    n A Note on Convex Fuzzy Sets Yudong Zou Kaigi ce, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian, 116026, P-R. China Department of Basic S Abstract This note is to give the additional properties which are required to characterize convex sets. Keywords: Convex fuzzy sets, the monotonicity. 1, Introduction Some properties of convex fuzzy sets were studied by Lowen [1], Liu [2] and yang [3,4]. In this note some additional properties which are required to characterize convex fuzzy sets are discussed. These additional properties are expressed in terms of the following line segment characterization of convex fuzzy sets and the monotonicity. 2. Prelimi Similar to [3] and [4], throughout this paper E will denote the n-dimensional Euclidean space R*, J denotes the interval [0,1], /°denotes ( 0,1) and [x, y] denotes set {ax+(1-a)y | ae} Fuzzy sets and values in J will be denoted by lower case Greek letters and we shall make no difference between notations for a fuzzy set with a constant value and that value itself. Definition 1. The fuzzy set A on E is said to be a convex fuzzy set if and only if for all xyeE and ael, Max+(1-aly) = AA)AKG) It is easy to sce that 2 is a convex fuzzy set if and only if for all a€/, A[a,1] is convex. 3. Main results This section gives the main results of this note. That is, we obtain some additional properties which are required to characterize convex fuzzy sets. Theorem 1. The fuzzy set A on £ is a convex fuzzy set if and only if for all line /in E, A isa convex fuzzy set on INE. ‘The proof is straightforward by Definition 1 ‘Theorem 2, The fuzzy set 2 on E is a convex fuzzy set if and only if for all x, ye £, there B exist intervals A (0eA) and B (0€B), such that fla) = Max +(I-a)y) is a increasing function on A, is a descent function on B, and AUBDI. Proof. Let A be a convex fuzzy set on E. (i) For V x, ye E, let A= {acl |S fla), W Osbsa} a and supd =a, @ Without loss of generality, suppose that a, >0, now we prove that (0, a, f(b). Form (2), there exists ab, such that b,>b. Consequently, we have (by) 2fb,) > Ab), that is, Ab) < flb,) » lb) @) Now, let ¢ 1%, =xtb,(y-x) and y, =x +b,(y-2), we have ce? and eyyt(L-e)e, = xy Felyy-x;) = x +60) Also, 2. is a convex fuzzy set, it follows that Ab) = Mx +b(y-x)) = Meyy+(1-c)x, 2 Mexy)AA(2) = Alby) a Alb.) contradicting (3). Thus, [0, a, )cA. Gi) For V xye E, let A= {bel| Ay +b(x-y)) 2 My +b, (wy), V 05,5) and supB=b, Similar to (i), we can show that (0, b, )f (a) by aé, there exists a.a”e/ and such that f(a") >f(a) by a€B. So we have f(a)f(a')af(a") Similar to (i), this leads to a contradiction. ‘Theorem 3. Let A be a convex fuzzy set on E. If there exists a a,¢/° such that Magx+(l-aa)y )2 Mx)aMy), Vx, ve EB Then set M= (ae? | Maxt(1-a)y 2 AQx)AAQ), Wx, ye E} is infinite and dense everywhere in Proof. Vx, ye E, since a¢M and M(-a)tagy ) = Magy+(1-aq)x )2 A(x) 0A(y) 4 we have 1-aeM . Now, agrt(I-a.)ye E, and aolaoxt(1-ay)y}+(1-aa)y = a5 x#(1-a5 Jy Therefore, Aa} x+(1-a2 WyI2Aagr+(I-aly AMIE MAAK) that is, a eM. It follows that at, (i-a!)eM, Vkeg¥~ by mathematical induction. Thus, Mis infinite, Now, we prove that M is dense everywhere in P' If that is not true, then there exist @ a, =supV(a) thatis, (4,2, )oM=@ (4) Choose ae (a) and a,¢U(a) such that J,
