We first define the concept of (ΦE , ΦE )-convex fuzzy processes. Second, we present some basic properties of such processes. 1 2 1. Introduction For any subsets A, B, of Xi let us define In recent years, many generalizations of convexity have (A, B, λ) Φi = Φi x, y , λ : x ∈ A, y ∈ B . (1) appeared in the literature aiming at applications to duality theory and optimality conditions. In 1997, Pini and Singh [ 1] Definition 1 (see [1]). A set X is Φ -convex if Φ (x , x , λ) ∈
