II. FUZZY LOGIC
Keywords— fuzzy logic, fuzzy sets type-2, fuzzy quantifiers, Zadeh[13] introduced the concept of a fuzzy set as a model
α-cut fuzzy set, fuzzy temporal set. fuzzy granular sets, fuzzy of a vague fact. The use of the fuzzy set theory for expert
rough sets system is now accepted because it is very convenient and
believable.
