Abstract

For crisp sets X and Y, considering two fuzzy equalities Ex, Er on X and Y, respectively, the concept of fuzzy function and several types of it were studied in M. Demirci, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 106 (1999) 239-246. In this paper, for a fuzzy relation f on X x Y, considering the fuzzy equalities Ex on X and Er an Y the degree of f of being fuzzy function, being surjective, being injective and being bijective is defined. Then setting the connections between several types of degree of being fuzzy function and various types of fuzzy function the essential properties of these degrees are investigated.
