Universes Fuzzy set B = “about 50 years old” X = Set of positive real numbers (continuous) B = {(x, mB(x)) | x in X} Alternative Notation A fuzzy set A can be alternatively denoted as follows: Fuzzy Partition Fuzzy partitions formed by the linguistic values “young”, “middle aged”, and “old”: More Definitions Support Core Normality Crossover points Fuzzy singleton a-cut, strong a-cut Convexity Fuzzy numbers Bandwidth Symmetricity Open left or right, closed MF Terminology Convexity of Fuzzy Sets A fuzzy set A is convex if for any l in [0, 1], Set-Theoretic Operations Subset: Complement: Union: Intersection: Set-Theoretic Operations MF Formulation Triangular MF: MF Formulation MF Formulation Sigmoidal MF: MF Formulation L-R MF: Cylindrical Extension 2D MF Projection 2D MFs Fuzzy Complement General requirements: Boundary: N(0)=1 and N(1) = 0 Monotonicity: N(a) > N(b) if a < b Involution: N(N(a) = a Two types of fuzzy complements: Sugeno’s complement:
