Constructor Detail

FuzzyInterval

public FuzzyInterval()

Default FuzzyInterval constructor. This constructor creates a valid default fuzzy interval with the coordinates (0.0, 0.0), (1.0, 1.0), (2.0, 1.0) and (3.0, 0.0).

Method Detail

getId

public int getId()

Returns the technical identifier (e.g. within a database).

Returns:

the ID

getMembershipFunction

public final MembershipFunction getMembershipFunction()

Returns the membership function.

Returns:

the membershipFunction property

See Also:

setMembershipFunction(MembershipFunction)

setMembershipFunction

public final void setMembershipFunction(MembershipFunction newMembershipFunction)

Sets the membership function.

Parameters:

newMembershipFunction - The new value for the property.

See Also:

getMembershipFunction()

invert

public final void invert()
                  throws PropertyVetoException

Inverts this fuzzy interval.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - when the attempt to set the property is vetoed by a listener

isNegative

public final boolean isNegative()

Checks whether the fuzzy interval is negative. A fuzzy interval is negative if degree of membership is only greater than zero when x is lower than zero.

Returns:

true if fuzzy interval is negative, false otherwise

isPositive

public final boolean isPositive()

Checks whether the fuzzy interval is positive. A fuzzy interval is positive if degree of membership is only greater than zero when x is also greater than zero.

Returns:

true if fuzzy interval is positive, false otherwise

isValidFuzzyLRInterval

public final boolean isValidFuzzyLRInterval()

Checks whether the fuzzy interval fulfills the requirements of a fuzzy LR interval. In addition to the requirements for a fuzzy interval the membership function must be represented by two reference function L and R.

Returns:

true if the fuzzy interval would be a fuzzy LR interval false, otherwise

See Also:

#isValidFuzzyInterval

negate

public final void negate()
                  throws PropertyVetoException

Negates the fuzzy interval.

Throws:

PropertyVetoException - when the attempt to set the property is vetoed by a listener

addPropertyChangeListener

public final void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds a PropertyChangeListener to the listener list. The listener is registered for all properties.

A PropertyChangeEvent will get fired in response to setting a bound property.

Parameters:

listener - the PropertyChangeListener to be added

removePropertyChangeListener

public final void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Removes a PropertyChangeListener from the listener list. This removes a PropertyChangeListener that was registered for all properties.

Parameters:

listener - the PropertyChangeListener to be removed

propertyChange

public final void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)

Specified by:

propertyChange in interface PropertyChangeListener

vetoableChange

public final void vetoableChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt)
                          throws PropertyVetoException

Specified by:

vetoableChange in interface VetoableChangeListener

Throws:

PropertyVetoException

clone

public Object clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object

equals

public final boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

toString

public String toString(boolean withMembershipFunction)

Returns a textual representation of the fuzzy interval

Parameters:

withMembershipFunction - true if all points of membership function are also returned, false otherwise.

Returns:

a string representation of the fuzzy interval

MembershipFunction.toString()
