Fuzzy Relational Products as a Tool for Analysis and Synthesis of the Behaviour of Complex Natural and Artificial Systems

  • Chapter
Fuzzy Sets

Abstract

Increasingly complex interaction between man and nature, increasingly complex interaction between man and man-made artificial systems, make it increasingly difficult to comprehend the consequences of changes in all these systems, to analyze them, to understand their dynamics, to influence their behaviour.
