1. Introduction
Zadeh in 1965 [1] introduced the theory of fuzzy sets. Many authors have introduced the notion of fuzzy norm in different ways [2] - [9] . Cheng and Mordeson in 1994 [10] defined fuzzy norm on a linear space whose associated fuzzy metric is of Kramosil and Mickalek type [11] as follows:
The order pair
is said to be a fuzzy normed space if X is a linear space and N is a fuzzy set on
satisfying the following conditions for every
and
.
(i)
, for all
.
(ii) For all
,
if and only if
.
(iii)
, for all
and for all
.
(iv) For all
,
where
.
(v)
.
The definition of continuous t-norm was introduced by George and Veeramani in [12] . Bag and Samanta in [2] modified the definition of Cheng and Mordeson of fuzzy norm as follows:
The triple
is said to be a fuzzy normed space if X is a linear space,
is a continuous t-norm and N is a fuzzy set on
satisfying the following conditions for every
and
.
(i)
, for all
.
(ii) For all
,
if and only if
.
(iii)
for all
.
(iv) For all
,
.
(v) For

is continuous.

.
The definition of fuzzy length space is introduced in this research as a modification of the notion of fuzzy normed space due to Bag and Samanta. In Section 1, we recall basic concepts of fuzzy set and the definition of continuous t-norm. Then in Section 2 we define the fuzzy length space on fuzzy set after we give an example; then we prove that every ordinary norm induces a fuzzy length, and also the definition of fuzzy open fuzzy ball, fuzzy convergent sequence, fuzzy open fuzzy set, fuzzy Cauchy sequence, and fuzzy bounded fuzzy set is introduced. In Section 3, we prove other properties of fuzzy length space. Finally in Section 4, we define a fuzzy continuous operator between two fuzzy length spaces. Also we prove several properties for fuzzy continuous operator.
2. Basic Concept about Fuzzy Set
Definition 2.1:
Let X be a classical set of object, called the universal set, whose generic elements are denoted by x. The membership in a classical subject A of X is often viewed as a characteritic function
from X onto {0, 1} such that
if
and
if
, {0, 1} is called a valuation set. If a valuation set is allowed to be real interval [0, 1] then A is called a fuzzy set which is denoted in this case by
and
is the grade of membership of x in
. Also, it is remarkable that the closer the value of
to 1, the more belong to
. Clearly,
is a subset of X that has no sharp boundary. The fuzzy set
is completely characterized by the set of pairs:

Definition 2.3:
Suppose that

respectively then

Definition 2.4:
A fuzzy point p in Y is a fuzzy set with single element and is denoted by

are said to be different if and only if
[11] .
Definition 2.5:
Suppose that

Definition 2.6:
Suppose that h is a function from the set
into the set
. Let

for all d in V. Also when
is a fuzzy set in V then
is a fuzzy set in W its membership is given by:
when
and
otherwise [5] .
Proposition 2.7:
Suppose that

in V, is the fuzzy point
in W with

Definition 2.8:
A binary operation
is said to be t-norm (or continuous triangular norm) if
the conditions are satisfied:

Remark 2.10:
, there is t such that
and for every r, there is e such that
, where p, q, t, r and e belongs to [0, 1] [12] .
Definition 2.11:
Let

3. On Fuzzy Length Space
First we introduce the main definition in this paper.
Definition 3.1:
Let X be a linear space over field
and let

a fuzzy open fuzzy ball of center
and radius r.

And this proves (b).
Definition 3.12:
Suppose that

The proof of the following theorem is easy and so is omitted.

Taking the limit to both sides as

Hence,

Proposition 4.6:
Let

tains a

5. Fuzzy Continuous Operators on Fuzzy Length Spaces
In this section, we will suppose
is fuzzy set of X and
be fuzzy set of Y where X and Y are vector space.
Definition 5.1:
Let
and
be two fuzzy length space on fuzzy set
and
respectively, let
then The operator
is said to be fuzzy continuous at
, if for every

