Course content
Structures of truth degrees: Residuated lattices and their properties. Subclasses of residuated lattices given by identities: MTL-algebras, BL-algebras, MV-algebras, G-algebras, Pi-algebras, and others. Filters on residuated lattices. Subdirect representation of MTL and BL-algebras. Propositional BL-logic and its schematic extensions: Language of BL-logic, formulas, axiomatic systems. Derived logical connectives. Provability, deduction theorem. Soundness and completeness of BL-logic. Schematic extensions, Lukasiewicz logic, Goedel logic, product logic, and their standard completeness. Pavelka's abstract logic: Logic with truth-weighted syntax. Theories as fuzzy sets of formulas. Truth-weighted proofs and provability degrees. General concepts of soundness and completeness in Pavelka-style logics. Examples of Pavelka-complete calculi: propositional Pavelka Rational Logic (RPL) and its completeness (via BL). Predicate BL-logic and further logics: Fuzzy structures and safe interpretations. Completeness of predicate BL-logic. Propositional and predicate MTL-logic. Extension of fuzzy logics by unary connectives (Baaz's delta connective). Fuzzy logic vs. modalities and generalized quantifiers. Fuzzy logic calculi over restricted types of formulas: fuzzy equational logic, fuzzy horn logic, logic of fuzzy attribute implications. Fuzzy structures and their properties: Fuzzy sets and fuzzy relations (in naive sense) as particular fuzzy structures. Properties of fuzzy structures. Representation of fuzzy structures by classical sets (cutlike representation). Special fuzzy relations: similarity and fuzzy equality. Compatibility and similarity preservation. Cutlike semantics.
