The mathematical details involved are studied in order to assure that real number functions are extended to functions of fuzzy numbers whose image only contains fuzzy numbers. The notion of φ-extension was introduced in order to formalize the definition of these extended mappings in a way to avoid inconsistencies with the definition of fuzzy number used. Some algebraic properties are explored aiming to understand how some characteristics of a real number function are preserved. Some applications of φ-extensions are also studied, like the extensions of binary operations of real numbers. Particularly, a new definition of the product operation of fuzzy numbers is used to define a generalization of ordered weighted averaging functions for fuzzy numbers with fuzzy numbers as weights.enAcesso AbertoPrincípio da Extensão de ZadehFunção de AgregaçãoPhi-ExtensãoNúmero FuzzydoctoralThesisCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::CIENCIA DA COMPUTACAO
