Abstract
We discuss the existence of a solution to the Cauchy problem for fuzzy differential equations that accommodates the notion of fuzzy sets defined by complex-valued membership functions. We first propose definitions of complex fuzzy sets and discuss entailed results which parallel those of regular fuzzy numbers. We then give two existence results relevant to the Cauchy problem for fuzzy differential equations in the case of bounded integral operators. These results require either Hölder continuous or Lipschitz continuous response functions. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
