Abstract
Fuzzy set theory is a powerful tool for representing vague phenomena and for linguistic representation in modern computers. The basic concept has been applied in many different areas. For the convenience of later discussions, some of the fuzzy concepts are summarized in this chapter. However, we shall not discuss the most basic aspects and assume the reader has some familiarity with fuzzy set theory. For more details, the reader can consult the many excellent books on this subject.
