Abstract:

The flexibility and adaptability of Fuzzy Logic are convenient qualities to Decision Making. Its capacity to elaborate linguistic models could be very useful to solve real problems getting a better communication with Decision Makers and Experts. Many revealing studies has been accomplished on Multi-valued Logics, including the explorations of a variety of operators; however, the real possibility to incorporate expert knowledge, and Decision Maker subjectivity in practical models still being limited. This lack is crucial; the necessity of better axiomatic approaches and practical capacity is evident. The aim of this paper is to provide a new axiomatic development on Multi-valued Logic, with applications in Decision Making. The proposal disregards the classical point of view of norm and conorm,. Existential and Universal quantifiers are defined consequently and Propositional Bivalent Classic Calculus is introduced from this Logical System.

Keywords: Fuzzy Logic, Management, Decision Making, Multivalued Logic.
