Fritz Carlson’s type inequality for fuzzy integrals is studied in a rather general form The main results of this paper generalize some previous results
1 Introduction and Preliminaries
Recently, the study of fuzzy integral inequalities has gained much attention The most popu-lar method is using the Sugeno integral1 The study of inequalities for Sugeno integral was initiated by Rom´an-Flores et al.2,3 and then followed by the others 4 11
Now, we introduce some basic notation and properties For details, we refer the reader
to1,12
Suppose thatΣ is a σ-algebra of subsets of X, and let μ : Σ → 0, ∞ be a nonnegative, extended real-valued set function We say that μ is a fuzzy measure if it satisfies
1 μ∅ 0,
2 E, F ∈ Σ and E ⊂ F imply μE ≤ μF monotonicity;
3 {E n } ⊂ Σ, E1⊂ E2⊂ · · · imply limn→ ∞μ E n μ∞n1E n continuity from below,
4 {E n } ⊂ Σ, E1 ⊃ E2 ⊃ · · · , μE1 < ∞, imply lim n→ ∞μ E n μ∞
n1E n continuity from above
If f is a nonnegative real-valued function defined on X, we will denote by L α f {x ∈
X : f x ≥ α} {f ≥ α} the α-level of f for α > 0, and L0f {x ∈ : fx > 0} supp f is the support of f Note that if α ≤ β, then {f ≥ β} ⊂ {f ≥ α}.
LetX, Σ, μ be a fuzzy measure space; by F μ
X we denote the set of all nonnegative
μ-measurable functions with respect toΣ
Trang 2Definition 1.1see 1 Let X, Σ, μ be a fuzzy measure space, with f ∈ F μ
X, and A ∈ Σ,
then the Sugeno integralor fuzzy integral of f on A with respect to the fuzzy measure μ is
defined by
A
fdμ
α≥0
where∨ and ∧ denote the operations sup and inf on 0, ∞, respectively.
It is well known that the Sugeno integral is a type of nonlinear integral; that is, for general cases,
does not hold
The following properties of the fuzzy integral are well known and can be found in12
Proposition 1.2 Let X, Σ, μ be a fuzzy measure space, with A, B ∈ Σ and f, g ∈ F μ
X; then
1
A fdμ ≤ μA,
2
A kdμ k ∧ μA, for k a nonnegative constant,
3 if f ≤ g on A then
A fdμ≤
A gdμ,
4 if A ⊂ B then
A fdμ≤
A fdμ,
5 μA ∩ {f ≥ α} ≥ α ⇒
A fdμ ≥ α,
6 μA ∩ {f ≥ α} ≤ α ⇒
A f dμ ≤ α,
7
A fdμ < α ⇔ there exists γ < α such that μA ∩ {f ≥ γ} < α,
8
A fdμ > α ⇔ there exists γ > α such that μA ∩ {f ≥ γ} > α.
Remark 1.3 Let F be the distribution function associated with f on A, that is, F α μA ∩ {f ≥ α} By 5 and 6 ofProposition 1.2
F α α ⇒
A
Thus, from a numerical point of view, the Sugeno integral can be calculated by solving the
equation Fα α.

In this paper, our purpose is to give a generalization of the above Fritz Carlson’s inequality for fuzzy integrals Moreover, we will give many interesting corollaries of our main results
2 Main Results
This section provides a generalization of Fritz Carlson’s type inequality for Sugeno integrals Before stating our main results, we need the following lemmas
Lemma 2.1 see 11 Let X, Σ, μ be a fuzzy measure space, f ∈ F μ
X, A ∈ Σ,
A fdμ ≤ 1, and
s ≥ 1 Then
A
f s dμ≥
A
fdμ
s
If the fuzzy measure μ inLemma 2.1is the Lebesgue measure, then
1
0 fdμ ≤ 1 is satisfied readily Thus, byLemma 2.1, we have the following
Corollary 2.2 see 8 Let f : 0, 1 → 0, ∞ be a μ-measurable function with μ the Lebesgue
measure and s ≥ 1 Then
1 0
f s xdμx ≥ 1

