Sec. 2.5. More on Fuzzy Union, Intersection, and Complement* 37 Definition 2.26 T-norm A T-norm operator [3] is a two-place function T(.,-) satisfying T(0,0) =0, T(a,1)=T(1,a)=a (boundary) T(a,b) < T(c,d) ifa0. The first row of Figure 2.17 shows the surface plot of these T-conorm operators. The second row demonstrates the corresponding two-dimensional MFs when a = pa(z) = trapezoid(z;3,8, 12,17) and b = up(z) = trapezoid(y;3,8,12, 17); these MF5 are the Cartesian coproduct of A and B using these four T-conorm operators. It can also be verified that Smaz (a,b) < Sap(a,b) < Stp(a,b) < Sap(a, b)- (2.49) a Note that these essential requirements for T-norm and T-conorm operators can- not uniquely determine the classical fuzzy intersection and union—namely, the min and max operators. Stronger restrictions have to be taken into consideration to pinpoint the min and max operators. For a detailed treatment of this subject, see [1]. 40 Fuzzy Sets Ch. 2 Theorem 2.1 Generalized DeMorgan’s law ‘T-norms T(-,) and T-conorms S(-,-) are duals which support the generalization of DeMorgan’s law: T(a,b) = N(S(N(a), N(b))); S(a,b) = N(T(N(a), N(b))), where N(-) is a fuzzy complement operator. If we use # and } for T-norm and ‘T-conorm operators, respectively, then the preceding equations can be rewritten as a%b = N(N(a)4N(b)), a+b = N(N(a)#N(b)). (2.50) (2.51) a Thus for a given T-norm operator, we can always find a corresponding T-conorm operator through the generalized DeMorgan’s law, and vice versa. (In fact, the four T-norm and T-conorm operators in Examples 2.12 and 2.13, respectively, are dual in the sense of the generalized DeMorgan’s law. The reader is encouraged to verify this.) 2.5.3 Parameterized T-norm and T-conorm* Several parameterized T-norms and dual T-conorms have been proposed in the past, such as those of Yager [9], Dubois and Prade [4], Schweizer and Sklar [7], and Sugeno 8]. For instance, Schweizer and Sklar’s T-norm operator can be expressed as Tss(a, 6, p) = (max{0, (a~? + b-? ~ 1) }-* Sss(a,b,p) = 1 — [max{0, ((1—a)-? + (1-8)? — I)}-* It is observed that (2.52) limy-s0 T'ss(a,b, p) = ab, limp sao Ts (a,b,p) = min(a,8), Me which correspond to two of the more commonly used T-norms for the fuzzy AND operation. To give a general idea of how the parameter p affects the T-norm and T-conorm operators, Figure 2.18(a) shows typical membership functions of fuzzy sets A and B; Figure 2.18(b) and Figure 2.18(c) are Tss(a, 6, p) and Sss(a, b, p), respectively, with p = co (solid line), 1 (dashed line), 0 (dotted line) and —1 (dash-dotted line). Note that the bell-shaped membership functions of A and B in Figure 2.18(a) are defined as follows: pa(z) = bell(x; —5,2,7.5) = — (2.54) up(2) = bell@35,1,5) = aaa (2.55) For completeness, other types of parameterized T-norms are given next.
