Fuzzy random variables (Q5903111)

In a previous paper [ibid. 91, 552-558 (1983; Zbl 0528.54009)] the authors defined differentials for a fuzzy valued function. In this clearly thought and well-written paper they define an integral, or an expected value, of a fuzzy valued random variable. The definition is based on the integral of a set-valued function. The authors give an existence theorem for the expected value and derive the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem for fuzzy random variables. A different kind of expected value is defined by \textit{H. Kwakernaak} [Inf. Sci. 15, 1-29 (1978; Zbl 0438.60004)] and \textit{W. E. Stein} and \textit{K. Talati} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 6, 271-283 (1981; Zbl 0467.60005)].
