Fuzzy set operations are extensions of classical set operations, incorporating degrees of membership. These operations include union, intersection, complement, and more.
Definition: The union of two fuzzy sets and is a fuzzy set , where the membership degree of each element in is the maximum of its membership degrees in and .
Formula:
Example: If and , then .
Definition: The intersection of two fuzzy sets and is a fuzzy set , where the membership degree of each element in is the minimum of its membership degrees in and .
Formula:
Example: If and , then .
Definition: The complement of a fuzzy set is a fuzzy set , where the membership degree of each element in is minus its membership degree in .
Formula:
Example: If , then .
Definition: The difference of fuzzy sets and is a fuzzy set , where the membership degree of each element in is the membership of the element in reduced by its membership in .
