Maximum of fuzzy nubmers
Determines maximum fuzzy number based on two inputs.
## S4 method for signature ## 'PiecewiseLinearFuzzyNumber,PiecewiseLinearFuzzyNumber' maximum(e1, e2)
e1 |
a PiecewiseLinearFuzzyNumber |
e2 |
a PiecewiseLinearFuzzyNumber |
The resulting PiecewiseLinearFuzzyNumber is only an approximation of the result it might not be very precise for small number of knots (see examples).
Returns a PiecewiseLinearFuzzyNumber representing maximal value of the inputs.
