Abstract

This paper introduces cut sets of fuzzy concepts and fuzzy roles as atomic concepts and atomic roles to build extended fuzzy \(\cal{ALCH}\) \(\cal{(EFALCH)}\), a new fuzzy extension of \(\cal{ALCH}\). It talks about two reasoning methods for \(\cal{ EFALCH}\). The first one presents a sound and complete algorithm for \(\cal{EFALCH}\) reasoning tasks and proves the complexity is PSPACE-complete. The second one reduces \(\cal{EFALCH}\) into \(\cal{ ALCH}\), which can be performed in polynomial time and keep the semantic consistency, and then uses \(\cal{ALCH}\) reasoning method to solve \(\cal{EFALCH}\) reasoning tasks.
