A Composition of Fuzzy Sets

Abstract

A new operation on fuzzy sets – the r-composition of n-sets – is introduced. The particular cases of this operation are logical conjunction (r = 1) or disjunction (r = n). In the general case (1 < r < n), this operation is purely fuzzy and has no analogs among the operations on fuzzy sets. The operation of r-composition is applied to the solution of control problems under uncertainty.
