Abstract

The work considers the problem of solvability of a fuzzy relation equation with max-min composition. It presents the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions, then derives a fast algorithm for finding all minimal solutions. The results are compared with those of previous publications regarding this subject.
