We study the conditions under which a given interval-valued fuzzy subgroup of a given group can or can not be realized as a union of two interval-valued fuzzy proper subgroups. Moreover, we provide a simple necessary and su cient condition for the unio of an arbitrary family of interval-valued fuzzy subgroups to be an interval-valued fuzzy subgroup. Also we formulate the concept of interval-valued fuzzy subgroup generated by a given interval-valued fuzzy set by level subgroups. Furthermore we give characterizations of interval-valued fuzzy conjugate subgroups and interval-valued fuzzy characteristic subgroups by their level subgroups. Also we investigate the level subgroups of the homomorphic image of a given interval-valued fuzzy subgroup.

First, we prove a number of results about interval-valued fuzzy groups involving the notions of interval-valued fuzzy cosets and interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroups which are analogs of important results from group theory. Also, we introduce analogs of some group-theoretic concepts such as characteristic subgroup, normalizer and abelian groups. Secondly, we prove that if A is an interval-valued fuzzy subgroup of a group G such that the index of A is the smallest prime dividing the order of G, then A is an interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroup. Finally, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence the interval-valued fuzzy cosets of an interval-valued fuzzy subgroup A of a group G and the cosets of a certain subgroup H of G.
