It is shown that, for any spatial frame L (i.e., L is a complete lattice generated by the set of all prime elements), both the specialization L-preorder of L-topological spaces introduced by Lai and Zhang [Fuzzy preorder and fuzzy topology, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 157 (2006) 1865–1885] and that of L-fuzzifying topological spaces introduced by Fang and Qiu [Fuzzy orders and fuzzifying topologies,...

Each divisible and unital quantale is associated with two quantaloids. Categories enriched over these two quantaloids can be regarded respectively as crisp sets endowed with fuzzy preorders and fuzzy sets endowed with fuzzy preorders. This paper deals with the relationship between these two kinds of enriched categories. This is a special case of the change-base issue in enriched category theory...

This paper presents, by means of Alexandrov topology for fuzzy preordered sets and specialization order for fuzzy topological spaces, a systematic investigation of the interrelationship between fuzzy preordered sets, topological spaces, and fuzzy topological spaces. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The paper presents the essential connections between modal-like operators, topologies and fuzzy sets. We show, for example, that each fuzzy set determines a preorder and an Alexandrov topology, and that similar correspondences hold also for the other direction. Further, a category for preorder-based fuzzy sets is defined, and it is shown that its equivalent subcategory of representatives is iso...

In this paper we generate fuzzy relations and fuzzy operators using different kind of generators and we study the relationship between them. Firstly, we introduce a new fuzzy preorder induced by a fuzzy operator. We generalize this preorder to a fuzzy relation generated by two fuzzy operators and we analyze its properties. Secondly, we introduce and explore two ways of inducing a fuzzy operator...

In a previous paper [10] we explored the notion of coherent fuzzy consequence operator. It is well-known that the operator induced by a fuzzy preorder through Zadeh’s compositional rule is always a coherent fuzzy consequence operator. It is also known that the relation induced by a fuzzy consequence operator is a fuzzy preorder if such operator is coherent [7]. Fuzzy closing operators of mathem...

In this paper, we investigate the properties of Alexandrov fuzzy topologies and join-meet approximation operators. We study fuzzy preorder, Alexandrov topologies join-meet approximation operators induced by Alexandrov fuzzy topologies. We give their examples.

fuzzy order congruences play an important role in studying the categoricalproperties of fuzzy posets. in this paper, the correspondence between the fuzzyorder congruences and the fuzzy order-preserving maps is discussed. we focus onthe characterization of fuzzy order congruences on the fuzzy poset in terms ofthe fuzzy preorders containing the fuzzy partial order. at last, fuzzy completecongruen...

By the representation's theorem it is known that a fuzzy relation R is a preorder if and only if R = inf~ e so If, where -~ is the set of logical states of I~ In this paper it is shown how, in almost all cases, both for the t-norm Min and archimedean t-norms T, it is possible to consider that the fuzzy sets I~ are normalized. Furthermore a partial order between logical states, defined from the ...
