During the last decades, the art and science of fuzzy logic have witnessed significant developments and have found applications in many active areas, such as pattern recognition, classification, control systems, etc. A lot of research has demonstrated the ability of fuzzy logic in dealing with vague and uncertain linguistic information. For the purpose of representing human perception, fuzzy logic has been employed as an effective tool in intelligent decision making. Due to the emergence of various studies on fuzzy logic-based decision-making methods, it is necessary to make a comprehensive overview of published papers in this field and their applications. This paper covers a wide range of both theoretical and practical applications of fuzzy logic in decision making. It has been grouped into five parts: to explain the role of fuzzy logic in decision making, we first present some basic ideas underlying different types of fuzzy logic and the structure of the fuzzy logic system. Then, we make a review of evaluation methods, prediction methods, decision support algorithms, group decision-making methods based on fuzzy logic. Applications of these methods are further reviewed. Finally, some challenges and future trends are given from different perspectives. This paper illustrates that the combination of fuzzy logic and decision making method has an extensive research prospect. It can help researchers to identify the frontiers of fuzzy logic in the field of decision making.

决策支持中的模糊逻辑：方法，应用和未来趋势

在过去的几十年中，模糊逻辑的艺术和科学取得了长足的发展，并在许多活跃领域得到了应用，例如模式识别，分类，控制系统等。大量研究证明了模糊逻辑在处理过程中的能力。含糊不清的语言信息。为了表示人类的感知，模糊逻辑已被用作智能决策中的有效工具。由于对基于模糊逻辑的决策方法的各种研究的出现，有必要对这一领域的已发表论文及其应用进行全面的概述。本文涵盖了模糊逻辑在决策中的广泛理论和实际应用。它分为五个部分：为了解释模糊逻辑在决策中的作用，我们首先提出一些基本思想，这些基本思想是不同类型的模糊逻辑和模糊逻辑系统的结构的基础。然后，我们回顾了基于模糊逻辑的评估方法，预测方法，决策支持算法，群体决策方法。这些方法的应用将进一步审查。最后，从不同角度给出了一些挑战和未来趋势。说明模糊逻辑与决策方法的结合具有广阔的研究前景。它可以帮助研究人员确定决策领域的模糊逻辑前沿。预测方法，决策支持算法，基于模糊逻辑的群体决策方法。这些方法的应用将进一步审查。最后，从不同角度给出了一些挑战和未来趋势。说明模糊逻辑与决策方法的结合具有广阔的研究前景。它可以帮助研究人员确定决策领域的模糊逻辑前沿。预测方法，决策支持算法，基于模糊逻辑的群体决策方法。这些方法的应用将进一步审查。最后，从不同角度给出了一些挑战和未来趋势。说明模糊逻辑与决策方法的结合具有广阔的研究前景。它可以帮助研究人员确定决策领域的模糊逻辑前沿。
