- “A finite set of possibly fuzzy instructions which define a fuzzy set in terms of other fuzzy sets (and possibly itself, i.e. recursively) or constitute a procedure for computing the grade of membership of any element of the universe of discourse in the set under definition” (L.A. ZADEH, 1973b, p.40).
ZADEH explains: “In the latter case, the definitional algorithm plays the role of an identificational algorithm, that is an algorithm which identifies whether or not an element belongs to a set or, more generally, determines its grade of membership” (p.40).
