Use of Fuzzy Set Theory in Environmental Engineering Applications: A Review

Abstract

Methods of solving the identified environmental problems, considering mathematical rigorous alternative assessment of environmental component process using fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, are described by various researchers. To illustrate how such a computational intelligence approach would work in performing an assessment, various artificial techniques have been described. Fuzzy system technique for analysis of environmental components differentiates the approach from those techniques used in the past. It takes advantage of advanced computational intelligence techniques such as fuzzy sets and logic, for quantifying and manipulating in a mathematically rigorous way, subjective, inherently uncertain or imprecise values and concepts. This paper put forth the use of fuzzy sets in field of environmental engineering.
