The membership windows are opened by clicking the desired row in the second column of the management window.
Membership functions return values in the range [0,1], as can be seen on the membership-axis of the graph in the membership function window (there also is an example).
This function m already defines a fuzzy set.
Therefore (and because this fuzzy set can be viewed as value of a linguistic
variable) in the membership function window
it is possible to give this fuzzy set a name (refer
to the input field "Name of fuzzy set").
In order to find out about possible membership functions, refer to "Types of membership functions".
Because FUZZEKS allows fuzzy numbers
as input the function m is extended
by the so-called Extension Principle (often used in fuzzy theory,
see also references at bottom of Overview/References,
especially [Zadeh, 1965]) to a function
m_fuzzy : F(R) -> F([0,1])
(where F(X) denotes the set of all fuzzy subsets of a set X).
This means that the function takes fuzzy numbers as input and delivers
fuzzy values as well. The use of the so-called Extension Principle assures
that m_fuzzy is a function equal with m if used on crisp real numbers
only (crisp real numbers are a special case of fuzzy numbers).
Remark: Do not confuse the transformation function above (the named fuzzy set, defined by m) with the fuzziness of the input data (fuzzy numbers, which make necessary to define m_fuzzy). There are actually two concepts here which use fuzzy sets.
