What is a Crisp Set?
A "crisp set" or "crisp logic" refers to the traditional, classical set theory and logic where elements either belong to a set or do not, with no in-between or degrees of membership. In crisp logic, membership is binary—something is either a member of a set (true) or not (false).

What is a Fuzzy Logic?
Fuzzy logic is a mathematical framework that deals with reasoning and decision-making in the presence of uncertainty and imprecision. Unlike classical (Boolean) logic, which is based on binary values (true or false, 0 or 1), fuzzy logic allows for the representation of partial truth or degrees of truth. In fuzzy logic, truth values are expressed using the concept of "fuzziness" or degrees of membership in a set. Instead of crisp distinctions, fuzzy logic uses linguistic terms such as "very true," "mostly false," "partially true," etc., to describe the degree of truthfulness.
  • Fuzzy Sets: In classical set theory, an element either belongs to a set or does not. In fuzzy set theory, elements can belong to a set to a certain degree, expressed as a value between 0 and 1.
  • Membership Functions: These functions define the degree of membership of an element in a fuzzy set. They map elements to a value between 0 and 1, indicating the degree of membership.
  • Fuzzy Rules: These are if-then rules that express relationships between input and output variables. They use linguistic terms and fuzzy logic operators to make decisions.
  • Fuzzy Inference System (FIS): This is the overarching structure that encompasses fuzzy sets, membership functions, rules, and inference mechanisms. FIS processes input data and produces fuzzy output.
  • Membership Functions: These functions define the degree of membership of an element in a fuzzy set. They map elements to a value between 0 and 1, indicating the degree of membership.
  • Defuzzification: The process of converting the fuzzy output into a crisp value for practical use.
Example of temperature control in an air conditioner.
In traditional logic, you might have a simple rule: if the temperature is above a certain point, turn the AC ON; otherwise, turn it OFF. It's a clear-cut decision. In fuzzy logic, instead of strict rules like "ON" or "OFF," you might have rules like: If it's very hot, increases cooling a lot. If it's somewhat hot, increase cooling a bit. If it's neither hot nor cold, maintain the current cooling level. If it's somewhat cold, decrease cooling a bit. If it's very cold, turn off the AC.
The terms like "very hot," "somewhat hot," etc., represent fuzzy sets. The degree to which it's "very hot" or "somewhat hot" is determined by fuzzy logic. It allows for a more nuanced and flexible approach to decision-making based on the imprecise nature of temperature descriptions.

What is Degree of Membership (DOM)
The "degree of membership" is a measure used in fuzzy logic to express the extent to which an element belongs to a fuzzy set. In fuzzy logic, unlike classical set theory where an element is either a member (with a membership of 1) or not (with a membership of 0), the degree of membership allows for a more gradual and nuanced representation. The degree of membership is a value between 0 and 1, where 0 means the element does not belong to the fuzzy set at all, and 1 means it fully belongs. Values between 0 and 1 indicate partial membership, representing the degree to which the element is part of the fuzzy set.
