The present paper has been an attempt to investigate the general fuzzy automata on the basis of complete residuated lattice-valued ($L$-GFAs). The study has been chiefly inspired from the work by Mockor cite{15, 16, 17}. Regarding this, the categorical issue of $L$-GFAs has been studied in more details. The main issues addressed in this research include: (1) investigating the relationship betwe...
