Abstract

Several fuzzifications of formal concept analysis have been proposed to deal with uncertainty or incomplete information. In this paper, we focus on the new paradigm of multi-adjoint concept lattices which embeds different fuzzy extensions of concept lattices, our main result being the representation theorem of this paradigm. As a consequence of this theorem, the representation theorems of the other paradigms can be proved more directly. Moreover, the multi-adjoint paradigm enriches the language providing greater flexibility to the user.
