In this paper, a criterion for the convex fuzzy mapping is obtained under the condition of upper and lower semicontinuity, respectively. An upper (lower) semicontinuous fuzzy mapping is proved, which convexity is equivalent to weak convexity or B-vexity satisfying a special condition.

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we put forward the concepts of directional derivative, di erential and subdi erential of fuzzy mappings from R n into E 1 , and discuss the characterizations of directional derivative and di erential by, respectively, using the directional derivative and di erential of two crisp functions that are determined by the fuzzy mapping. And we also consider the problem of existence of directional derivative for convex fuzzy mappings, and discuss the relations among directional derivative, di erential and subdi erential of fuzzy mappings. At last, we give two results of application in convex fuzzy programming.
