Exercise Sheet 1 – Fuzzy Logic


Dr.-Ing. Stefan Borgwardt

Exercise 1.1 For all X ∈ {G, Π, Ł}, show that ⊗X is actually a t-norm, and that ⇒X, X, ⊕X are the
residuum, precomplement, and t-conorm, respectively, of ⊗X.

Exercise 1.2 Prove the following:

(a) Every t-norm ⊗ is compatible with classical conjunction on {0, 1}, i.e.
(0 ⊗ 0) = (1 ⊗ 0) = (0 ⊗ 1) = 0 and (1 ⊗ 1) = 1.

(b) For every continuous t-norm ⊗, the residuum ⇒, precomplement , and t-conorm ⊕ are
compatible with classical implication, negation, and disjunction, respectively, on {0, 1}.

(c) All t-norms agree on the “border region” of [0, 1] × [0, 1], i.e. for any two t-norms ⊗, ⊗0 and
values x, y ∈ [0, 1] where either x ∈ {0, 1} or y ∈ {0, 1}, we have x ⊗ y = x ⊗0 y.

Exercise 1.3 A partial order on the set of all t-norms can be defined by comparing t-norms ⊗1, ⊗2
point-wise: We write ⊗1 ≤ ⊗2 if, for all x, y ∈ [0, 1], we have x ⊗1 y ≤ x ⊗2 y.

(a) Find two t-norms ⊗min and ⊗max such that every t-norm ⊗ satisfies ⊗min ≤ ⊗ ≤ ⊗max.

(b) Are there continuous t-norms ⊗min and ⊗max such that every continuous t-norm ⊗ satisfies
⊗min ≤ ⊗ ≤ ⊗max?

Exercise 1.4 For a t-norm ⊗, an element x ∈ [0, 1] is idempotent if x ⊗ x = x.

(a) What are the idempotent elements of the three basic t-norms?

(b) What are the idempotent elements of an ordinal sum?

(c) Prove: If all x ∈ [0, 1] are idempotent, then ⊗ is the Gödel t-norm.

Exercise 1.5 For a t-norm ⊗, an element x ∈ (0, 1] is nilpotent if there exists y ∈ (0, 1] such that
x ⊗ y = 0.

(a) What are the nilpotent elements of the three basic t-norms?

(b) What are the nilpotent elements of an ordinal sum?

i∈I (⊗i , ai , bi ) with ⊗i = ⊗Ł and ai = 0 for some i ∈ I, what is the


P
(c) Given an ordinal sum
precomplement of this ordinal sum?

(d) Given a t-norm without nilpotent elements, what is its precomplement?

Exercise 1.6 For which X ∈ {G, Π, Ł, Z} are the following propositional formulas X-tautologies?

(a) (p ∧ q) → p

(b) p ∨ ¬p

(c) p → ¬¬p

(d) ¬¬p → p

(e) p → (q → p)

(f) p → (p → (p ∧ p))

Exercise 1.7 Prove the following: If φ is a tautology in a fuzzy propositional logic, then it is also a
tautology in classical propositional logic.

Exercise 1.8 Find a fuzzy first-order formula that is Π-satisfiable, but does not have a witnessed
Π-model.
Hint. Under Π-semantics, x = 1 is equivalent to x = 0, x = 1 is equivalent to x > 0, and
x ⊗ x = x2 < x.
