Strong laws of large numbers for independent fuzzy set-valued random variables

In this paper, we shall present strong laws of large numbers (SLLN’s) for independent (not necessary identically distributed) fuzzy set-valued random variables whose base space is a separable Banach space or an Euclidean space, in the sense of the extended Hausdorff metric d∞ H .We apply the method to the sequence of independent identically distributed fuzzy set-valued random variables to give a simple proof of SLLN’s. © 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
