Closure Operators and Fuzzy logic (An abstract approach to fuzzy logic based on closure operators in accordance with Tarski’s point of view. A fuzzy logic is a continuous operators, we call “immediate consequence operator” in the class of all fuzzy subsets of the set of sentences of a given language. A theory is a fixed point of such an operator)

- L. Biacino, G. Gerla, Closure Operators in fuzzy set theory. (The basic definitions)

- G. GerlaClosure Operators, Fuzzy Logic and Constraints (Fuzzy logic is a tool to manage information on the truth values of the formulas, i.e. to manage constraints on truth values)

- G. GerlaStratified operators and graded consequence operator. (The theory of the fuzzy closure operators is related with the theory of graded consequences relations)

- L. Biacino, G. GerlaNecessities generated by an initial valuation Busefal 41 (1989), 7-14 (The class of necessities is considered as a closure systems)

- G. Gerla, Fuzzy Metalogic for Crisp Logics (One considers fuzzy logics arising from a fuzzyfication of the main metalogic notions)

 

 

Extension Principle.  (A general extension principle for closure operators is proposed. This enables us to extend several notion in classical mathematics to the fuzzy framework. In particular we show that it is possible to extend any classical inferential apparatus into a fuzzy inferential apparatus)

- G. Gerla, Closure Operators: an extension principle. (The basic definitions)

- L. Biacino, G. Gerla, An extension principle for closure operators.

- G. Gerla, L. ScarpatiExtension Principles for Fuzzy Set Theory.

 

 

Similarity-based Fuzzy Logic  (A fuzzy logic is proposed in which the unification is based on the similarity between two predicate and not on the perfect matching)

C. Crisconio, G. Gerla, Similarities and fuzzy orders in approximate reasoning, New logic for the New economy, Ed. Scientifiche Italiane.

- G. Gerla, M. Scarpati, Galois connection among fuzzy groups and similarities (any similarity defines a fuzzy group and conversely)

- F. Formato, G. Gerla, L. Scarpati, Fuzzy subgroups and similarities

- G. Gerla, Representation theorems for Fuzzy orders and Quasimetrics. (fuzzy orders are represented as fuzzy inclusions and related with non symmetric distances. Unfortunately, I discovered that all the results were long time proved by Dr. Ulrich Bodenhofer in a series of beatiful papers).

- G. Gerla, Connecting fuzzy submonoids, fuzzy preorders and quasimetrics (any fuzzy preorder defines a fuzzy submonoid and conversely).

 

 

Fuzzy Control based on Fuzzy Logic Programming (One proves that the system of rules in the implication-based and triangular norm-based fuzzy control can be interpreted as fuzzy programs. This gives, in my opinion, a rigorous interpretation of fuzzy control as a chapter of formal logic. Also, this suggests several new tools and possibilities for fuzzy control)

- G. Gerla, Approximate reasoning to unify norm based and implication-based fuzzy control.

- G. GerlaFuzzy Control as a fuzzy Deduction System.

- G. GerlaFuzzy Logic Programming and Fuzzy Control.

- G. GerlaFuzzy Control and Fuzzy Logic Programming by Mathematica.  (An implementation in Mathematica of classical logic programming and fuzzy logic programming is proposed)

- G. Gerla, , Poincaré Paradox   (Poincaré paradox about the indiscernibility. A solution of such a paradox is proposed which is based on fuzzy logic and point-free geometry.

 

 

Point-free Geometry (In accordance with a proposal of Whitehead in “Process and Reality”, one consider some possible approaches to geometry in which the regions are assumed as primitives and the points are defined by “abstraction processes”, i.e. by considering suitable sequences of regions). I suggest to read the expository chapter I write for the Handbook of incidence geometry

- G. Gerla, A. Miranda, Graded inclusion and point-free geometry. (The primitives are the regions and a graded inclusion relation).

- L. Biacino, G. Gerla, Connection structures. (The primitives are the regions and the connection relation, i.e. contact or overlapping relation).

- L. Biacino, G. Gerla, Connection structures: Grzegorczyk’s and Whitehead’s Definitions of point. (One consider different definitions of point in point-free geometry)

- G. Gerla, Point-free geometry. (A chapter on point-free geometry from the Handbook of incidence geometry by Buekenhout F. and Kantor W. (1995).

- G. Gerla, Pointless Metric Spaces. (The primitives are the regions, the diameter and the inferior distance between regions)

- G. Gerla, R. Volpe, Geometry Without Points. (A brief introduction)

- G. Gerla, Diameter and Distances in Fuzzy Spaces. (As an example of pointless metric space, we define the notions of diameter and distance in the class of fuzzy subsets of a metric space)

  NOTA: Si suggerisce anche di leggere l’interessante tesi di laurea magistrale del Dott. A. Pecoraro di cui sono stato relatore

A. Pecoraro, Formalizzazione della geometria senza punti di A. N. Whitehead

 

 

Modal logic

- G. Gerla, A Note on the Principle of Predication. (One proves that the Principle of Predication in Modal logic about De Dicto modalities is unsound)

- G. Gerla,  Transformational semantics for first order modal logic. (The claim that it “is possible A” in the world w is interpreted as “it is possible to transform w into a world in which A is true”. So, any group of transformation gives a modality).
