The Extensive Similitude and Generalized Logic Combination Rules Based on the Extensive Pertinence
Gu Xiao · 2001
Traditional researches on the similitude between entities are excessively simplified and lack of intent. In this paper, firstly a detailed analysis on the analogical relationship between entities is made, which concerns about not only the common attributes, but also the redundant and conflicting attributes of analogical entities, and it is explained from the point of view of extensive pertinence. Secondly different extensive similitudes are defined based on different decision-making principles, which coincide with different demands in decision-making circumstance. Finally a set of generalized logical operator combination rules in analogical reasoning is proposed, therefore this proposal remedies the limitation of invariable operation rule in conventional analogical reasoning.
