Abstract:

In this paper we enumerate fuzzy subgroups, up to a natural equivalence, of some finite abelian p-groups of rank two where p is any prime number. After obtaining the number of maximal chains of subgroups, we count fuzzy subgroups using inductive arguments. The number of such fuzzy subgroups forms a polynomial in p with pleasing combinatorial coefficients. By exploiting the order, we label the subgroups of maximal chains in a special way which enables us to count the number of fuzzy subgroups.

An explicit formula for the number of fuzzy subgroups of a finite abelian $p$-group\ of rank two

Ngcibi, Murali and Makamba [Fuzzy subgroups of rank two abelian$p$-group, Iranian J. of Fuzzy Systems {bf 7} (2010), 149-153]considered the number of fuzzy subgroups of a finite abelian$p$-group $mathbb{Z}_{p^m}times mathbb{Z}_{p^n}$ of rank two, andgave explicit formulas for the cases when $m$ is any positiveinteger and $n=1,2,3$. Even though their method can be used for thecases when $n=4,5,l...

COUNTING DISTINCT FUZZY SUBGROUPS OF SOME RANK-3 ABELIAN GROUPS

In this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $G = mathbb{Z}_{p^n} + mathbb{Z}_p + mathbb{Z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in cite{mur:01}. We present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorp...

p-GROUPS WITH MAXIMAL ELEMENTARY ABELIAN SUBGROUPS OF RANK 2

Let p be an odd prime number and G a finite p-group. We prove that if the rank of G is greater than p, then G has no maximal elementary abelian subgroup of rank 2. It follows that if G has rank greater than p, then the poset E(G) of elementary abelian subgroups of G of rank at least 2 is connected and the torsion-free rank of the group of endotrivial kG-modules is one, for any field k of charac...

The number of Fuzzy subgroups of some non-abelian groups

In this paper, we compute the number of fuzzy subgroups of some classes of non-abeilan groups. Explicit formulas are givenfor dihedral groups $D_{2n}$, quasi-dihedral groups $QD_{2^n}$, generalized quaternion groups $Q_{4n}$ and modular $p$-groups $M_{p^n}$.
