Abstract

Generalized modus ponens (GMP) and generalized modus tollens (GMT), as two basic patterns of approximate reasoning, aim to acquire some reasonable imprecise conclusions from a collection of imprecise premises using some inference rules. To solve the GMP and GMT problems under interval-valued fuzzy setting, an interval-valued A-compositional rule of inference (ACRI) method and quintuple implication principle (QIP) method with interval-valued implication generated by A under any partial order are presented in this paper, where A is an interval-valued aggregation function. In order to develop these methods, we firstly discuss interval-valued negation generated by an interval-valued aggregation function with any partial order. Some properties of interval-valued implications generated by interval-valued aggregation functions with an arbitrary order are then analyzed. We further investigate the ACRI method and quintuple implication principle (QIP) method with interval-valued implication generated by interval-valued aggregations to solve the interval-valued fuzzy modus ponens (IFMP) and interval-valued fuzzy modus tollens (IFMT). Finally, two examples are implemented to illustrate our proposed approaches using some special interval-valued aggregation functions.
