Supremum metric on the space of fuzzy sets and common fixed point theorems for fuzzy mappings (Q942333)

Let \((X,d)\) be a metric space. Let \({\mathcal C}{\mathcal B}(X)\) be the collection of fuzzy sets \(\mu\), such that the \(\alpha\)-cut of \(\mu\) is a nonempty bounded closed set in \(X\), and let \(d_\infty\) be the metric for \({\mathcal C}{\mathcal B}(X)\) where \(d_\infty\) is induced by the Hausdorff metric. The authors establish that if \((X,d)\) is complete, then \(({\mathcal C}{\mathcal B}(X))\) is also a complete metric space. Some common fixed point theorems for fuzzy mappings are proved.
