Abstract

There exists some relationships which are difficult to be simply measured by “yes” or “no" in practice, and there must be a certain amount to indicate the extent of this relationship between the two elements. In this paper, the property of the uncertain relations is examined by the uncertainty theory. Firstly it offers the definition of uncertain relation and the concept of property index of the uncertain relation based on uncertain theory; secondly it gives the calculation method of the property index of the uncertain relation; finally, a simple example is presented to illustrate the method.
