Fuzzy Bisimulation for Gödel Modal Logic

Bisimulation is a central concept in the model theory of modal logic with extensive computational applications. It is a relation between two models in which related states have identical atomic properties and matching transition possibilities. Bisimulation captures the expressive power of propositional modal logic in the sense that bisimilar states are not distinguishable by any propositional modal formula. In recent years, fuzzy modal logic has received much attention because of the connection between uncertainty measures and fuzzy modalities. In this paper, we define the notion of fuzzy bisimulation and prove that, in a fuzzified version, it bears the same relationship to fuzzy modal logic that bisimulation bears to propositional modal logic.
