54Special Issue on Point-Free Geometry and TopologyLogic and Logical Philosophy 22 (2): 139-143. 2013.In the first section we briefly describe methodological assumptions of point-free geometry and topology. We also outline history of geometrical theories based on the notion of emph{region}. The second section is devoted to concise presentation of the content of the LLP special issue on point-free theories of space

79Fuzzy Logic Programming and Fuzzy ControlStudia Logica 79 (2): 231-254. 2005.We show that it is possible to base fuzzy control on fuzzy logic programming. Indeed, we observe that the class of fuzzy Herbrand interpretations gives a semantics for fuzzy programs and we show that the fuzzy function associated with a fuzzy system of IF-THEN rules is the fuzzy Herbrand interpretation associated with a suitable fuzzy program.

66Point-free Foundation of Geometry and Multivalued LogicNotre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 51 (3): 383-405. 2010.Whitehead, in two basic books, considers two different approaches to point-free geometry: the inclusion-based approach , whose primitive notions are regions and inclusion relation between regions, and the connection-based approach , where the connection relation is considered instead of the inclusion. We show that the latter cannot be reduced to the first one, although this can be done in the framework of multivalued logics

23Fuzzy logic, continuity and effectivenessArchive for Mathematical Logic 41 (7): 643-667. 2002.It is shown the complete equivalence between the theory of continuous (enumeration) fuzzy closure operators and the theory of (effective) fuzzy deduction systems in Hilbert style. Moreover, it is proven that any truth-functional semantics whose connectives are interpreted in [0,1] by continuous functions is axiomatizable by a fuzzy deduction system (but not by an effective fuzzy deduction system, in general)

194.4. Il Cervino di Varzi: similarità e oggetti vaghiRivista di Estetica 49 281-296. 2012.In the framework of fuzzy logic a definition of vague object is proposed based on the notion of fuzzy equivalence. Indeed, while a crisp object is defined as a “concrete thing” together with an equivalence, I propose to define a vague object as a “concrete thing” together with a fuzzy equivalence.

22An Extension Principle for Fuzzy LogicsMathematical Logic Quarterly 40 (3): 357-380. 1994.Let S be a set, P the class of all subsets of S and F the class of all fuzzy subsets of S. In this paper an “extension principle” for closure operators and, in particular, for deduction systems is proposed and examined. Namely we propose a way to extend any closure operator J defined in P into a fuzzy closure operator J* defined in F. This enables us to give the notion of canonical extension of a deduction system and to give interesting examples of fuzzy logics. In particular, the canonical exte…Read more

22Connecting bilattice theory with multivalued logicLogic and Logical Philosophy 23 (1): 15-45. 2014.This is an exploratory paper whose aim is to investigate the potentialities of bilattice theory for an adequate definition of the deduction apparatus for multi-valued logic. We argue that bilattice theory enables us to obtain a nice extension of the graded approach to fuzzy logic. To give an example, a completeness theorem for a logic based on Boolean algebras is proved
