Abstract

Logic functions such as fuzzy switching functions and multiple-valued Kleenean functions, that are models of Kleene algebra have been studied as foundation of fuzzy logic. This paper deals with a new kinds of functions-fuzzy switching functions with constants-which have features of both the above two kinds of functions . In this paper, we propose new canonical forms for enumerating them. They are much useful to estimate simply the number of fuzzy switching functions with constants.
