Classifications of (α,β )-fuzzy left (right and lateral) ideals of ternary semigroups are discussed. Relations between (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy left (right and lateral) ideals and (q,∈∨q)-fuzzy left (right and lateral) ideals are established. Given special sets, so called t-q-set and t-∈∨q-set, conditions for the t-q-set and t-∈∨q-set to be left (right and lateral) ideals are considered. Conditions for a...
