#### Abstract

In a previous work [18], the authors investigated autocontinuity, converse-autocontinuity, uniformly autocontinuity, uniformly converse-autocontinuity, and fuzzy multiplicativity of monotone set function defined by Choquet integral([3,4,13,14,15]) instead of fuzzy integral([16,17]). We consider nonnegative monotone interval-valued set functions and nonnegative measurable interval-valued functions. Then the interval-valued Choquet integral determines a new nonnegative monotone interval-valued set function which is a generalized concept of monotone set function defined by Choquet integral in [18]. These integrals, which can be regarded as interval-valued aggregation operators, have been used in [10,11,12,19,20]. In this paper, we investigate some characterizations of monotone interval-valued set functions defined by the interval-valued Choquet integral such as autocontinuity, converse-autocontinuity, uniform autocontinuity, uniform converse-autocontinuity, and fuzzy multiplicativity.
