Abstract
One of the most basic concepts of fuzzy set theory that can be used to generalize crisp mathematical concepts to fuzzy sets is the extension principle. In its elementary form, it was already implied in Zadeh’s first contribution [1965]. In the meantime, modifications have been suggested [Zadeh 1973a; Zadeh et al. 1975; Jain 1976].
