We investigate the concepts of pointwise and uniform -convergence and type of convergence lying between mentioned convergence methods, that is, equi-ideally lacunary convergence of sequences of fuzzy valued functions and acquire several results. We give the lacunary ideal form of Egorov’s theorem for sequences of fuzzy valued measurable functions defined on a finite measure space . We also introduce the concept of -convergence in measure for sequences of fuzzy valued functions and proved some significant results.
Fuzzy set (FS) theory has been demonstrated to be a beneficial tool to explain situations in which the data are imprecise or vague [1]. FSs have been extensively used in several disciplines and technologies. In classical set theory, the membership of elements in a set is evaluated in binary terms according to a bivalent condition, an element either belongs or does not belong to the set. In contrast, FS theory permits the gradual assessment of the membership of elements in a set; this is explained with the help of a membership function valued in the real unit interval [0, 1]. The FS theory can be utilized in a extensive range of domains in which knowledge is imprecise or incomplete.
Convergence in analysis, either classical or fuzzy, implies that almost all elements of the sequence satisfy the convergence condition. As an example, in classical convergence, almost all elements of the sequence have to belong to an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the limit. The principal thought of statistical convergence is to take this condition easy and to demand validity of the convergence condition only for a majority of elements. As usual, statistics are concerned only about big quantities and majority is simply signify the concept “almost all” in pure mathematics. The reason is that statistics works with finite populations and samples, whereas pure mathematics is mostly concerned in infinite sets.
Statistical convergence was firstly examined by Fast [2]. In the wake of the study of ideal convergence defined by Kostyrko et al. [3], there has been comprehensive research to discover applications and summability studies of the classical theories. Ideal convergence became a noteworthy topic in summability theory after the studies of [4–9].
Various types of convergence for sequences of functions, such as pointwise, equi-statistical (or, ideal) and uniform convergence was originated by Balcerzak et al. [10]. Ideal convergence of continuous functions was worked by Jasinski and Reclaw [11]. In the study [12], Egorov’s theorem for analytic P-ideals was proved.
Additionally, Duman and Orhan [13] examined convergence in μ-density and μ-statistical convergence of sequences of functions and presented μ-statistical pointwise convergence and μ-statistical uniform convergence.
Lacunary statistical convergence was firstly given by Fridy and Orhan [14]. The publication of the paper affected deeply all the scientific fields.
Matloka [15] identified convergence of a sequence of fuzzy numbers. Nanda [16] studied the sequences of fuzzy numbers and demonstrated that the set of all convergent sequences of fuzzy numbers create a complete metric space. Statistical convergence by utilizing fuzzy numbers was given by Nuray and Savaş [17]. By using fuzzy numbers, Aytar and Pehlivan [18] defined the statistical convergence of sequences. Pointwise statistical convergence sequences of fuzzy mappings studied by Altin et al. [19]. Some noteworthy results on this topic can be found in ([20–34]). Kumar and Kumar [35] investigated -convergence of fuzzy numbers. Hazarika [36] examined lacunary -convergent sequence of fuzzy real numbers and gave some basic features.
Gong et al. [37] examined statistical convergence, equi-statistical convergence and uniformly statistical convergence of sequences of fuzzy valued functions. Hazarika ([38, 39]) gave ideal convergence versions of these concepts which were defined in [37] and established significant results. Kişi and Dündar [40] examined lacunary statistical convergence in measure for sequences of fuzzy valued functions.
The purpose of this study is to present some recent improvement in the theory of convergence in measure for sequences of fuzzy valued functions. We know that ideal convergence is more general than statistical convergence for sequences. This has focused us to study the lacunary convergence in measure for sequences of fuzzy valued functions further by using ideals and examined some features of this new type convergence. Our results were emphasized with examples.
Now, we recall some concepts and basic definitions used in the paper.
From the study of Zadeh [1], a fuzzy subset of T is a nonempty subset of T × J (= [0, 1]) for some function . is named a fuzzy number if it holds the following features:
(i) is convex, i.e., , where s < t < r .
