Abstract
We discuss the concept of a level set of a fuzzy set and the related ideas of the representation theorem and the extension principle. We then describe the extension of these ideas to the case of interval valued fuzzy sets (IVFS). What is important to note here is that in the case of interval valued fuzzy sets, the number of distinct level sets can be greater than the number of distinct membership grades of the fuzzy set being represented. In particular, the minimum of each subset of membership grades provides a level set. Morover, the membership grades are not linearly ordered and hence taking the minimum of a subset of these can result in a value that was not one of the members of the subset.
