Continuous Logic and Scheduling in Systems with Indeterminate Processing Times
Issue: 3:1 (The ninth issue)
A general approach to the synthesis of an optimal order of executing jobs in engineering systems with indeterminate (interval) times of job processing is presented. As a mathematical model of the system, a two-stage pipeline is taken whose first and second stages are, respectively, the input of data and its processing, and the corresponding mathematical apparatus is continuous logic and logic determinants.
Many-Valued Logic in the Jewish Short Stories
Issue: 3:4 (The twelfth issue)
Jewish short stories (parables, tales, jokes, etc.) are explained from the viewpoint of many-valued logic. On the basis of some examples, we show, how their contents may be logically interpreted.
A Composition of Fuzzy Sets
Issue: 4:4 (The sixteenth issue)
A new operation on fuzzy sets – the r-composition of n-sets – is introduced. The particular cases of this operation are logical conjunction (r = 1) or disjunction (r = n). In the general case (1 < r < n), this operation is purely fuzzy and has no analogs among the operations on fuzzy sets. The operation of r-composition is applied to the solution of control problems under uncertainty.
