Abstract
In the field of approximate reasoning a series of quite plausible inference schemata for approximate inferences have been proposed, e.g. generalisations of standard syllogisms of classical logic in [Zadeh, 1984; Zadeh, 1985], cf. also [Lopez de Mantaras, 19901, and there has been argued for their acceptability—but essentially only on a heuristic foundation. Therefore the problem of adequacy conditions for such schemata is an open one.
