Notes

  1. 1.

    An important exception to this rule, which represent a limit case of the fuzzy variables, is given by the rectangular membership function, for which all α-cuts are equal.

  2. 2.

    If 11 values are considered, as in (14.1), it is: Xα=0 ≡ A1 ; Xα=0.1 ≡ A2; Xα=0.2 ≡ A3; …;\( X_{\alpha =\alpha _j} \equiv A_i\); …; Xα=1 ≡ A11.
