On BL-Algebras and its Interval Counterpart

ABSTRACT

Interval Fuzzy Logic and Interval-valued Fuzzy Sets have been widely investigated. Some Fuzzy Logics were algebraically modeled by Peter Hájek as BL-algebras. What is the algebraic counterpart for the interval setting? It is known from the literature that there is an incompatibility between some algebraic structures and its interval counterpart. This paper shows that such incompatibility is also present in the level of BL-algebras. Here we show both: (1) the impossibility of match imprecision and the correctness of the underlying BL-implication and (2) some facts about the intervalization of BL-algebras.

Keywords:
Fuzzy Logic; BL-Algebras; intervals; correctness principle
