OBJECTIVES
A. Definitions
1. Sets
a. Classical sets either an element belongs to the set
or it does not. For example, for the set of integers, either
an integer is even or it is not (it is odd). However, either
you are in the USA or you are not. What about flying into
USA, what happens as you are crossing? Another
example is for black and white photographs, one cannot
say either a pixel is white or it is black. However, when
you digitize a b/w figure, you turn all the b/w and gray
scales into 256 discrete tones.

A* X B
One interpretation is :
A( ) X ( ) B( ).
Let A( ) [a( ),a( )], B( ) [b( ),b( )] and X ( ) [ x( ), x( )].
Then the solution t o the fuzzy equation exists iff :
i) b( ) / a( ) b( ) / a( ) (0,1]
ii) b( ) / a( ) b( ) / a( ) b( ) / a( ) b( ) / a( ).
Another interpretation is :
{x | (ax b) 0.8 where a A,b B}
a A 1/ 2 / 3, bB 2 / 3/ 5, and x 6. Then
f(x) 6 A B 8/15/ 23
