Definition:Fuzzy Set

Definition

Let $S$ be a set.

Let $\left [{0 \,.\,.\, 1}\right]$ denotes the closed unit interval.

Let $\mu: S \to \left [{0 \,.\,.\, 1}\right]$ be a mapping.

Then $\left({S, \mu}\right)$ is a fuzzy set.

Domain

$S$ is the domain of $\left({S, \mu}\right)$.

Membership Function

$\mu$ is the membership function of $\left({S, \mu}\right)$.
