Abstract
Multisets alias bags are similar to fuzzy sets but essentially different in basic concepts and operations. We overview multisets together with basics of fuzzy sets in order to observe differences between the two. We then introduce fuzzy multisets and the combination of the both concepts. There is another concept of real-valued multisets as a generalization of multisets. Rough approximations of multisets and fuzzy multisets are discussed which uses a natural projection of the universal set onto the set of equivalence classes.
