| Abstract: | An appropriate algebraic structure was previously defined which can be regarded as a possible alternative to the theory of approximate reasoning, [A. Gisolfi, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 44 , 37–43 (1992)]. In this article we aim at extending the operations of the structure in order to cope with classification problems. the theoretical aspects are emphasized in order to give an adequate background to the possible applications. After defining the basic elements and the related operations, the structure is implemented by means of Prolog. Finally the relationship between the structure and the problems of classification is discussed in some detail. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
