Abstract

Commonsense reasoning plays a pivotal role in the development of intelligent systems for decisionmaking, system analysis, control and other applications. As Prof. L. Zadeh mentions a kernel of the theory of commonsense is the concept of usuality. Zadeh suggested main principles of the theory of usuality, unfortunately up to present day; a fundamental and systemic approach to reasoning with usual knowledge is not developed.
In this study, we develop a new approach to calculus of usual numbers (U-numbers). We consider a U-number as a Z-number, where the second component is “usually”. Validity of the suggested approach is verified by examples.
