Abstract

Two important areas of mathematics are related by modeling purposes: Biomathematics and Fuzzy Sets Theory. Both have a point in common in their history of development: a respected background in formal theory and a wide range of applications, both attained in the twentieth century. That is, both areas are new scientific tendencies in comparison to those mathematical areas with centuries of discussion and establishment.

…type-2 fuzzy sets can capture two kind of linguistic uncertainties simultaneously (the uncertainty of individual and uncertainties of a group about a word) whereas type-1 cannot…[ 29] Jerry M. Mendel (2015)
