Lattice-ordered monoids are important backgrounds and algebraic foundations of residuum in general. The t-norm based lattices are investigated widely in fuzzy models, but in recent time while researching new approximate reasoning methods in soft computing based models and fuzzy models, the investigations are focused on new types of operators, like uninorms. It is necessary to find and define co...

Different notions of coherence and consistence have been proposed in the literature on fuzzy systems. In this work we focus on the relationship between some of the approaches developed, on the one hand, based of residuated lattices and, on the other hand, based on the theory of bilattices.

Sugeno integrals and their particular cases such as weighted minimum and maximum have been used in multiple-criteria aggregation when the evaluation scale is qualitative. This paper proposes two new variants of weighted minimum and maximum, where the criteria weights have a role of tolerance threshold. These variants require the use of a residuated structure, equipped with an involutive negatio...

A residuated lattice is an ordered algebraic structure L = 〈L,∧,∨, · , e, \ , / 〉 such that 〈L,∧,∨〉 is a lattice, 〈L, ·, e〉 is a monoid, and \ and / are binary operations for which the equivalences a · b ≤ c ⇐⇒ a ≤ c/b ⇐⇒ b ≤ a\c hold for all a, b, c ∈ L. It is helpful to think of the last two operations as left and right division and thus the equivalences can be seen as “dividing” on the right...

In this article we prove a set of preservation properties of the reticulation functor for residuated lattices (for instance preservation of subalgebras, finite direct products, inductive limits, Boolean powers) and we transfer certain properties between bounded distributive lattices and residuated lattices through the reticulation, focusing on Stone, strongly Stone and m-Stone algebras. 2000 Ma...

We investigate a relationship between extensionality of fuzzy relations and their Lipschitz continuity on generalized metric spaces. The duality of these notions is shown, and moreover, two particular applications of the extensionality property in the field of approximation are given.

We show how the firing rule of Petri nets relies on a residuation operation for the commutative monoid of natural numbers. On that basis we introduce closed monoidal structures which are residuated monoids. We identify a class of closed monoidal structures (associated with a family of idempotent group dioids) for which one can mimic the token game of Petri nets to define the behaviour of these ...

In this paper, we investigate functorial relations between Alexandrov fuzzy topologies and upper approximation operators in complete residuated lattices. We present some examples. AMS Subject Classification: 03E72, 03G10, 06A15, 06F07, 54A40
