In May 1, 2008, researchers at Hewlett Packard (HP) announced the first physical realization of a fundamental circuit element called memristor that attracted so much interest worldwide. This newly found element can easily be combined with crossbar interconnect technology which this new structure has opened a new field in designing configurable or programmable electronic systems. These systems in return can have applications in signal processing and artificial intelligence. In this paper, based on the simple memristor crossbar structure, we propose new and simple circuits for hardware implementation of fuzzy membership functions. In our proposed circuits, these fuzzy membership functions can have any shapes and resolutions. In addition, these circuits can be used as a basis in the construction of evolutionary systems.
