On the convergence of fuzzy sets. (English) Zbl 0584.54004
Three kinds of convergences of fuzzy sets are defined by using the Hausdorff metric for supported endographs (Kloeden e.a.) ore by using the Hausdorff distances of the $\alpha$-level sets (Heilpern, the author e.a.). For fuzzy subsets of $R\sp n$ the author studies the relationships of this convergences and the fixed point property.
