The derivation of mathematical models that can efficiently describe real-world problems is most of the time an overwhelming or even impossible task due to the complexity and the inherent ambiguity of characteristics that these problems may possess. As (
1973
), the founder of the theory of fuzzy sets, puts it, as the complexity of a system increases, our ability to make precise and yet significant statements about its behavior diminishes until a threshold is reached beyond which precision and significance (or relevance) become almost mutually exclusive characteristics.
