Fuzzy Set Theory—and Its ApplicationsSince its inception, the theory of fuzzy sets has advanced in a variety of ways and in many disciplines. Applications of fuzzy technology can be found in artificial intelligence, computer science, control engineering, decision theory, expert systems, logic, management science, operations research, robotics, and others. Theoretical advances have been made in many directions. The primary goal of Fuzzy Set Theory - and its Applications, Fourth Edition is to provide a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory, and a book that can be used as an introduction. To balance the character of a textbook with the dynamic nature of this research, many useful references have been added to develop a deeper understanding for the interested reader. Fuzzy Set Theory - and its Applications, Fourth Edition updates the research agenda with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy data analysis, decision making and fuzzy set models in operations research. Chapters have been updated and extended exercises are included. |

We shall first present the concepts suggested by Zadeh in 1965 [Zadeh 1965, p. 310]. They constitute a consistent framework for the theory of fuzzy sets. They are, however, not the only possible way to extend classical set theory ...

52] therefore suggested the notion of a fuzzy set whose membership function itself is a fuzzy set. If we call fuzzy sets, such as those considered so far, type 1 fuzzy sets, then a type 2 fuzzy set can be defined as follows.

Other operators have also been suggested. These suggestions vary with respect to the generality or adaptibility of the operators as well as to the degree to which and how they are justified. Justification ranges from intuitive ...

For the union of fuzzy sets, the max-operator, the algebraic sum [Zadeh 1965), and the “bold union” [Giles 1976]—modeled by the “bounded sum”—have been suggested. Corresponding to the class of intersection operators, a general class of ...

To this end, different authors suggested parameterized families of t-norms and t-conorms, often maintaining the associativity property. For illustration purposes, we review some interesting parameterized operators.
