TLDR
This paper investigates the algebraic structures of fuzzy grades under the operations of join ⊔, meet ⊓, and negation ┐ which are defined by using the extension principle, and shows that convex fuzzy grades form a commutative semiring and normal convex fuzzies form a distributive lattice under ⊢ and ⊡.
Abstract
The concept of fuzzy sets of type 2 has been defined by L. A. Zadeh as an extension of ordinary fuzzy sets. The fuzzy set of type 2 can be characterized by a fuzzy membership function the grade (or fuzzy grade) of which is a fuzzy set in the unit interval [0, 1] rather than a point in [0, 1]. This paper investigates the algebraic structures of fuzzy grades under the operations of join ⊔, meet ⊔, and negation ┐ which are defined by using the extension principle, and shows that convex fuzzy grades form a commutative semiring and normal convex fuzzy grades form a distributive lattice under ⊔ and ⊓. Moreover, the algebraic properties of fuzzy grades under the operations and which are slightly different from ⊔ and ⊓, respectively, are briefly discussed.

Operations on fuzzy numbers

TL;DR: The usual algebraic operations on real numbers are extended to fuzzy numbers by the use of a fuzzification principle, and the practical use of fuzzified operations is shown to be easy, requiring no more computation than when dealing with error intervals in classic tolerance analysis.

Type-2 fuzzy sets made simple

TL;DR: Establishing a small set of terms that let us easily communicate about type-2 fuzzy sets and also let us define such sets very precisely, and presenting a new representation for type- 2 fuzzy sets, and using this new representation to derive formulas for union, intersection and complement of type-1 fuzzy sets without having to use the Extension Principle.

Hesitant fuzzy sets

TL;DR: It is proved that the envelope of the hesitant fuzzy sets is an intuitionistic fuzzy set, and it is proved also that the operations proposed are consistent with the ones of intuitionist fuzzy sets when applied to the envelope.

Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets for Decision Making

TL;DR: The concept of a hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set is introduced to provide a linguistic and computational basis to increase the richness of linguistic elicitation based on the fuzzy linguistic approach and the use of context-free grammars by using comparative terms.

A Fuzzy-Set-Theoretic Interpretation of Linguistic Hedges

TL;DR: A basic idea suggested in this paper is that a linguistic hedge such as very, more or less, much, essentially, etc. may be viewed as an operator which acts on the fuzzy set representing the meaning of its operand.
