Rules and Algorithms for Objective Construction of Fuzzy Sets

General Mathematics 2024-11-08 v2

Abstract

This paper aims to present objective methods for constructing new fuzzy sets from known fuzzy or classical sets, defined over the elements of a finite universe's superstructure. The paper proposes rules for assigning membership functions to these new fuzzy sets, leading to two important findings. Firstly, the property concerning the cardinality of a power set in classical theory has been extended to the fuzzy setting, whereby the scalar cardinality of a fuzzy set B~\tilde B defined on the power set of a finite universe of a fuzzy set A~\tilde A satisfies card(B~)=2card(A~)\text{card}(\tilde B)=2^{\text{card}(\tilde A)}. Secondly, the novel algorithms allow for an arbitrary membership value to be objectively achieved and represented by a specific binary sequence.
