Examining fuzzy number approximation through a topological algebraic approach
摘要
In this paper, we delve into the study of fuzzy number approximation by LR fuzzy numbers, shedding light on their algebraic properties. We present a solid approach to approximate fuzzy numbers keeping the same expected interval and core proving that such approximation is additive and continuous under a wide family of distances. As a key part of this construction, we study the set of fuzzy numbers as a topological monoid and develop a process to embed any cancellative abelian topological monoid with open shifts in a topological abelian group. This allows us to demonstrate a highly useful result in the context of this paper: the continuity of homomorphisms between cancellative topological abelian monoids with open shifts is equivalent to its continuity at zero.
