SECTION – A |
Answer ALL the Questions (10 x 2 = 20 marks)
- Define a fuzzy set. Give an example.
- Define α–cut and strong α –cut of a fuzzy set.
- Define height of a fuzzy set. What is a normal fuzzy set?
- What is the axiomatic skeleton for fuzzy complements?
- Give two examples of fuzzy t-conorm that are frequently used as fuzzy unions.
- If X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} and A is a fuzzy set defined by the membership function
A(x) = x / 4, find the scalar cardinality of A
- Give an example of fuzzy set operations that constitute a dual triple.
- Distinguish between direct and indirect methods of constructing membership
functions.
- Define an ‘Artificial Neural Network’.
- State the formal definition of ‘Knowledge’.
SECTION – B |
Answer any FIVE Questions (5 x 8 = 40 marks)
- Prove that a fuzzy set A on R is convex if and only if A(λx1 + (1 – λ) x2) ≥
min[A(x1), A(x2)] for all x1, x2 R and all where min denotes the
minimum operator.
- Let Ai F(X) for all iI, where I is an index set. Then prove that
and .
- Explain the extension principle for fuzzy sets.
- Prove that the standard fuzzy intersection is the only idempotent t-norm.
- Let X = R and let A be a fuzzy set defined by the membership function
x – 1, 1 ≤ x ≤ 2
A (x) = 3 – x , 2 ≤x ≤ 3
0, otherwise
Plot the membership function and the ½ -cut and ¼ -cut of A. Also find the support and core and state whether it is a normal fuzzy set.
- Define an increasing generator and decreasing generator and their Pseudo-inverses.
Give an example for both and find their Pseudo-inverses.
- Discuss the indirect method of constructing membership functions with one expert.
- Describe a multilayer feed forward network with a neat diagram.

Answer any TWO Questions (2 x 20 = 40 marks)
- (a) Let A, B F(X). Then prove that the following properties hold good for all
.
(b) Give an example to show third decomposition theorem. (15 + 5)
- (a) State and prove First decomposition theorem.
(b) Prove that every fuzzy complement has at most one equilibrium. (12 + 8)
- Let X ={x1, ..,x4} be a universal set and suppose three experts E1, E2, E3 have
specified the valuations of these four as elements of two fuzzy sets A and B as given
in the following table:
Membership in A Membership in B
Element | E1 | E2 | E3 |
x1
x2 x3 x4 |
1
0 1 1 |
1
1 0 1 |

Assuming that for set A, the evaluations by the three experts have to be given
weights as c1 = ½, c2 = ¼, c3 = ¼ and for set B as equal weights, find the degree of
membership of the four elements in A and in B. Also, evaluate the degree of
membership in A∩B using the Standard intersection and Bounded difference function and that in AUB using the Standard union and Drastic Union..
- (a)Describe the basic model of a neuron with a neat diagram, labeling its elements
and explaining the notations.
(b)Discuss the three basic types of activation functions.
