Deductive reasoning Deductive reasoning Deductive reasoning, also deductive logic, logical deduction is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. Deductive reasoning goes in the same direction as that of the conditionals, and links premises with conclusions. If all premises are true, the terms are clear, and the rules of deductive logic are followed, then the conclusion reached is necessarily true. Deductive reasoning (""top-down logic"") contrasts with inductive reasoning (""bottom-up logic"") in the following way; in deductive reasoning, a conclusion is reached reductively by applying general rules which hold over the entirety of a
Multi-adjoint logic programming Multi-adjoint logic programming Multi-adjoint logic programming defines syntax and semantics of a logic programming program in such a way that the underliying maths justifying the results are a residuated lattice and/or MV-algebra. The definition of a multi-adjoint logic program is given, as usual in fuzzy logic programming, as a set of weighted rules and facts of a given formal language F. Notice that we are allowed to use different implications in our rules. Definition: A "multi-adjoint logic program" is a set P of rules of the form <("A" ←"i B"), δ> such that: 1. The "rule" (A ←i B) is
