Hi,
An _ordinary fuzzy set_ A has a membership function of the form
A:X-->[0,1]. I.e. its membership values are reals in [0,1].
A _type 2 fuzzy set_ A has a membership function of the form
A:X-->F([0,1]), where F([0,1]) is the fuzzy power set of [0,1], i.e.
the set of all ordinary fuzzy subsets of [0,1]. I.e. its membership
values are ordinary fuzzy sets. On these, see for example:
Mizumoto and Tanaka, 1976, `Some properties of fuzzy sets of type 2',
Information and Control, 31 (4), 312--40.
Mizumoto and Tanaka, 1981, `Fuzzy sets of type 2 under algebraic
product and algebraic sum', Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 5 (3), 277--90.
A _level 2 fuzzy set_ A has a membership function of the form
A:F(X)-->[0,1], where F(X) is the fuzzy power set of the crisp set X,
i.e. the set of all ordinary fuzzy subsets of X. I.e. it is defined
within a universal set whose elements are ordinary fuzzy sets. On
these, see for example:
Zadeh, 1971, `Quantitative fuzzy semantics', Information Sciences, 3
(2), 159--76.
Gottwald, 1979, `Set theory for fuzzy sets of higher level', Fuzzy Sets
and Systems, 2 (2), 125--51.
