Complete lattices and closure operators in ordered sets are considered from the point of view of fuzzy logic. A typical example of a fuzzy order is the graded subsethood of fuzzy sets. Graded subsethood makes the set of all fuzzy sets in a given universe into a completely lattice fuzzy ordered set (i.e. a complete lattice in fuzzy setting). Another example of a completely lattice fuzzy ordered ...

In a previous paper, Elorza and Burillo explored the coherence property in fuzzy consequence operators. In this paper we show that fuzzy closing operators of mathematical morphology are always coherent operators. We also show that the coherence property is the key to link the four following families: fuzzy closing morphological operators, fuzzy consequence operators, fuzzy preorders and fuzzy c...

It is given a new algorithm to compute a lower T-transitive approximation of a fuzzy relation that preserves symmetry. Given a reflexive and symmetric fuzzy relation, the new algorithm computes a T-indistinguishability that is contained in the fuzzy relation. It has been developed a C++ program that generates random symmetric fuzzy relations or random symmetric and reflexive fuzzy relations and...

We present a topological characterization for fuzzy regular languages: we show that there is a bijective correspondence between fuzzy regular languages and the set of all clopen fuzzy subsets with finite image in the induced fuzzy topological space of Stone space (Profinite space), and then we give a representation of closed fuzzy subsets in the induced fuzzy topological space via fuzzy regular...

In this paper, we present a new method for fuzzy query processing for document retrieval based on extended fuzzy concept networks. In an extended fuzzy concept network, there are four kinds of fuzzy relationships between concepts, i.e., fuzzy positive association, fuzzy negative association, fuzzy generalization, and fuzzy specialization. An extended fuzzy concept network can be modeled by a re...

In this paper, by presenting some notions and theorems, we obtaindifferent types of fuzzy topologies. In fact, we obtain someLowen-type  and Chang-type fuzzy topologies on general fuzzyautomata. To this end, first we define a Kuratowski fuzzy interioroperator which induces a  Lowen-type  fuzzy topology on the  set ofstates of a max- min general   fuzzy automaton. Also by  provingsome theorems, ...

In this paper are introduced some concepts of interval-valued fuzzy relations and some of their properties: reflexivity, symmetry, T-transitivity, composition and local reflexivity. The existence and uniqueness of T-transitive closure of interval-valued fuzzy relations is proved. An algorithm to compute the T-transitive closure of finite interval-valued fuzzy relations is showed. Some propertie...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy C-matroids, a new class of fuzzy matroids. We study properties of this class and define several new types of fuzzy maps between fuzzy matroids. In addition, we define fuzzy C-inner and fuzzy C-closure operators in this class and characterize fuzzy C-matroids and fuzzy maps between matroids in terms of these notions.
