Some remarks on distances between fuzzy numbers

In this paper we consider different approaches to assigning distances between fuzzy numbers. A pseudo-metric on the set of fuzzy numbers arising from the idea of the value of a fuzzy number is described, and some of its topological properties are noted. Reducing functions are used to define a family of metrics on the space of fuzzy numbers; some convergent properties for these metrics are illustrated. Finally, a fuzzy distance between fuzzy numbers is introduced and its basic properties are studied.
