Functional Dependencies Analyse in Fuzzy Relational Database Models

This paper presents a literature overview of Fuzzy Relational Database Models with emphasis on the role of functional dependencies in logical designing and modeling. The aim is the analysis of recent results in this field. Fuzzy set theory is widely applied for the classical relational database extensions resulting in numerous contributions. This is because fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic are powerful tool for manilupating imprecise and uncertain information. A significant body of research in efficient designing FRDM has been developed over the last decades. Knowing the set of functional dependencies, database managers have a chance to normalize the same eliminating redundancy and data anomalies. In this paper we have considered the most important results in this field.
