy AND operator is typically defined as the minimum of the two membership values. This means that the combined degree of membership is as strong as the weakest input. If you have two fuzzy sets, the degree to which an element belongs to their intersection is the lower of the two membership values.

The fuzzy OR operator, in contrast, is defined as the maximum of the two membership values. Here, the combined degree of membership is as strong as the strongest input. For the union of two fuzzy sets, the membership degree for each element is the higher of the two.

The fuzzy NOT operator is defined as one minus the membership value. This gives you the degree to which an element does not belong to a fuzzy set, smoothly inverting the truth degree.

These operators allow you to combine fuzzy sets and conditions in a way that reflects real-world vagueness and partial truths, rather than forcing a strict true/false outcome. By using the min, max, and complement (1-x) operations, fuzzy logic preserves the intuitive relationships among combined conditions, even when the inputs are themselves uncertain or imprecise.
