2.1 Additional properties of alpha-cuts

The standard fuzzy intersection and fuzzy union are both

cutworthy when applied to two fuzzy sets.

The standard fuzzy intersection and fuzzy union are both strong cutworthy when applied to two

fuzzy sets.

The standard fuzzy complement is neither cutworthy nor strong cutworthy.

Alpha-cuts and strong alpha-cuts are always monotonic decreasing

with respect to alpha

2.2 Representations of fuzzy sets

In this section, we show that each fuzzy set can uniquely be represented by either the family of all its -cuts or the family of all its strong -cuts.

Representations of fuzzy sets by crisp sets (the first one): An example: Considering the fuzzy set

this can be represented by its -cuts:

Define a fuzzy set

we obtain

Now, it is easy to see that

2.3 Extension principle for fuzzy set

A crisp function:

f : X Y A fuzzified function

Its inverse function

An extension principle:a principle for fuzzifying crisp functions

Now, we first discuss the extended functions which are restricted to crisp power sets.