such that
whenever
satisfying
. If T is fuzzy continuous at every fuzzy point of
, then T it is said to be fuzzy continuous on
.
Theorem 5.2:
Let
and
be two fuzzy length space, let
. The operator
is fuzzy continuous at
if and only if whenever a sequence of fuzzy points
in
fuzzy converge to
, then the sequence of fuzzy points
fuzzy converges to
.
Proof:
Suppose that the operator
is fuzzy continuous at
and let
be a sequence in
fuzzy converge to
. Let
be given. By fuzzy continuity of T at
, then there exists
such that whenever
and
, implies
. Since ![]()
then we can find K with
such that
. Therefore when
implies
. Thus
.
Conversely, assume that every sequence
in
fuzzy converging to
has the property that
. Suppose that T is not fuzzy continuous at
. Then there is
and for which no
,
can satisfy the require-
ment that
and
implies
. This means that for every
there exists
such that
but
. For every
, there exist
such that
, but
. The sequence
fuzzy converges to
but the sequence
does not fuzzy converge to (
). This contradicts the assumption that every sequence
in
fuzzy converging to
has the property that
. Therefore the assumption that T is not fuzzy continuous at
must be false.
Definition 5.3:
Let
and
be two fuzzy length spaces let

the fuzzy point
is a fuzzy limit of
written by
whenever
if for every

such that
when
and

Proposition 5.4:
Let
and
be two fuzzy length spaces, let
and
. Suppose that

. Then
if and only if for every sequence
in
such that
and
.
Proof: the argument is similar that of Theorem (5.3) and therefore is not included.
Proposition 5.5:
An operator T of the fuzzy length space
into a fuzzy length space
is fuzzy continuous at the fuzzy point
if and only if for every
there exist
such that
.
Proof: the operator
is fuzzy continuous at
if and only if for every
there exist
such that
for all
satisfying
i.e.
implies
or
this is equivalent to the condition
.
Theorem 5.6:
An operator
is fuzzy continuous if and only if
is fuzzy open in
for all fuzzy open
of
where
and
are fuzzy length space.
Proof:
Suppose that T is fuzzy continuous operator and let
be fuzzy open in
we show that
is fuzzy open in
. Since
and
are fuzzy open, we may suppose that
and
.
Let
then
. Since
is fuzzy open, then there is
such that
, since T is fuzzy continuous at
by proposition 4.5 for this
there exist
such that
.
Thus, every fuzzy point
of
is an interior fuzzy point and so
if a fuzzy open in
.
Conversely, suppose that
is fuzzy open in
for any fuzzy open
of
. Let
for each
, the fuzzy ball
is fuzzy open in ![]()
since
it follows that there exist
such that
by proposition 5.5, it follows that T is fuzzy continuous.
Theorem 5.7:
An operator
is fuzzy continuous on
if and only if
is fuzzy closed in
for all fuzzy closed
of
.
Proof:
Let
be a fuzzy closed subset of
then
is fuzzy open in
so that
is fuzzy open in
by theorem 4.6 but
so
is fuzzy closed in
.
Conversely, suppose that
is fuzzy closed in
for all fuzzy closed subset
of
. But the empty fuzzy set and the whole space
are fuzzy closed fuzzy set. Then
is fuzzy open in
and
is fuzzy in
. Since every fuzzy open subset of
is of the type
, where
is suitable fuzzy closed fuzzy set, it follows by using theorem 5.6, that T is fuzzy continuous.
Theorem 5.8:
Let
and
and
be three fuzzy length spaces let
and
be fuzzy continuous operator. Then the composition
is a fuzzy continuous operator from
into
.
Proof:
Let
be fuzzy open subset of
. By theorem (5.6),
is a fuzzy open subset of
and another application of the same theorem shows that
is a fuzzy open subset of
, since
it follows from the same theorem again that (
) is a fuzzy continuous.
Theorem 5.9:
Let
and
be two fuzzy length spaces let
, then the following statements are equivalent.
(i) T is fuzzy continuous on
.
(ii)
For all subset
of
.
(iii)
For all subset
of

Proof: (i) ⇒ (ii)
Let

is fuzzy closed in
. Moreover
and so
.
[Recall that
is the smallest fuzzy closed fuzzy set containing
].
Proof: (ii) ⇒ (iii)
Let
be a subset of
, then if
, we have
and
thus
.
Proof: (iii) ⇒ (i)
Let
be a fuzzy closed fuzzy set in
and fuzzy set
. By theorem (4.7), it is sufficient to show that
is a fuzzy closed in
, that is,
Now
so that
