Abstract: As a generalization of the classical Lebesgue integral, set-valued integrals had been greatly developed, and widely applied in the fields such as Mathematical Economy, Control Theory, Optimization Theory. In recent years, based on nonadditive integrals, various kinds of set-valued nonadditive integrals were developed. As a powerful tool for modeling nondeterministic problems and a typical nonadditive integral, the Choquet integral has attracted much attention. This lecture gives an overview of several existing set-valued Choquet integrals: (i) Choquet integrals of set-valued functions with respect to set-valued fuzzy measures, which include the special cases of Choquet integrals of set-valued functions with respect to fuzzy measures and of single-valued functions with respect to set-valued fuzzy measures; (ii) Generalized Choquet type set-valued integral (GCTSI) of single-valued functions with respect to set-multifunctions and additive measures; (iii) Double set-function multi-valued Choquet integral (DSMVCI) for single-valued functions with respect to set-multifunctions and fuzzy measures. Various kinds of their properties and convergence theorems are shown, and some set-valued type inequalities, such as Jensen's and Markov's are given. Related to many applications in different fields, such as decision making are provided.
