摘要
Sigmoidal theory is a new theory that defines and analyzes a new family of functions called sigmoidal functions. A number of theorems proved show that there is an infinite number of classes of sigmoidal functions and provide us with a method of constructing those classes. Subsequently, multi-sigmoidal functions can be constructed using classes of sigmoidal functions. The applications of sigmoidal functions range from fuzzy sets to neural networks and pattern recognition. In particular, sigmoidal functions are shown to be very appropriate functions to model fuzzy set membership. The formalization of sigmoidal functions here is expected to increase the interest in them and result in a number of new applications.
