What are Fuzzy Manifolds and Their Role in Deformation?

Hii all

What is Fuzzy manifold ? and what is deformation ?

thank u >>

Don't know what a fuzzy manifold is myself but was interested. Various Google searches, Google books, Google scholar, Google web came up with hits.

See maybe:

Also Amazon books has "Fuzzy Mathematical Techniques With Applications" for $1.11 + shipping. A description of the book:

"This text presents the basic concepts of fuzzy set theory within a context of real-world applications. The book is self-contained and can be used as a starting point for people interested in this fast growing field as well as by researchers looking for new application techniques. The section on applications includes: Manipulation of knowledge in expert systems; relational database structures; pattern clustering; analysis of transient behavior in digital systems; modeling of uncertainty and search trees. Contents: Fuzzy sets; Possibility theory and fuzzy quantification; Fuzzy functions; Fuzzy events and fuzzy statistics; Fuzzy relations; Fuzzy logics; Some applications; Bibliography."

It seems fuzzy manifolds come up in several branches of science, from where comes your interest?

Good luck!
