ABSTRACT
This paper proposes an axiomatization of mathematical fuzzy logic with many dual hedges. We extend an axiomatization of mathematical fuzzy logic with one truth-stressing and one truth-depressing hedges as an expansion of a core fuzzy logic with new unary connectives by Esteva et al. for many truth-stressing and truth-depressing hedges, in which each hedge can have its own dual one. Our motivation is that, in the real world, we usually use many hedges at the same time, e.g., very, highly, rather, and slightly, to express different levels of emphasis, and each hedge seems to have a dual one, e.g., slightly (true) and rather (true) can be seen as a dual hedge of very (true) and highly (true), respectively. The proposed logic not only covers a large class of hedge functions but also has all completeness properties as the underlying core fuzzy logic w.r.t. the class of their chains as well as a number of special subclasses of their chains, including standard completeness.

A logical approach to fuzzy truth hedges
The starting point of this paper are the works of Hajek and Vychodil on the axiomatization of truth-stressing and-depressing hedges as expansions of Hajek's BL logic by new unary connectives. They showed that their logics are chain-complete, but ...
Expanding the propositional logic of a t-norm with truth-constants: completeness results for rational semantics
In this paper we consider the expansions of logics of a left-continuous t-norm with truth-constants from a subalgebra of the rational unit interval. From known results on standard semantics, we study completeness for these propositional logics with ...
