Fuzzy pseudo-norms and fuzzy F-spaces

In the present paper we firstly introduce the notion of fuzzy pseudo-norm, then we extend, improve and complete the results obtained by T. Bag and S.K. Samanta for fuzzy norms, in the fuzzy pseudo-norms context. Lastly, we introduce and discuss the notions of fuzzy F-norm and fuzzy F-space. By means of several auxiliary results, we obtain a characterization of metrizable topological linear spaces in terms of fuzzy F-norm.
