Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new technique of codification. The purpose of this method is to take in consideration the natural language nuances and the fuzziness that characterizes the human reasoning. So, we warranted a means of more flexible encoding that translates as well the linguistic descriptions. Its principle is simple and intuitive. It consists simply in replacing in ambiguous cases, a unique number by an interval. The introduction of the new codification necessitates the elaboration of metric or similarity in order to compare two intervals. This comparison must take in consideration the difference of their size, the remoteness of their center and the width of their intersection. In consequence, we defined three new fuzzy concepts : "fuzzy inclusion degree", "fuzzy resemblance degree," and " fuzzy curve".
