Description:
This book explores the intersection of fuzzy mathematics and the
spatial modeling of preferences in political science. Beginning
with a critique of conventional modeling approaches predicated on
Cantor set theoretical assumptions, the authors outline the
potential benefits of a fuzzy approach to the study of ambiguous
or uncertain preference profiles. This is a good text for a
graduate seminar in formal modeling. It is also suitable as an
introductory text in fuzzy mathematics.
