- FUZZY ARITHMETIC LIBRARY
- (alpha version)
-
- This package contains a very simple implementation of a fuzzy
- number representation using confidence intervals, together with the basic
- arithmetic operators and trigonometrical functions.
-
-
- The library is written in the C++ language and has been tested
- with Borland C++ 3.1 and djgpp 1.11 under Ms-Dos, and with gcc 2.5.8 under
- Linux and Hp-Ux. Provided codes, although tested, are to be considered as
- alpha version: USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.
-
-
- No manual is available yet. Print and read carefully the paper
- provided into paper.dvi: it contains a brief explanation of our work and
- points out the critical cases. In particular, see section 2.4. about
- the multiple occurrence problem: at Dipartimento di Matematica we
- implemented the described algorithms in a previous FORTRAN libray but
- I did not ported them into the current C++ library yet.
- You can also refer to the book

-
- The library is available by anonymous FTP from the server of
- Dipartimento di Matematica (Universita' di Catania, Italy):
-
- - ftp to mathct.dipmat.unict.it (151.97.252.1),
- log on as 'anonymous' and give your user ID as password.
-
- - change directory into 'fuzzy' (the system is a VAX running VMS)
- and change trasmission method to binary.
-
- - get the files fznum*.zip (msdos) or fznum*.taz (unix tar and
- compress) or fznum*.tgz (unix tar and gzip).
-
-
- The library IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE: you can freely use and
- distribute it provided that:
-
- - you cite me (Salvatore Deodato) and Dipartimento di Matematica
- of Universita' di Catania (Italy) in all your derived works.
-
- - you send me an e-mail writing what is your interest in fuzzy
- arithmetic, your comments on the package and your use of it.
-
-
- I would be grateful for bug reports (even better, fixes): I will
- try to support you as well as my current job will allow me that. Do
- send me your enhancements too, and I will try to incorporate them in
- future releases.
