Abstract

In this paper, we present some results on weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of fuzzy random variables taking values in the space of normal and upper-semicontinuous fuzzy sets with compact support in a separable real Banach space. First, we give weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of strong-compactly uniformly integrable fuzzy random variables. Then, we consider the case that the weighted averages of expectations of fuzzy random variables converge. Finally, weak laws of large numbers for weighted sums of strongly tight or identically distributed fuzzy random variables are obtained as corollaries.
