A fuzzy set is a class of objects with a continuum of grades of membership. Such a set is
characterized by a membership (characteristic) function which assigns to each object a
grade of membership ranging between zero and one.
A membership function maps items in a set to numbers in the real interval [0, 1]. This can be
a one-to-one mapping where one item is a member of one and only one other set, or it could
be a fuzzy and/or probabilistic relationship. Membership functions are often used in fuzzy
logic.
The equality and inclusion relation for fuzzy sets are defined as
follows. Definition 1.2. Let A, B ∈ F(X). If µA(x) ≤ µB(x) for all x ∈ X,
we write A ⊆ B and say that A is included in B or B contains A.
A(x) = B(x), if µA(x)= µB(x) Note: Two fuzzy sets A(x) and B(x) are
said to be unequal, if µA(x) ≠ µB(x) for at least x ∈ X.
Q5. Illustrate how to find the algebraic sum of 2 fuzzy sets.
To find the algebraic sum of fuzzy sets A and B, add their membership values element-wise. The
result is a new fuzzy set representing the combined influence of A and B.

Q1. Explain with example fuzzyfication defuzzyfication with suitable
diagram
The scalar product of fuzzy sets involves multiplying each membership value in one fuzzy set
by a constant scalar value. Here's an illustration with an example:
Q1. A={1/a,0.2/6,0.4/c,0.9/d,0/e}
B={0.7/a,0.8/6,0.3/c,0.5/d,0.5/e}
Fuzzy Matrix:
A fuzzy matrix is a matrix where each element represents a fuzzy set. The
entries in the matrix are membership values indicating the degree of
membership of elements in the fuzzy set.
Crisp Set and Crisp Matrix:
A crisp set is a conventional set where elements either belong or do not
belong, without any uncertainty. A crisp matrix is a matrix with binary entries,
representing the presence (1) or absence (0) of elements in a set.
Relation between Fuzzy Set & Crisp Set:
A fuzzy set is a generalization of a crisp set. While a crisp set has binary
membership (1 or 0), a fuzzy set allows degrees of membership between 0
and 1, capturing uncertainty and imprecision.
Operations on Fuzzy Sets (Short):
Addition: The algebraic sum of membership values for corresponding
elements.
Maximum: Take the maximum of membership values for corresponding
elements (union).
Minimum: Take the minimum of membership values for corresponding
elements (intersection).
Product: Multiply membership values element-wise.
These operations are fundamental in fuzzy set theory and are used to manipulate
and combine fuzzy sets.
