    Let X be a linear metric space and let W denote the family of normal, convex, upper semicontinuous, compactly supported fuzzy sets defined on X. Suppose F is a fuzzy mapping, i.e. F:X\(\to W\). Then a \(z\in X\) is a fixed point of F if \(\{\) \(z\}\) \(\subset F(z)\), that is \(F(z)(z)=1.\) The authors extend some fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings into a fuzzy setting. For related results see also \textit{R. K. Bose} and \textit{D. Sahani} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 21, 53-58 (1987; Zbl 0609.54032)], \textit{D. Butnariu} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 7, 191-207 (1982; Zbl 0473.90087)] and \textit{S. Heilpern} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 83, 566-569 (1981; Zbl 0486.54006)]. Recently \textit{A. Chitra} and \textit{P. V. Subrahmanyam} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 124, 584-590 (1987; Zbl 0628.47035)] introduced an elegant method for proving fuzzy fixed point theorems: define a multivalued mapping \(g(x)=F_ 1(x)\), where \(F_ 1(x)\) denotes the l-level set of F(x), and apply a corresponding fixed point theorem to the multivalued mapping g. In literature there also appear different kinds of fixed point theorems related to fuzziness. See for instance \textit{O. Hadžic} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 29, 115-125 (1989)], \textit{O. Kaleva} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 17, 53-65 (1985; Zbl 0584.54004)] and \textit{M. D. Weiss} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 50, 142-150 (1975; Zbl 0297.54004)].
