Abstract

It has been accepted that for a fuzzy set and its complement , neither is the null set, nor is the universal set. Whereas the operations of union and intersection of two crisp sets are indeed special cases of the corresponding operations of two fuzzy sets, they end up with peculiar results while defining and . In this regard, H. K. Baruah proposed that in the current definition of the complement of a fuzzy set, fuzzy membership function and fuzzy membership value had been taken to be the same, which led to the conclusion that the fuzzy sets do not follow the set theoretic axioms of exclusion and contradiction. H. K. Baruah has put forward an extended definition of fuzzy set and redefined the complement of a fuzzy set accordingly. In this paper, we are trying to improve the notion of union and intersection of fuzzy sets proposed by Baruah and generalize the concept of complement of a fuzzy set when the fuzzy reference function is not zero. We support our definition of complement of an extended fuzzy set with examples and show that indeed our definition satisfies all those properties that complement of a set really does in classical sense.
