Popis: This paper proposes a representation of the family of Minkowski distances using fuzzy sets. The proposed method helps to represent human-like perceptions about distances, which can help decision making in presence of non-probabilistic uncertainties such as imprecision and ambiguity. This way we propose to define a fuzzy set regarding the concept of closeness of two elements/sets measured by a Minkowski metric. Two application examples are presented, solved, and compared to some classical approaches. Finally some concluding remarks are provided and some interpretation issues are explained.
