Synopsis

This book aims to introduce fuzzy matrix theory as a basic framework for characterizing the full scope of the fuzzy sets concept and its relationship with the increasingly important concept of information and complexity in various sciences and professions. The book provides a wide coverage on the theoretical developments of fuzzy matrices and fuzzy vector spaces, on the theory of generalized inverses for fuzzy matrices, on fuzzy relations and on partial orderings on fuzzy matrices. The book also discusses the role of fuzzy matrices in the spectral theory of linear transformations on finite dimensional vector spaces. The concept of fuzzy matrix and its applications in document retrieval system, medical diagnosis, database management system, decision making theory and dynamical systems are developed iteratively and illustrated with suitable examples wherever necessary. Each chapter has brief notes and exercises for the benefit of students.
