2.1 Additional properties of alpha-cuts
o
The standard fuzzy intersection
and fuzzy union are both
cutworthy when applied to two
fuzzy sets.
The standard fuzzy intersection
and fuzzy union are both strong
cutworthy when applied to two
fuzzy sets.
The standard fuzzy complement is
neither cutworthy nor strong cutworthy.
Alpha-cuts and strong alpha-cuts are
always monotonic decreasing with
respect to alpha

2.2 Representations of fuzzy sets
In this section, we show that each fuzzy set can uniquely
be represented by either the family of all its -cuts or the
family of all its strong -cuts.
Representations of fuzzy sets by crisp sets (the first one):
An example: Considering the fuzzy set
this can be represented by its -cuts:

2.3 Extension principle for fuzzy set
A crisp function:
f : X Y
A fuzzified function
Its inverse function
An extension principle:
a principle for fuzzifying crisp functions
Now, we first discuss the extended functions which are
restricted to crisp power sets.
