Since the famous paper ¡°Fuzzy Sets¡± was presented in 1965 by Professor L.A.Zadeh, the theory of fuzzy sets has made considerable progress. It has exerted a tremendous influence on modern science and technology such as mathematics, natural science, management science, sociology, economics, philosophy, law, psychology, linguistics, medicine, control theory, signal processing, etc.
The purpose of the Journal of Fuzzy Mathematics is to improve the dissemination and exchange of the theory and application in the fuzzy realm. The journal will publish articles of real significance and of high quality in the area of fuzzy sets and related fields. We also follow with interest new ideas in any discipline.
