Abstract: In this paper, we introduced the concepts of fuzzy upper and fuzzy lower α-continuous, almost α-continuous and weakly α-continuous multifunctions. Several characterizations and properties of these multifunctions along with their mutual relationships are established in L-fuzzy topological spaces. Later, composition and union between these multifunctions have been studied.
