Abstract

The study of fuzziness in combinational switching systems by means of a suitable fuzzy algebra is discussed. The insufficiency of the methods for simplification of fuzzy functions as presented by Lee and Chang [9] and by Siy and Chen [10] is discussed. A new technique for minimization of fuzzy functions is developed. Special properties of fuzzy functions are discussed and their relationships to two-valued logic are investigated.
