Convergence, Strong Law of Large Numbers, and Measurement Theory in the Language of Fuzzy Variables

Abstract

In the paper we define the convergence of compact fuzzy sets as a convergence of α-cuts in the topology of compact subsets of a metric space. Furthermore we define typical convergences of fuzzy variables and show relations with convergence of their fuzzy distributions. In this context we prove a general formulation of the Strong Law of Large Numbers for fuzzy sets and fuzzy variables with Archimedean t-norms. Next we dispute a structure of fuzzy logics and postulate a new definition of necessity measures. Finally, we prove fuzzy version of the Glivenko-Cantelli theorem and use it for a construction of a complete fuzzy measurement theory.
