Boolean fuzzy sets (Q1187440)

Boolean fuzzy sets were introduced by the first author [ibid. 37, 287-307 (1990; Zbl 0712.03045)] as a result of application of Boolean analysis to a generalization of the notion of set. This paper discusses mainly the notions of function and membership for Boolean fuzzy sets. Similar results for Zadeh's fuzzy sets were presented by \textit{M. A. Erceg} [ibid. 3, 75-92 (1980; Zbl 0421.03044)]. Local and global interpretation of Boolean fuzzy sets on the real line are also discussed, with application to arithmetic of fuzzy numbers.
