Scalar multiplication on LR fuzzy numbers

Description

This function calculates the scalar multiplication of any non-zero real number to any LR fuzzy number on the basis of Zadeh extension principle by the following formula which is for any LR fuzzy number M=(m, \alpha, \beta)_{LR} and real number \lambda \in R-\{0\} :

\lambda \odot M = M \odot \lambda =\left\{ \begin{array}{lcc} (\lambda m, \lambda \alpha, \lambda \beta)_{LR} &\ \ if & \ \ \lambda > 0 \\ (\lambda m, -\lambda \beta, -\lambda \alpha)_{RL} &\ \ if & \ \ \lambda < 0 \end{array} \right.

Usage

s.m(k, N)

Arguments

k

A non-zero real number

N

A LR (or RL, or L) fuzzy number

Details

This function has commutative property, i.e k \odot M = M \odot k .

Value

A LR (or RL or L) fuzzy number
