Constructive approximation of level continuous fuzzy functions1.

We consider the space of continuous functions defined between a locally compact Hausdorff space and the space of fuzzy numbers endowed with the level convergence topology. We obtain a Stone-Weierstrass type theorem for such space of functions equipped with the compact open topology. As a corollary of the above results, we prove that such functions can be approximated by certain fuzzy-number-valued neural networks and sums of fuzzy-number-valued ridge functions.
