Integral of a stochastic process with respect to Brownian motion is called Ito integral. Here the stochastic process and Brownian motion are random as well as fuzzy. Hence the Ito integral is fuzzy Ito integral. This paper deals with the properties of fuzzy Ito integral for simple adapted process with respect to fuzzy Brownian motion. The quadratic variance and covariance of FII are discussed. The concept of fuzzy simple adapted process, fuzzy martingale, fuzzy functions are used to derive the properties of fuzzy Ito integrals.
Stochastic processes(SP) which depends on time is introduced by Joseph Doob. It takes a major role in many areas, such as physics, chemistry, biology, microeconomics, finance etc.
Brownian motion (BM) is an example of SP, which describe the position of a particle at a time t i.e. B(t), t∈ [0,T]. An Ito integral is defined as the integral value of SP with respect to BM which takes the value , t∈[0,T].
Fuzzy set theory was introduced by Zadeh [1]. He proposed a fuzzy set, whose membership grade ranges between zero and one. Fuzzy random variables(FRV) are random variables whose parameters are not exactly known, which can be estimated from the confidence interval. So these parameters can be treated as fuzzy numbers(FN). FN was introduced by Kwakernaak [2]. He discussed the expectation of FRV, characteristic functions of fuzzy events, conditional expectation, and some results related to independent FRVs.
Puri and Ralescu [3] developed the concept of FRV, which plays a tool for representing the relationship between the outcomes of a random experiment in exact data. Buckley [26] defined FRV in a different way which is more convenient for computational point of view. Ranarahu et al. [19, 20] discussed the multi objective bilinear programming problem using the fuzzy programming technique. Sahoo and Dash [21] discussed a single period inventory fuzzy probabilistic model by using the fuzzy chance constraints. Rakesh et al. [25] discussed the comparative investigation of modeling and optimizing creation cost for smart production by using α-cut technique and quadrilateral fuzzy number. After that many researchers have used FRV in different branches of mathematics. The concept of fuzzy Gaussian process and convergence theorem for fuzzy martingale(FM) have been introduced by Puri and Ralescu [4, 5]. Further Stojakovic [17] discussed FM for a simple form of fuzzy process. Fuzzy expectations and FM have been discussed by Li and Ogura [6–9]. Li and Guan [10] discussed GP and BM in terms of Ito integral(II). Li and Zheng [24] proved the existence and uniqueness of stochastic integral equations.
Kim and Kim [11, 12] developed the fuzzy set valued SP with respect to BM. Further in their the discussion they have concluded that fuzzy set valued(FSV) diffusion process with respect to FBM contained in fuzzy stochastic integral. FSV Ito integral(FII) was developed by Li and Ren [13]. Malinoskis [15, 16] developed fuzzy stochastic integral equation and the existence and uniqueness of random fuzzy differential equation. Seya et al. [14] discussed FII is driven by FBM and defined metric between two fuzzy numbers. Bandyopadhyay and Kar [22] developed the Type-1 and Type-2 fuzzy stochastic and fuzzy partial stochastic differential the equations by using fuzzy parameters. Dash et al. [23] discussed on fuzzy stochastic option pricing problem.
In the present study, some properties of FII are discussed. Many researchers have discussed the BM as a function of crisp time but in general time may not be fixed or crisp rather some uncertainty will be there. Here uncertain times is considered as fuzzy time.
The fuzzy Ito integral(FII) with respect to fuzzy Brownian motion(FBM) is a natural tool in the study of theory of fuzzy stochastic differential equations driven by a fuzzy Brownian motion. FII of fuzzy simple function with respect to FBM is a fuzzy number.
The organized of the said paper is as follows: In section-2 contains prerequisites. The characteristic of FII of a simple adapted process with respect to FBM is discussed in section-3. In section-4 the quadratic variance and covariance of fuzzy Ito integral are discussed. Finally the conclusion and concluding remarks are made in section-5 and following supporting reference.

Conclusion
In this paper, the properties of FII are discussed using the FBM. An Ito integral is said to be FII if the stochastic process and Brownian motion are random as well as fuzzy. Fuzzy Ito integral with respect to FBM is a suitable tool to find the solution of stochastic Differential equations. The Ito integral is continuous but no where differentiable function like Brownian motion. It has been studied the properties of fuzzy Ito integrals of the simple adapted process with respect to FBM. Fuzzy Ito integral arises when fuzzy random noise and white noise is introduced into an ordinary differential equations. Here fuzzy simple process, fuzzy simple adapted process, and fuzzy Ito integral of simple process are defined. The integrals of converging fuzzy simple process converge to the limit of fuzzy Ito integral is derived. Finally, the quadratic variance and covariance of fuzzy Ito integrals have been discussed. Throughout the paper we have used Buckley’s [26] concept of fuzzy probability. However it can be extended in different approach, which is the future scope of present work.
