An embedding theorem for convex fuzzy sets

In this paper we embed the space of upper semicontinuous convex fuzzy sets on a Banach space into a space of continuous functions on a compact space. The following structures are preserved by the embedding: convex cone, metric, sup-semilattice. The indicator function of the unit ball is mapped to the constant function 1. Two applications are presented: strong laws of large numbers for fuzzy random variables and Korovkin type approximation theorems.
