Strong laws of large numbers for independent fuzzy set-valued random variables. (English) Zbl 1104.60307
Summary: We shall present strong laws of large numbers (SLLN’s) for independent (not necessarily identically distributed) fuzzy set-valued random variables whose base space is a separable Banach space or a Euclidean space, in the sense of the extended Hausdorff metric $$d_{H}^{\infty}$$. We apply the method to the sequence of independent identically distributed fuzzy set-valued random variables to give a simple proof of SLLN’s.
