Abstract :
In this paper we develop the fuzzy generalization of the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. Two pairs of fuzzy valued belief and plausibility functions are constructed by a fuzzy T-similarity relation. These functions take values in the fuzzy unit interval, a well known concept in fuzzy topology theory.
