Fuzzy Automata Theory offers the first in-depth treatment of the theory and mathematics of fuzzy automata and fuzzy languages. It effectively compares and contrasts the different approaches used in fuzzy mathematics and automata and includes complete proofs of the theoretical results presented. More than 60 figures and 125 examples illustrate the results, and exercises in each chapter serve not only to test understanding, but also to present material not covered in detail within the text. Although the book is theoretical in nature, the authors also discuss applications in a variety of fields, including databases, medicine, learning systems, and pattern recognition.
