If A and B are two fuzzy sets and μ A ( x ) and μ B ( x ) are the membership val-
ues of the elements, the union operator can be constructed using the OR
operator and is defined as
Union operator: μ A B ( x ) = μ A ( x ) ∨ μ B ( x )
Intersection operator: μ A B ( x ) = μ A ( x ) ∧ μ B ( x )
Complement: μ A c ( x ) = 1 − μ A ( x )
These operators fulfil the following axioms:
OR operator
1. Monotonicity: If a < a ′ and b < b ′, then a b < a ′ ∨ b
2. Commutativity: a b = b a
3. Boundary condition: 0 ∨ 0 = 0, 0 ∨ 1 = 1, 1 ∨ 0 = 1, 1 ∨ 1 = 1
4. Associativity: ( a b ) ∨ c = a ∨ ( b c )
The AND operator follows similar types of axioms with the following
boundary condition:
0 ∨ 0 = 0, 0 ∨ 1 = 0, 1 ∨ 0 = 0, 1 ∨ 1 = 1
Complement operator: a
Boundary condition: 1001

Fuzzy logic operators are widely used in fuzzy inference systems where if-
then rules follow. Suppose there are two fuzzy sets A with A = { a 1 , a 2 , …, a n }
and B with B = { b 1 , b 2 , …, b n }, the rules may be written as:
R 1 : If ( a b ), then c
R 2 : If ( a b ), then c
These fuzzy operators can be written using the min(∧) and max(∨) functions.
3.3 Fuzzy Operators Induced by Fuzzy t -Norm and t -Conorm
Suppose there are A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , …, A n criteria in multi-criteria decision-making
problem. For each A j , let A j ( x ) ∈ [0, 1] be a degree to which x satisfies the
criteria.  The problem is to formulate an overall decision D such that for
