Properties of f correlated fuzzy numbers

Abstract

This paper presents some concepts of the theory of interactive fuzzy numbers, and mainly, a class of interactive fuzzy numbers, called $f$-correlated fuzzy numbers. We start from the foundations of general fuzzy mathematics and go through operations and the notion of interactivity for fuzzy numbers. The main result is that $f$-correlation preserve the shape of certains fuzzy numbers. More specificaly, if two fuzzy numbers are $f$ correlated, and one is a LR-type fuzzy number, the other is also a LR-type fuzzy number. This paper also presents some operations with the $f$-correlated fuzzy numbers wich are interesting to applications like biomathematics.
