摘要
In this paper we state that fuzzy equivalence relations in general are not suitable to model approximate equality, since then the notion of transitivity is counter-intuitive. To substantiate this we investigate some of the undesirable results caused by transitivity, among other things in the case of approximate reasoning. We then introduce a new framework to model approximate equality, i.e. the concept of a pseudometric based resemblance relation. We go into the properties of this new kind of fuzzy relation and illustrate it by means of some examples. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
