Approximations by Linear Operators in Spaces of Fuzzy Continuous Functions

Abstract

In this work, we further develop the Korovkin-type approximation theory by utilizing a fuzzy logic approach and principles of neoclassical analysis, which is a new branch of fuzzy mathematics and extends possibilities provided by the classical analysis. In the conventional setting, the Korovkin-type approximation theory is developed for continuous functions. Here we extend it to the space of fuzzy continuous functions, which contains a great diversity of functions that are not continuous. Furthermore, we give several applications, demonstrating that our new approximation results are stronger than the classical ones.
