Fuzzy transform, numerical integration, quadrature rules

This research reduces the complexity of computing the components of the integral Fm-transform, m ≥ 0, whose analytic expressions include definite integrals. We propose to use nontrivial quadrature rules with nonuniformly distributed integration points instead of the widely used Newton–Cotes formulas. As the weight function that determines orthogonality, we choose the generating function of the fuzzy partition associated with the Fm-transform. Taking into account this fact and the fact of exact integration of orthogonal polynomials, we obtain exact analytic expressions for the denominators of the components of the Fm-transformation and their approximate analytic expressions, which include only elementary arithmetic operations. This allows us to effectively estimate the components of the Fm-transformation for 0 ≤ m ≤ 3. As a side result, we obtain a new method of numerical integration, which can be recommended not only for continuous functions, but also for strongly oscillating functions. The advantage of the proposed calculation method is shown by examples.
