We determine a general formula to compute the number of saturated chains in Dyck lattices, and we apply it to find the number of saturated chains of length 2 and 3. We also compute what we call the Hasse index (of order 2 and 3) of Dyck lattices, which is the ratio between the total number of saturated chains (of length 2 and 3) and the cardinality of the underlying poset.

The operation ‘·’, often called fusion is distributive over join. In finite residuated lattices, fusion and join determine residuation uniquely, although residuation cannot be defined equationally from other operations. The class R of residuated lattices is a variety. It is arithmetical, has CEP, and is generated by its finite members (cf. [7]). It is also congruence 1-regular, i.e., for any co...

Alexandrov topologies are the topologies induced by relations. This paper addresses the properties of Alexandrov topologies as the extensions of strong topologies and strong cotopologies in complete residuated lattices. With the concepts of Zhang’s completeness, the notions are discussed as extensions of interior and closure operators in a sense as Pawlak’s the rough set theory. It is shown tha...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of the generalized topological molecular lattices as a generalization of Wang's topological molecular lattices,  topological spaces, fuzzy topological spaces, L-fuzzy topological spaces and soft topological spaces. Topological molecular lattices were defined by closed elements, but in this new structure we present the concept of the open elements and defi...

The Mamdani model [1] of Fuzzy Systems is the earliest and the most widely studied type of Fuzzy Systems. In this work, Residuated Implication (R-implication) operators have been explored for rule reduction in Mamdani-Type Fuzzy Systems with lossless inferencing.

My primary research interest is universal algebra. My thesis is about selfdistributive groupoids and their connection to other algebraic structures, such as groups and weakly associative loops. I am also interested ordered structures (residuated lattices in particular) and in the theory of quasigroups and loops. I am open to new interesting directions of research. A summary of my results follow...

In this paper, we will show that the variety of residuated lattices is generated by finite simple residuated lattices. The “simplicity” part of the proof is based on Grǐsin’s idea from [5], whereas the “finiteness” part employs a kind of algebraic filtration argument. Since the set of formulas valid in all residuated lattices is equal to the set of formulas provable in the propositional logic F...

This paper deals with axiomatization problems for varieties of residuated meet semilattice-ordered monoids (RSs). An internal characterization of the finitely subdirectly irreducible RSs is proved, and it is used to investigate the varieties of RSs within which the finitely based subvarieties are closed under finite joins. It is shown that a variety has this closure property if its finitely sub...

This paper discusses the properties of reachability and observability for linear systems over the max-plus algebra. Working in the event-domain, the concept of asticity is used to develop conditions for weak reachability and weak observability. In the reachability problem, residuation is used to determine if a state is reachable and to generate the required control sequence to reach it. In the ...

This is an introductory survey of substructural logics and of residuated lattices which are algebraic structures for substructural logics. Our survey starts from sequent systems for basic substructural logics and develops the proof theory of them. Then, residuated lattices are introduced as algebraic structures for substructural logics, and some recent developments of their algebraic study are ...
