Gradation of Fuzzy Preconcept Lattices

Noticing certain limitations of concept lattices in the fuzzy context, especially in view of their practical applications, in this paper, we propose a more general approach based on what we call graded fuzzy preconcept lattices. We believe that this approach is more adequate for dealing with fuzzy information then the one based on fuzzy concept lattices. We consider two possible gradation methods of fuzzy preconcept lattice—an inner one, called D-gradation and an outer one, called M-gradation, study their properties, and illustrate by a series of examples, in particular, of practical nature.

Pointwise k-Pseudo Metric Space

In this paper, the concept of a k-(quasi) pseudo metric is generalized to the L-fuzzy case, called a pointwise k-(quasi) pseudo metric, which is considered to be a map d:J(LX)×J(LX)⟶[0,∞) satisfying some conditions. What is more, it is proved that the category of pointwise k-pseudo metric spaces is isomorphic to the category of symmetric pointwise k-remote neighborhood ball spaces. Besides, some L-topological structures induced by a pointwise k-quasi-pseudo metric are obtained, including an L-quasi neighborhood system, an L-topology, an L-closure operator, an L-interior operator, and a pointwise quasi-uniformity.

George-Veeramani Fuzzy Metrics Revised

In this note, we present an alternative approach to the concept of a fuzzy metric, calling it a revised fuzzy metric. In contrast to the traditional approach to the theory of fuzzy metric spaces which is based on the use of a t-norm, we proceed from a t-conorm in the definition of a revised fuzzy metric. Here, we restrict our study to the case of fuzzy metrics as they are defined by George-Veeramani, however, similar revision can be done also for some other approaches to the concept of a fuzzy metric.

On t-Conorm Based Fuzzy (Pseudo)metrics

We present an alternative approach to the concept of a fuzzy (pseudo)metric using t-conorms instead of t-norms and call them t-conorm based fuzzy (pseudo)metrics or just CB-fuzzy (pseudo)metrics. We develop the basics of the theory of CB-fuzzy (pseudo)metrics and compare them with “classic” fuzzy (pseudo)metrics. A method for construction CB-fuzzy (pseudo)metrics from ordinary metrics is elaborated and topology induced by CB-fuzzy (pseudo)metrics is studied. We establish interrelations between CB-fuzzy metrics and modulars, and in the process of this study, a particular role of Hamacher t-(co)norm in the theory of (CB)-fuzzy metrics is revealed. Finally, an intuitionistic version of a CB-fu…
