Applications of Fuzzy Logic In Boolean logic, everything is either true or false. If a situation is true then it is not false. There is an “absolute truth.” Boolean logic was traditionally used as a language to describe mathematical processes. Human reasoning does not use Boolean logic. Not everything is black or white. Some things are known with more or less certainty than others. And some things are known as certainly true or false. Fuzzy logic is an extension of Boolean logic used to describe environments where there is no absolute truth and there is uncertainty. Boolean logic- A system of logic that is based on Boolean algebra, named after George Boole. It deals with two truth values: ‘true’ and ‘false’. According to Boolean logic every statement one makes is either true or false with nothing in between. The Boolean conditions of true and false are often represented by 1 for ‘true’ and 0 for ‘false’. For example: the statement “Bob’s hair is blond” will either be true, Bob’s hair is blond or false, Bob’s hair is not blond. The statements one makes are called propositions. Logical operators are used to put together propositions. These operators include “and,” “or,” “not,” and “implication.” For example: A and B, A or B, A implies B. Statements are a combination of the proposition and the operators. The combined statements must also have a truth value. To define how a statement works the function of the operator must be defined. This can be shown with a truth table: A B A and B A or B A = B 0 0 0 0 1 O 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 The only case where implication A = B is false is when hypothesis A is true but conclusion B is false. In this case, the rule A = B is false because there is a “counter example” to the rule. There exist many problems with Boolean logic. Human knowledge is not always black and white. For example: Joe is rich. This statement cannot be evaluated as just true or false. Different degrees of richness based on income exist. There are ce