(ii) is normal, i.e., there is an such that
(iii) is upper semi-continuous, i.e., for all ɛ > 0, , for all a ∈ [0, 1] is open in the usual topology of .
(iv) is compact. Here cl denotes the closure operator.
We indicate the set of all fuzzy numbers by . The set of real numbers can be included in if we take by
For 0 < α ≤ 1, α-cut of is given by . In [41], the Hausdorff distance among and denoted by is given as follows:
Here, d indicates Hausdorff metric.
For and , δj (K) is named jth partial density of K, if
If

Let and . is named the rth partial lacunary density of K, if
where Ir = (kr-1, kr].
The number δθ (K) is denoted the lacunary density (θ-density) of K if
exists. Also, is called to be zero density set.
Notable results about lacunary statistical convergence in measure for sequences of fuzzy valued functions were given by Kişi and Dündar in the study [40].
Take S≠ ∅. Then is called to be an ideal on S iff (i) , (ii) for each one has , (iii) for each and B ⊆ A one has . An ideal is called to be non-trivial if and . A non-empty family of sets is named to be filter on S iff (i) , (ii) for each one has , (iii) for each and each B ⊇ A one has . For every ideal , there is a filter corresponding to i.e. , where Kc = S - K. We call that is (i) an admissible ideal on S iff it includes all singletons, i.e., if it includes {{ y } : y ∈ S } (ii) maximal, if there isn’t any non-trivial ideal including as a subset (iii) called to be atranslation invariant ideal if , for any .
(xn) is said to be -convergent to ξ if for each ɛ > 0 the set

If we take where δ (A) indicate the asymptotic density of the set A, then ideal convergence coincides with statistical convergence.
Presume that is an admissible. Also, suppose that the ideals are proper () and include all finite sets. The ideals which includes of all finite sets is showed by Fin. If , then , we say the restriction of to the set A, i.e., . If for each sequence of sets from there is an such that An \ A is finite for all n, then is a P-ideal.
By determining subsets of naturals with their characteristic functions, we equip with the Cantor space topology. Particularly, is analytic if it is a continuous image of a Gδ subset of the Cantor space. A nontrivial analytic P-ideal is the ideal of sets which has statistical density zero, i.e.
Here, denotes the jth partial density of A. Additional example of an analytic P-ideal is . It is an ideal on , which includes subsets of , whose all vertical sections are finite.
A map is named submeasure on if
(i) φ (Φ) = 0

(iii) It is lower semicontinuous if for every we get .
Take submeasure for any lower semicontinuous submeasure on . It is given by
where the second equality follows by the monotonocityof φ. Take
It is obvious that Exh (φ) is an ideal for an optional submeasure φ .

Main results
In the section, we presume that and are the fuzzy-valued function and a sequence of fuzzy-valued functions for all . We indicate SFVF and FVF in place of sequence of fuzzy-valued functions and fuzzy-valued function. We examine pointwise and uniformly -convergence and equi-ideally lacunary convergence for a SFVF defined on [a, b].
Definition 2.1. A SFVF is called to be pointwise -convergent to a FVF on [a, b], if for each y ∈ [a, b], i.e. for all ɛ > 0, σ > 0, for all y ∈ [a, b]
This can be showed as ∀y ∈ [a, b], ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0, such that
We write on [a, b].
Definition 2.2. A SFVF is said to be uniformly -convergent to a FVF on [a, b], if for every ɛ > 0, σ > 0, ∀y ∈ [a, b]
This can be indicated as ∀y ∈ [a, b], ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0, such that
We write on [a, b].
Remark 2.1. If , then . The converse is not necessarily true.
Example 2.1. For any y ∈ [0, 1], we think
Then, pointwise -converges to . But for all m ∈ Ir
Hence, isn’t uniformly convergent and isn’t uniformly -convergent to on [0, 1].
Remark 2.2. iff .
