    In the paper different generalizations of fuzzy sets are proposed and studied. Fuzzy set \(\bar x\) defined in a finite space is described in terms of ordered pairs \(\bar x=(\#/x)\) where {\#} stands for a number between 0 and 1 while x denotes a certain element of the universe of discourse. Two generalizations of fuzzy sets refer to (i) membership fuzzification (g-fuzzification), \(({\#}\bar{\;}/x),\) or equivalently (({\#}/{\#})/x) which lead to type-2 sets, and (ii) support fuzzification (s-fuzzification) \(({\#}/\bar x)\) (i.e. \(({\#}/({\#}/x))\) generating level-2 fuzzy sets. Next classes of generalized fuzzy sets are generated in a recursive manner which essence is to substitute any number {\#} by \(\overline{\#}\) and/or to replace x by the fuzzy set \(\bar x\). A reduction problem of generalized fuzzy sets is formulated and put into consideration. Three applicational examples dealing with decision-making, hierarchical analysis, expert systems within which generalized fuzzy sets arise are also provided.
