Dear Hsiao,
what to do best, depends on your intents. If you continually use the
triangle-functions (e.g. as fuzzy sets) then an idea would be to define
your own appropriate funtional calculus, e.g. as such:
A[x_, x0_, width_] :=
(x - x0 + width)/width UnitStep[x - x0 + width] UnitStep[-(x - x0)]
- (x - x0 - width)/width UnitStep[-(x - x0 - width)] UnitStep[x - x0]
(width is the width at half height), so you have a function you can
integrate, differentiate etc., or e.g.
In[128]:= Plot[A[x, 1, 2], {x, -2, 4}]
To find the inverse, calculate once (by hand):
Ainvers[a_, x0_, width_] := If[0 <= a <= 1, width {-1, 1}(1 - a) +
x0,{}]
In[134]:= Simplify[Ainvers[a, 1, 2], 0 <= a <= 1]
Out[134]= {-1 + 2 a, 3 - 2 a}
Of course if you want to deal with the case a==0 you may include
Interval[{-Infinity, -width + x0}, {width + x0, Infinity}] or not, that
depends on what you want, perhaps that could be something more like
In[147]:= chi[A, a_, x0_, width_] :=
If[0 <= a <= 1, Interval[width {-1, 1}(1 - a) + x0] ]
In[149]:= chi[A, 1/2, 1, 2]
Out[149]= Interval[{0, 2}]
In[150]:= chi[A, 1, 1, 2]
Out[150]= Interval[{1, 1}]
In[152]:= chi[A, 0, 1, 2]
Out[152]= Interval[{-1, 3}]
Kind regards, hw