f xdμx

Definition 2.3 Two functions f, g : X → R are said to be comonotone if for all x, y ∈ X2,
f x − fy
g x − gy
An important property of comonotone functions is that for any real numbers p, q, either {f ≥ p} ⊂ {g ≥ q} or {g ≥ q} ⊂ {f ≥ p}.
Note that two monotone functionsin the same sense are comonotone
Theorem 2.4 Let X, Σ, μ be a fuzzy measure space, f, g ∈ Fμ X and f and g comonotone
functions, A ∈ Σ with
A fdμ ≤ 1, and
A gdμ ≤ 1 Then
A
f · gdμ ≥
A
fdμ
·
A
gdμ
Trang 4
Proof If
A fdμ 0 or
A gdμ 0 then the inequality is obvious Now choose α, β such that
1≥
A
fdμ > α > 0, 1≥
A
gdμ > β > 0. 2.5 Then by8 ofProposition 1.2, there exist 1 > γ α > α and 1 > γ β > β such that
μ
A∩f ≥ γ α
> α, μ
A∩g ≥ γ β
> β. 2.6
As f and g are comonotone functions, then either {f ≥ γ α } ⊂ {g ≥ γ β } or {g ≥ γ β } ⊂ {f ≥ γ α} Suppose that{f ≥ γ α } ⊂ {g ≥ γ β} In this case, we have the following:
μ
A∩fg ≥ γ α γ β
≥ μA∩f ≥ γ α
∩A∩g ≥ γ β
μA∩f ≥ γ α
> α ≥ αβ.
2.7 Therefore, by applying8 ofProposition 1.2again, we find that
A
Since the values of α, β > 0 are arbitrary, we obtain the desired inequality Similarly, for the
case{g ≥ γ β } ⊂ {f ≥ γ α} we can get the desired inequality too
FromTheorem 2.4, we get the following
Corollary 2.5 see 15 Let μ be an arbitrary fuzzy measure on 0, a and f, g : 0, a → be two real-valued measurable functions such that
a
0 fdμ ≤ 1 and
a
0 gdμ ≤ 1 If f and g are increasing (or
decreasing) functions, then the inequality
a
0
f · gdμ ≥
0
fdμ
·
0
gdμ
2.9
holds.
If the fuzzy measure μ in Corollary 2.5 is the Lebesgue measure and a 1, then
a
0 fdμ≤ 1 and
a
0 gdμ≤ 1 are satisfied readily Thus, byCorollary 2.5, we obtain
Corollary 2.6 see 2 Let f, g : 0, 1 → be two real-valued functions, and let μ be the Lebesgue measure on If f, g are both continuous and strictly increasing (decreasing) functions, then the inequality
1 0
0
fdμ
0
gdμ
2.10
holds.
The following result presents a fuzzy version of generalized Carlson’s inequality

Theorem 2.7 Let X, Σ, μ be a fuzzy measure space, f, g, h ∈ F μ
X, f and g, and f and h are
comonotone functions, respectively, A ∈ Σ with
A fdμ ≤ 1,
A gdμ ≤ 1, ≤

This inequality implies that2.11 holds
ByTheorem 2.7, we have the following

g xdμx ≤ min

g 0, g1

Proof Firstly, we consider the case of g s 0 < g s 1 As g sis a convex function, we have by Theorem 1 of Caballero and Sadarangani7 that
1 0
g s xdμx ≤ min
1 g s 1 − g s0, 1
ByCorollary 2.2and2.18, we get
1 0
g xdμx

g s1
1 g s 1 − g s0, 1
which implies that2.17 holds Similarly, we can obtain 2.17 by of 7, Theorem 2 for the
case of g s 0 > g s1
FromTheorem 2.9andCorollary 2.8, we have the following
Theorem 2.10 Assume that p, q ≥ 1 Let f, g, h : 0, 1 → 0, ∞ be increasing (or decreasing)
functions and μ the Lebesgue measure on If g s ( s ≥ 1) or h r ( r ≥ 1) is a convex function such that
