摘要
If f:R(n) --> R is continuous and monotonic in each variable, and if mu(i) is a fuzzy number on the ith coordinate, then the membership on R induced by f and by the membership on R(n) given by mu(x) = min(mu1(x1),..., mu(n)(x(n)) can be evaluated by determining the membership at the endpoints of the level cuts of each mu(i). Here more general conditions are given for both the function f and the manner in which the fuzzy numbers {mu(i)} are combined so that this simple method for computing induced membership may be used. In particular, a geometric condition is given so that the alpha-cuts computed when the fuzzy numbers are combined using min is an upper bound for the actual induced membership.
