Abstract: The aim of this paper is to modify the theory to fuzzy metric spaces, a natural extension of probabilistic ones. More precisely, the modification concerns fuzzily normed linear spaces, and, after defining a fuzzy concept of completeness, fuzzy Banach spaces. After discussing some properties of mappings with compact images, we define the (Leray-Schauder) degree by a sort of colimit extension of (already assumed) finite dimensional ones. Then, several properties of thus defined concept are proved. As an application, a fixed point theorem in the given context is presented.
