Summary: Fuzzy logic is one of the tools for management of uncertainty; it works with more than two values, usually with a continuous scale, the real interval $[0,1]$. Implementation restrictions in applications force us to use in fact a finite scale (finite chain) of truth degrees. In this paper, we study logical operations on finite chains, in particular conjunctions. We describe a computer program generating all finitely-valued fuzzy conjunctions ($t$-norms). It allows also to select these $t$-norms according to various criteria. Using this program, we formulated several conjectures which we verified by theoretical proofs, thus obtaining new mathematical theorems. We found out several properties of $t$-norms that are quite surprising. As a consequence, we give arguments why there is no “satisfactory" finitely-valued conjunction. Such an operation is desirable, e. g., for search in large databases. We present an example demonstrating both the motivation and the difficulties encountered in using many-valued conjunctions. As a by-product, we found some consequences showing that the characterization of diagonals of finitely-valued conjunctions differs substantially from that obtained for $t$-norms on $[0,1]$. (English)
