Application of Fuzzy Logic in Chemistry

Fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory are applied to various problems in chemistry. The applications range from component identification and spectral Hbrary search to fuzzy pattern recognition or calibrations of analytical methods. 

An overview over different applications of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic is given in [15] (see also Chapter IX, Section 1.5 in the Handbook). 

the application of fuzzy logic for multicomponent spectral analysis is described. 

If a spectrum lacks certain Lines or contains extra lines from additional unknown components, or if the true line positions are blurred, fuzzy set theory can improve the matching.

The application of fuzzy logic in chemistry concerns interpretation of expert systems, fuzzy control in chemical production or evaluation of qualitative or vague quantitative rather than exact quantitative causal dependencies. The main advantages of using fuzzy theory in an expert system have been given by Zimmermann. - These advantages are also valid for the other application fields mentioned above and can be summarized as follows ...
