the minimal prime decomposition for semiprime ideals is defined and studied on z-ideals of c(x). the necessary and sufficient condition for existence of the minimal prime decomposition of a z-ideal / is given, when / satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) / is an intersection of maximal ideals. (ii) i is an intersection of o , s, when x is basically disconnected. (iii) i=o , when x x ha...

In this paper we investgate some properties of fuzzy ideal extension of fuzzy ideal, fuzzy prime ideal, fuzzy semiprime ideal of a Γ−semiring. Among other results we have obtained a characterization of a prime ideal I of a Γ−semiring in terms of fuzzy ideal extension of its characteristic function λI .

A ternary semigroup is a nonempty set together with a ternary multiplication which is associative. Any semigroup can be reduced to a ternary semigroup but a ternary semigroup does not necessarily reduce to a semigroup. The notion of fuzzy sets was introduced by Zadeh in 1965 and that of rough sets by Pawlak in 1982. Applications of the fuzzy set theory and rough set theory have been found in va...
