Abstract
Many different kinds of sets have been defined within the framework of fuzzy sets . This paper focusses on those fuzzy set extensions that address the difficulties that experts find in order to build the membership values. In particular, we analyze type-2 fuzzy sets , interval-valued fuzzy sets , Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets , or bipolar sets of type-2 and Atanassov’s interval-valued fuzzy sets. After stating a general approach to these extensions, we remark some structural problems in the extension problem and stress some applications for which the results obtained with extens
