Using maximal ideals in the classification of MV-algebras
This paper deals with the problem of the determination of lower solutions of fuzzy relational equations. An algorithm of calculation of such a solution is presented.
We characterize Łukasiewicz tribes, i.e., collections of fuzzy sets that are closed under the standard fuzzy complementation and the Łukasiewicz t-norm with countably many arguments. As a tool, we introduce σ-McNaughton functions as the closure of McNaughton functions under countable MV-algebraic operations. We give a measure-theoretical characterization of σ-complete MV-algebras which are isomorphic to Łukasiewicz tribes.
In this paper we propose a general approach to the theory of fuzzy algebras, while the early existing papers deal with a particular type of fuzzy structures as fuzzy groups, fuzzy ideals, fuzzy vector spaces and so on.
In analogy with effect algebras, we introduce the test spaces and -test spaces. A test corresponds to a hypothesis on the propositional system, or, equivalently, to a partition of unity. We show that there is a close correspondence between -algebras and -test spaces.
This paper follows a companion paper (Stochastica 8 (1984), 99-145) in which we gave the state of the art of the theory of fuzzy relation equations under a special class of triangular norms. Here we continue this theory establishing new results under lower and upper semicontinuous triangular norms and surveying on the main theoretical results appeared in foregoing papers. Max-t fuzzy equations with Boolean solutions are recalled and studied. Many examples clarify the results established.
By substituting the classical lattice operator min of the unit real interval with a triangular norm of Schweizer and Sklar, the usual fuzzy relational equations theory of Sanchez can be generalized to wider theory of fuzzy equations. Considering a remarkable class of triangular norms, for such type of equations defined on finite sets, we characterize the upper an lower solutions. We also characterize the solutions posessing a minimal fuzziness measure of Yager valued with respect to...
We study the entropy mainly on special effect algebras with (RDP), namely on tribes of fuzzy sets and sigma-complete MV-algebras. We generalize results from [RiMu] and [RiNe] which were known only for special tribes.
We define the entropy, lower and upper entropy, and the conditional entropy of a dynamical system consisting of an effect algebra with the Riesz decomposition property, a state, and a transformation. Such effect algebras allow many refinements of two partitions. We present the basic properties of these entropies and these notions are illustrated by many examples. Entropy on MV-algebras is postponed to Part II.
