On Fuzzy Quantifiers
Abstract
First, A.Mostowski’s concept of generalized quantifiers introduced in 1957 has been translated into fuzzy logic and has been compared with the concept of fuzzy quantifiers that was introduced by L.A.Zadeh in 1983 and has been investigated by him, by R.R.Yager and others in the following years. Secondly, using the notions of T-norm and S-norm a new class of fuzzy universal and existential quantifiers, respectively, has been created.
Thirdly, there are approaches for defining fuzzy quantifiers like “almost all,” “most,” and “many” in arbitrary universes, where the quantifier “almost-all” is used as basic quantifier.
