Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fuzzy logic is a mathematical theory and method for handling imprecision, incompleteness, and uncertainty, thereby helping artificial intelligence systems better understand and process complex and fuzzy information. In recent years, artificial intelligence, namely, deep learning, has faced challenges such as poor interpretability and robustness. The realization of third-generation artificial intelligence driven by both data and knowledge represents the current direction of development, and in this context, fuzzy logic, fuzzy reasoning, and fuzzy rough sets, among other concepts, known for aiding the expression and processing of uncertainty in human knowledge, will play a greater role. For example, the Fuzzy Deep Belief Network (FDBN) proposed by Google in 2023 introduced a fuzzy rule base into the decision-making layer of autonomous driving. Moreover, with the comprehensive application of neural networks, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy reasoning, the decision-making of vehicles in complex road conditions closer resembles the elastic judgment of human drivers. Fuzzy logic is building a bridge to higher-order cognition for artificial intelligence. This Special Issue will focus on fuzzy logic and its latest applications in artificial intelligence, aiming to bring together peers in a wide range of disciplines and promote the rapid development of this field. The main themes of this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following: formal systems of fuzzy logic, fuzzy logic operators, information aggregation functions, fuzzy inference algorithms, fuzzy control and optimization, fuzzy rough sets and their applications, fuzzy clustering algorithms, fuzzy neural networks, fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making, three-way decision-making and conflict analysis, and uncertainty in artificial intelligence.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
