Abstract

A kind of classification on temporal relations of propositions is presented. By introducing temporal approaching relation, a new temporal logic based on time-point and time-interval is proposed, which can describe uncertain temporal relations. Finally, some properties of temporal proposition under uncertain relations are proposed.
