Introduction
The word fuzzy means vagueness (ambiguity).
Fuzziness occurs when the boundary of a piece of
information is not clear-cut.
Fuzzy system was first proposed by an American
professor, Lotfi A. Zadeh, in 1965 when he
presented his seminal paper on "fuzzy sets."[1]
American professor introduced the fuzzy logic theory, it
was first implemented in the control of cement kilns
in Denmark in 1977.[2]The Japanese were successful
in applying fuzzy logic in commercial goods like
automobiles and washing machine.

Classical Sets
Classical set theory allows the membership of the elements in the set in binary
terms.
Fuzzy set theory permits membership function valued in the interval [0,1].
Example:
Words like young, tall, good or high are fuzzy.
Fuzzy set theory is an extension of classical set theory where elements have
degree of membership.
Cont
In real world, there exist much fuzzy knowledge (i.e. vague, uncertain
inexact etc).
Human thinking and reasoning
(analysis, logic, interpretation)
frequently involved fuzzy information.
Human can give satisfactory answers, which are probably true.
Our systems are unable to answer many question because the systems
are designed based upon classical set theory (Unreliable and
incomplete).
We want, our system should be able to cope with unreliable and
incomplete information.
Fuzzy system have been provide solution.

For crisp sets A and B consisting of collections of some
elements in X, the following notation is defined:
For sets A and B on X, we also have
Classical Sets
All possible sets of X constitute a special set called the power set,
P(X).
Example: We have a universe comprised of three elements, X={a,
b, c}, so the cardinal number is n x = 3.
The power set is
P(X) = {, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a,b}, {a,c}, {b,c}, {a,b,c}}
The cardinality of the power set, denoted n p(x) is found as
np(x) = 2nx
= 23=8
Cont
Intersection: the intersection of two sets A and B is
given as
A B = { x | x A and x B } i.e. x is present in A and B
The intersection of the two sets, denoted A B,
represents all those elements in the universe X that
simultaneously reside in (or belong to) both sets A and
B.
This operation is also called the logical AND
Cont
Complement: It is denoted by and is defined as
= { x | x does not belongs A and x X } i.e. All
elements except A
The complement of a set A,is defined as the collection
of all elements in the universe that do not reside in the
set A.

Example : a universe with three elements, X = {a, b, c}, we desire to
map the elements of the power set of X, i.e., P(X), to a universe, Y,
consisting of only two elements (the characteristic function), Y = {0, 1}
the elements of the power set?
P(X) = {, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a, b}, {b, c}, {a, c}, {a, b, c}}
the elements in the value set V(P(X))?
V{P(X)} = {{0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 0}, {0, 1,
1}, {1, 0, 1}, {1, 1, 1}}
Cont
The union of these two sets in terms of function-theoretic
terms is given as follows (the symbol is the maximum):
Union A B AB(x) = A(x) B(x) = max(A(x), B(x))
The intersection of these two sets in function-theoretic terms
is given by (the symbol is the minimum operator):
Intersection A B AB(x) = A(x) B(x) = min(A(x), B(x))
The complement of a single set on universe X, say A, is given by
Fuzzy Sets
Elements of a fuzzy set are mapped to a universe of
membership values using a function-theoretic form.
fuzzy sets are denoted by a set symbol with a tilde
under strike; A would be the fuzzy set A.
This function maps elements of a fuzzy set A to a real
numbered value on the interval 0 to 1.
If an element in the universe, say x, is a member of
fuzzy set A, then this mapping is given by
Fuzzy Sets
The boundaries of the fuzzy sets are vague and ambiguous. Hence,
membership of an element from the universe in this set is
measured by a function that attempts to describe vagueness and
ambiguity
Fuzzy Sets
Fuzzy set is defined as follows:
If X is an universe of discourse and x is a particular
element of X, then a fuzzy set A defined on X and can
be written as a collection of ordered pairs
A = {(x, (x)), x X }
Cont
Example
Let X = {g1, g2, g3, g4, g5} be the reference set of
students.
Let be the fuzzy set of smart students, where
smart is fuzzy term.
= {(g1,0.4)(g2,0.5)(g3,1)(g4,0.9)(g5,0.8)}
Here indicates that the smartness of g1 is 0.4 and so on
Standard fuzzy
operations

Membership Function
The membership function fully defines the fuzzy set
A membership function provides a measure of the degree of
similarity of an element to a fuzzy set
Membership functions can
either be chosen by the user arbitrarily, based on the users
experience (MF chosen by two users could be different
depending upon their experiences, perspectives, etc.)
Or be designed using machine learning methods (e.g.,
artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc.)
Example
A = {(x1,0.5),(x2,0.7),(x3,0)} B = {(x1,0.8),(x2,0.2),(x3,1)}
Union:
A U B = {(x1,0.8),(x2,0.7),(x3,1)}
Because
A U B(x1) = max (A(x1), B(x1))
= max(0.5,0.8)
= 0.8
A U B(x2) = 0.7 and A U B(x3) = 1
Example
A = {(x1,0.5),(x2,0.7),(x3,0)} B = {(x1,0.8),(x2,0.2),(x3,1)}
Intersection:
A B = {(x1,0.5),(x2,0.2),(x3,0)}
Because
A B(x1) = min (A(x1), B(x1))
= min(0.5,0.8)
= 0.5
A B(x2) = 0.2 and A B(x3) = 0
Example
A = {(x1,0.5),(x2,0.7),(x3,0)}
Complement:
Ac = {(x1,0.5),(x2,0.3),(x3,1)}
Because
A (x1) =1- A(x1)
= 1 0.5
= 0.5
A (x2) = 0.3 and A (x3) = 1
