On fuzzy compact-open topology (Q1357168)

The concept of compact-open topology plays a vital role in defining function spaces in general topology. We introduce the concept of fuzzy compact-open topology and contribute some theories and results related to this concept. The concepts of fuzzy local compactness and fuzzy product topology play a vital role in the theory that we have developed in this paper. We have used the fuzzy local compactness notion due to \textit{C. K. Wong} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 46, 316-328 (1974; Zbl 0278.54004)], \textit{F. T. Christoph} [ibid. 57, 497-504 (1977; Zbl 0357.54008)] and fuzzy product topology due to \textit{C. K. Wong} [ibid. 45, 512-521 (1974; Zbl 0273.54002)].
