Membership function as an evaluation. (English) Zbl 0701.04006
This paper is devoted to the membership functions of fuzzy sets. First, the author presents different kinds of mathematical forms of the membership functions. Next, he extracts the different demands and determines the rational class of membership functions. Finally, he shows the connections between evaluation operators and membership functions.
