Fuzzy ideals of ordered semigroups with fuzzy orderings

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notions of ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy ideals of a fuzzy ordered semigroup with the ordering being a fuzzy relation. Several characterizations of ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy left (resp. right) ideals and ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy interior ideals are derived. The lattice structures of all ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy (interior) ideals on such fuzzy ordered semigroup are studied and some methods are given to construct an ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy (interior) ideals from an arbitrary fuzzy subset. Finally, the characterizations of generalized semisimple fuzzy ordered semigroups in terms of ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy ideals (resp. ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy interior ideals) are developed.

FUZZY STRICT PREFERENCE RELATIONS COMPATIBLE WITH FUZZY ORDERINGS

One of the most important issues in the field of fuzzy preference modelling is the construction of a fuzzy strict preference relation and a fuzzy indifference relation from a fuzzy weak preference relation. Here, we focus on a particular class of fuzzy weak preference relations, the so-called fuzzy orderings. The definition of a fuzzy ordering involves a fuzzy equivalence relation and, in this paper, the latter will be considered as the corresponding fuzzy indifference relation. We search for fuzzy strict preference relations compatible with a given fuzzy ordering and its fuzzy indifference relation. In many situations, depending on the t-norm and t-conorm used, this quest results in a unique fuzzy strict preference relation. Our aim is to characterize these fuzzy strict preference relations and to study their transitivity.
