Abstract
As a first step, it is important to postulate the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets as proposed in Zadeh (Inf Control 8:338–353, 1965). This chapter is then devoted to basic notions of fuzzy sets, the logical and arithmetic related-operations, and to the well-known extension principle. Detailed examples illustrate the different concepts.
