Question: Can Maple Handle Fuzzy Derivatives and Plotting in Fuzzy Logic Contexts?

This question is actually on behalf of a colleague who works with fuzzy mathematics. He typically computes things like fuzzy derivatives by hand, including for specific functions such as "function 14" (though I'm not familiar with the specific form of that function). He’s interested in whether Maple can symbolically and numerically handle tasks in fuzzy calculus — especially taking and plotting fuzzy derivatives.

I’m not experienced with fuzzy systems myself, but I’d like to recommend Maple to him if it supports these features. So my main questions are:

  1. Can Maple compute and plot fuzzy functions and their derivatives?

  2. Does Maple have built-in support or packages for fuzzy arithmetic or fuzzy calculus?

  3. If not natively, is there a workaround or external library that integrates with Maple to do this?

I’d really appreciate any insights or examples. It seems like a missed opportunity for my friend to be doing all this manually when such software might already handle it.

Thanks in advance!