Definition 2.3. A SFVF is called equi-ideally lacunary convergent to a FVF if ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0, such that
with regards to y ∈ [a, b] is uniformly convergent to zero function. It is indicated by .
Example 2.2. For any y ∈ [0, 1] we think
Then, equi-ideally lacunary converges to a function . But isn’t uniformly -convergent to on [0, 1].
Remark 2.3. iff ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0, , ∀y ∈ [a, b] such that
Remark 2.4..
Proposition 2.1.Equi-ideally lacunary convergence is clearly defined with regards to α for α ∈ [0, 1].
Proof. To demonstrate contradiction, presume that there are two lower semicontinuous submeasures φ1 and φ2 such that Exh (φ1) = Exh (φ2) and ∀ɛ1 > 0, , ∀y ∈ X,
∀ɛ2 > 0, , ∀y ∈ X,
For all y ∈ X and for α ∈ [0, 1] we indicate
and
We identify k1 and y1 such that
Since submeasure φ2 is lower continuous, we are able to find with
Presume that we have found . Take and yi+1 such that
Moreover by the lower continuity of φ2 we find with
We take
Then, we get
and
So, we get P ∈ Exh (φ1) and R ∈ Exh (φ1). On the other side, we get
which is a contradiction. This contradicts imply the proof the theorem.□
Proposition 2.2.A SFVF is equi-lacunary convergent to FVF iff it is equi-ideally lacunary convergent to with regards to .
Proof. Take . Here for . Hence, following results conclude the proof. (a) If δj (A) < ɛ for j ≥ k then (b) If then δj (A) ≤ δj (A \ k) + δj (k) ≤ 2ɛ for .□
Proposition 2.3.([39]) Let be a SFVF and be a FVF. Then .
Proposition 2.4.Presume that for some lower semicontinuous submeasure. Then is isomorphic to Fin or φ×Fin iff for any SFVF equi-ideally lacunary convergence and uniform -convergence are equivalent.
Proof. Take Fin and presume that . To indicate that . If possible assume that . Then, for all y ∈ X and for some ɛ > 0, we get
There is B ⊂ A, such that Fin. Hence, we get and which contradicts the Proposition 2.3. Next we consider any analytic P-ideal Fin which isn’t isomorphic to Φ×Fin or Fin. From Lemma 1.3, we get for some . Take as the characteristic function of for m ∈ A and zero function otherwise. For each y ∈ X, we get
so, . We demonstrate that . Take ɛ > 0 and such that φ ({ m }) < ɛ for m > n. For any α ∈ [0, 1], the set
includes at most one element for each y ∈ [0, 1]. Hence, μ (By \ n) < ɛ and .□
Proposition 2.5.If is a translation invariant ideal and -, then - for each y ∈ [a, b].
Theorem 2.1.Let be an admissible ideal. Let be a SFVF and be a FVF determined on [a, b]. For each y ∈ [a, b], if , then with regards to α.
Proof. Presume that for each y ∈ [a, b], . Take ɛ > 0. For each y ∈ X, then there exists such that ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0,
for all k ≥ n. This gives that for any α ∈ [0, 1], ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0,
for all k ≥ n. For any α ∈ [0, 1], we get ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0,
for all k ≥ n. Also ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0,
for all k ≥ n. From relation (2.1) we have ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0,
Again from (2.2) we have ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0, the following set
is subset of . For any α ∈ [0, 1]. Then from (2.3) and (2.4) we get ∀ɛ > 0, ∀σ > 0,
and
Consider as admissible ideal, hence we obtain and as a result we have for each ɛ > 0 and for every σ > 0,
and
Hence, for each y ∈ [a, b] we obtain with regards to α.□
The next result is the lacunary ideal form of Egorov’s theorem for the SFVF.
Presume that X is a finite measurable set. We indicate , the set of fuzzy valued measurable functions defined almost everywhere on X.
Take A as any finite subset of , consider . The sets [A, n] create a base of the Cantor-set topology on .
