Fuzzy induction method and its application for knowledge and information systems modeling

This article presents a method of fuzzy induction developed by the author, integrating concepts from fuzzy mathematics and fractal theory. It introduces the notion of the recursion degree of a fuzzy set and provides a description of the incomplete recursion of a set as its fractional dimension for modeling a subject area. As an application domain for the proposed method and the knowledge models created based on it as fuzzy sets, we consider life cycle management […]
