Classical Sets (Crisp Sets)
Classical Sets (Crisp Sets)
Introduction
• A set is defined as collection of objects, which share certain
characteristics.
• Fuzzy systems are rule based systems that are construct from
a collection of linguistic rules & fuzzy systems are nonlinear
mappings of inputs (stimuli) to outputs (responses).
Cont.
• Fuzzy sets and fuzzy sets operations are the subjects and verbs
of fuzzy logic. If-Then rule statements are used to formulate
the conditional statements that comprise fuzzy logic.
• A single fuzzy If-Then rule assumes the form
“If x is A Then y is B”
where A and B are linguistic variables defined by fuzzy sets on the ranges (i.e.
universe of discourse) X and Y respectively. The If-part of the rule ‘x is A’ is
called the antecedent or premise and the Then-part of the rule ‘y is B’ is called
the consequent or conclusion.
In other words, the conditional statement can be expressed in a
mathematical form
“If A Then B or A → B “
Example
• Speed and pressure of a steam engine can be expressed with
the following linguistic conditional statement
“If Speed is Slow Then Pressure should be High”
• If we want to represent this implication rule or fuzzy if then
rules in Matrix form, we will user Cartesian product (A x B).