Theorem 2.2.Let be an analytic P-ideal and be a finite measure space. Let the FVF and the SFVF be measurable and defined on almost everywhere on X. Presume also that almost everywhere on X. Then, for each ɛ > 0 there is a subset of X such that and on .
Proof. Let be a finite measure space. We presume that for all are defined everywhere on X and also assume that for all y ∈ X. For any fix , we consider the set
We indicate that the set Ek,σ is measurable. For this, we demonstrate that the complement of every Ek,σ is measurable.
Since φ is lower semicontinuous, there exist sets [Ai, ni] such that
Since and are measurable, the right hand side set in the last relation is measurable and hence the set X \ Ek,σ is measurable. For each we get Ek,σ ⊂ Ek+1,σ and . As a result . Take ɛ > 0. For each , let be such that . We take . Then, we have . Let . Then, we obtain μ (X \ A) = μ (A0) < ɛ. Hence, we get ∀σ > 0, , ∀y ∈ A,
This gives that on .□
Corollary 2.1.Let be a finite measure space. Suppose that the FVF and SFVF are measurable and defined almost everywhere on X. Then, almost everywhere on X iff there exists a sequence (Am) of sets on such that on Am for all m and .
Proof. To show “⇒”, think in Theorem 2.2. The part " ⇐ " follows from for all m.□
Now, we determine the -convergence in measure for a SFVF and obtain some results.
Definition 2.4. Let , and X be a finite measurable space. A SFVF is called to be -convergent in measure to a FVF , in symbol, , if
is -convergent to zero for every η > 0 and all m ∈ Ir. We give this notion as the following formula: ∀q > 0, ∀ η > 0,
Here, we can write η = q or ,
Proposition 2.6.Let be a finite measure space. Presume that , . Then
Proof. We assume that . Take η > 0. Then, there is a set such that
for all m ∉ T, y ∈ X. Thus, we get
This indicates that .□
Theorem 2.3.Let , and X be a finite measurable space. A SFVF is -convergent in measure to FVF iff is -convergent in measure to with regards to α.
Proof. Presume that is -convergent in measure to . Then, we get
is -convergent to zero for every η > 0 and for each m ∈ Ir. i.e.,
Thus, we get
Therefore, for α ∈ [0, 1], one obtains
and
which yields that
and
Hence, is -convergent in measure to with regards to α. Next, we assume that is -convergent in measure to with regards to α. For each η > 0, we get
and
Thus, we obtain
and
From the last two relations, we get
which gives that
This means that is -convergent in measure to FVF .□
Definition 2.5. Let be a sequence of fuzzy valued measurable functions in . Then is called to be -Cauchy in measure if there is an integer such that ∀ɛ > 0, ∀ η > 0,
Remark 2.5. Let be a sequence of fuzzy valued measurable functions in . Then, we get
(a) is measurable.
(b) is measurable function.
Theorem 2.4.Let be a sequence of fuzzy valued measurable functions in . Following situations are equivalent:
(a) is -Cauchy in measure.
(b) there is an such that .
Proof. (a) ⇒ (b) Presume that is -Cauchy in measure. We indicate that there is a subsequence of such that
Define
Then, we obtain
If we put
then we get P ⊆ Hk for every k and μ (P) = 0. Now, fix any y ∉ P. Then y ∉ Hk for some k, and so y ∉ Ei for every i ≥ k. So, for any l ≥ i ≥ k we obtain
As a result, the SFVF (gi (y)) is Cauchy. From the completeness of , hence it is convergent to a FVF. If we take
Then is measurable and from the existence of limit for each y ∉ P we get that almost everywhere. Now we demonstrate that (gi) -converges in measure to . Fix any i. If y ∉ Hi, then we have for all l ≥ i. Hence
Therefore,
so we obtain
as i→ ∞ It implies that . So, we have indicated that is a subsequence of that -converges in measure to . Unite this with the fact that is ideally lacunary Cauchy in measure to demonstrate that (b) ⇒ (a) It is obvious, so omitted.□
