Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets
Interval type-2 fuzzy sets have received the most attention because the mathematics that is needed for such sets—primarily Interval arithmetic—is much simpler than the mathematics that is needed for general type-2 fuzzy sets. So, the literature about interval type-2 fuzzy sets is large, whereas the literature about general type-2 fuzzy sets is much smaller. Both kinds of fuzzy sets are being actively researched by an ever-growing number of researchers around the world.
Formulas for the following have already been worked out for interval type-2 fuzzy sets:
- Fuzzy set operations: union, intersection and complement (, )
- Centroid (a very widely used operation by practitioners of such sets, and also an important uncertainty measure for them) (, )
- Other uncertainty measures and uncertainty bounds
- Similarity (, )
- Subsethood
- Fuzzy set ranking
- Fuzzy rule ranking and selection
- Type-reduction methods (, )
- Firing intervals for an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (, )
- Fuzzy weighted average
- Linguistic weighted average
- Synthesizing an FOU from data that are collected from a group of subject

Famous quotes containing the words interval, fuzzy and/or sets:
“I was interested to see how a pioneer lived on this side of the country. His life is in some respects more adventurous than that of his brother in the West; for he contends with winter as well as the wilderness, and there is a greater interval of time at least between him and the army which is to follow. Here immigration is a tide which may ebb when it has swept away the pines; there it is not a tide, but an inundation, and roads and other improvements come steadily rushing after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Even their song is not a sure thing.
It is not a language;
it is a kind of breathing.
They are two asthmatics
whose breath sobs in and out
through a small fuzzy pipe.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, however secretly, he is in a sense writing for publication.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
