A generalization of Hukuhara difference

Abstract

We propose a generalization of the Hukuhara difference. First, the case of compact convex sets is examined; then, the results are applied to generalize the Hukuhara difference of fuzzy numbers, using their compact and convex level-cuts. Finally, a similar approach is seggested to attempt a generalization of division for real intervals and fuzzy numbers. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
