Fuzzy bi-ideals play an important role in the study of ordered semigroupstructures. The purpose of this paper is to initiate and study theintiuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals in ordered semigroups and investigate thebasic theorem of intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals. To provide thecharacterizations of regular ordered semigroups in terms of intuitionisticfuzzy bi-ideals and to discuss the relationships ...

We extend some results obtained in 1998 and 1999 by studying the periodicity of the solutions of the fuzzy difference equations xn+1 = max{A/xn,A/xn−1, . . . ,A/xn−k}, xn+1 = max{A0/xn,A1/xn−1}, where k is a positive integer, A, Ai, i= 0,1, are positive fuzzy numbers, and the initial values xi, i=−k,−k + 1, . . . ,0 (resp., i=−1,0) of the first (resp., second) equation are positive fuzzy numbers.

By means of a kind of new idea, we redefine some kinds of fuzzy ideals in a ring and investigate some of their related properties. The concepts of strong prime (semiprime) generalized fuzzy (bi-, quasi-) ideals in rings are introduced. In particular, we discuss the relationships between strong prime (resp., semiprime) generalized fuzzy (bi-, quasi-) ideals and prime (resp. semiprime) generalize...

In this paper, we introduce the notions of intuitionistic fuzzy prime (resp. strongly prime and semiprime) bi-ideals of a semigroup. By using these ideas we characterize those semigroups for which each intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is semiprime and strongly prime. Key words: Intuitionistic fuzzy set; intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal; intuitionistic fuzzy prime (resp. strongly prime and semiprime) ...

The notion of stratified (L, M)-semiuniform convergence tower spaces is introduced, which extends the notions ofprobabilistic semiuniform convergence spaces and lattice-valued semiuniform convergence spaces. The resulting categoryis shown to be a strong topological universe. Besides, the relations between our category and that of stratified (L, M)-filter tower spaces are studied.

The notion of bipolar fuzzy set was initiated by Lee (2000) as a generalization of the notion fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which have drawn attention of many mathematicians and computer scientists. In this paper, we initiate a study on bipolar ( ,   )-fuzzy sets in -semihypergroups. By using the concept of bipolar ( ,   )-fuzzy sets (Yaqoob and Ansari, 2013), we introduce the ...

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh, there have been a number of generalizations of this fundamental concept. The notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduced by Atanassov is one among them. Using the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Çoker [5] introduced the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces. In this paper, we define the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy semiopen (r...

A module M is called epi-retractable if every submodule of M is a homomorphic image of M. Dually, a module M is called co-epi-retractable if it contains a copy of each of its factor modules. In special case, a ring R is called co-pli (resp. co-pri) if RR (resp. RR) is co-epi-retractable. It is proved that if R is a left principal right duo ring, then every left ideal of R is an epi-retractable ...

In this paper we use concepts from the lattice-based theory of morphological operators and fuzzy sets to develop generalized lattice image operators that are nonlinear convolutions that can be expressed as supremum (resp. infimum) of fuzzy intersection (resp. union) norms. Our emphasis and differences with many previous works is the construction of pairs of fuzzy dilation (sup of fuzzy intersec...

We introduce the notion of bipolar fuzzy Lie sub-superalgebras (resp. bipolar fuzzy ideals) and present some of their properties. First we investigate the properties of bipolar fuzzy Lie sub-superalgebras and bipolar fuzzy ideals under homomorphisms of Lie superalgebras. Next we study bipolar fuzzy bracket product, solvable bipolar fuzzy ideals and nilpotent bipolar fuzzy ideals of Lie superalg...
