Abstract: | Abstract A new procedure for construction of a fuzzy number is given, based on the covering of points by consequently contracting intervals. The approach leads to the membership function in the form of Devil's staircase, a borderline fractal finding many applications in the modern physics. The alternative definition of subsethood based on the self-similarity of the sets is also given. |
