In this paper, we introduce a more general approach to the fuzzification of fuzzy concavity. More specifically, degree L , M -fuzzy concavity is introduced and characterized as generalization id="M2"> -concave structure id="M3"> conca...

Several outbreaks of listeriosis have been associated with contamination of wieners and other ready-to-eat meat products. In this study, we addressed the question of whether emulsification in, or growth on, wieners triggers a response in the listerial cells that makes them more virulent or protects them against the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract in mice. Our results indicate th...

in this paper, we extend the construction of a fuzzy subgroup generated by a fuzzy subset to $l$-setting. this construction is illustrated by an example. we also prove that for an $l$-subset of a group, the subgroup generated by its level subset is the level subset of the subgroup generated by that $l$-subset provided the given $l$-subset possesses sup-property.

In 1997, Fang proposed the concept of boundedness of $L$-fuzzy setsin $L$-topological vector spaces. Since then, this concept has beenwidely accepted and adopted in the literature. In this paper,several characterizations of bounded $L$-fuzzy sets in$L$-topological vector spaces are obtained and some properties ofbounded $L$-fuzzy sets are investigated.

In this article we firstly summarize some notions on L−fuzzy sets, where L denotes a complete lattice. We then study a special case of L−fuzzy sets, namely the “intuitionistic fuzzy sets”. The importance of these sets comes from the fact that the negation is being defined independently from the fuzzy membership function. The latter implies both flexibility and effectiveness in fuzzy inference a...

in this paper the concept of metacompactness in l-topologicalspaces is introduced by means of point finite families of l-fuzzy sets. thisfuzzy metacompactness is a natural generalization of lowen fuzzy compactness.further a characterization of fuzzy metacompactness in the weakly inducedl-topological spaces is also obtained.

In this paper, the Urysohn, completely Hausdorff and completely regular axioms in $L$-topological spaces are generalized to $L$-fuzzy topological spaces. Each $L$-fuzzy topological space can be regarded to be Urysohn, completely Hausdorff and completely regular tosome degree. Some properties of them are investigated. The relations among them and $T_2$ in $L$-fuzzy topological spaces are discussed.
