Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fuzzy set theory (FST) started with L. A. Zadeh’s 1965 paper where he suggested the unit interval as a set of truth values instead of the classical binary Boolean algebra. This was followed by J. Goguen’s generalization (1967), replacing the unit interval by an abstract set L (which mostly is assumed to be a bounded lattice). Since then, fuzzy sets and some generalizations thereof (such as L-fuzzy sets or type-2 fuzzy sets) have been considered in a variety of fields, ranging from algebra, topology and category theory to measures, integrals, probability and statistics, and to decision making.

Zadeh’s paper on fuzzy sets also inspired the development of a discipline which today is known as Mathematical Fuzzy Logic (MFL). MFL moved its first steps at the beginning of the 1990’s when logical systems having the real unit interval as standard domain for truth-values, started to be systematically studied. These foundational issues are collected in two volumes which constitute the backbone of MFL: P. Hájek, "Metamathematics of Fuzzy Logic" (1998) and S. Gottwald, "A Treatise on Many-Valued Logics" (2001). Nowadays, MFL reaches other areas of pure and applied logic: proof theory, modal logics, first order logics and generalized quantifiers, game theory, and foundational issues.

The solid mathematical ground on which both FST and MFL are based, directly reveals that symmetry is a guiding inspiration for all researchers which are working on and contributing to the growth and the development of these areas. This Special Issue aims at collecting profound papers where the methods and inspiration are deeply related to the notion of symmetry.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

In this paper we continue to investigate weak pseudo-quasi-Wajsberg algebras which are called weak PQW-algebras for short.

In this paper we continue to investigate weak pseudo-quasi-Wajsberg algebras which are called weak PQW-algebras for short. First, some definitions are recalled and the basic properties of weak PQW-algebras are presented. Next, we define the notions of type-I filters, type-II filters, left weak filters and right weak filters of a weak PQW-algebra and study related properties of them. We also discuss the relation between normal filters and filter congruences on a weak PQW-algebra. Finally, we characterize the relationship between weak PQW-algebras and some bounded residuated quasi-ordered monoids with supplementary conditions. Full article

Our method for density elimination is generalized to the non-commutative substructural logic GpsUL * . Then, the standard completeness of HpsUL * follows as a lemma by virtue of previous work by Metcalfe and Montagna. This result shows that HpsUL * is the logic of pseudo-uninorms and their residua and answered the question posed by Prof. Metcalfe, Olivetti, Gabbay and Tsinakis. Full article
