In this study, a new concept of intuitionistic fuzzy abstract algebra using t-norms and t-conorms was introduced. Example that show the differences between intuitionistic fuzzy abstract algebra was given. Some properties were proved. Intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation with respect to t-norms and t-conorms on (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy abstract algebra was examined.
The intuitionistic fuzzy set theory was introduced by Atanassov in 1983 as an extension of fuzzy sets by enlarging the truth value set to the lattice [0, 1] × [0, 1] given in Definition 1.1 [2, 3]. There are several theoretical and applied studies on intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Like algebra, analysis, decision making systems [15, 30]. Fuzzy group definition has been redefined by Anthony and Sherwood using t-norms after being introduced by Rosenfeld [1, 24]. The approach to the algebraic structures with triangular norms allowed them to reach a strong form. The concept of the intuitionistic fuzzy group was given in 1989 and after then the intuitionistic fuzzy algebraic structures attracted the attention of many researchers. The generalization of these algebraic structures with triangular norms is being studied by different researchers up to date [5, 13].
The generalization of abstract algebras into fuzzy set theory was introduced by Murali in 1987 [22]. The intuitionistic fuzzy algebra was defined by authors [10]. Intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relations on algebras and isomorphism theorems were studied and obtained main properties [12, 25].
In this study, the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy algebra and intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation are redefined with triangular norms. Specifically, when T = TM and S = SM are selected, the results in [10] can be easily obtained. However, for other norms, some differences have emerged except for the basic properties. For example, Proposition 4 is one of them.
Definition 1.1. Let L=[0,1] then L∗ = {(x1, x2) ∈ [0, 1] 2 : x1 + x2 ≤ 1} is a lattice with (x1, x2) ≤ (y1, y2) : ⇔ " x1 ≤ y1 and x2 ≥ y2 ".
For (x1, y1) , (x2, y2) ∈ L∗, the operators ∧ and ∨ on (L∗, ≤) are defined as follows;
(x1, y1) ∧ (x2, y2) = (min(x1, x2) , max(y1, y2))
(x1, y1) ∨ (x2, y2) = (max(x1, x2) , min(y1, y2))
For each J ⊆ L∗
sup J = (sup {x : (x, y ∈ [0, 1]) , ((x, y) ∈ J)} , inf {y:( x, y ∈ [0, 1]) ((x, y) ∈ J)}) and
Definition 1.2. [2] An intuitionistic fuzzy set (shortly IFS) on a set X is an object of the form
where μA (x) , (μA : X → [0, 1]) is called the “degree of membership of x in A ”, νA (x) , (νA : X → [0, 1]) is called the ““degree of non- membership of x in A ”and where μA and νA satisfy the following condition:
The hesitation degree of x is defined by πA (x) = 1 - μA (x) - νA (x) .
Definition 1.3. [2] An IFS A is said to be contained in an IFS B (notation A ⊑ B) if and only if, for all x∈ X : μA (x) ≤ μB (x) and νA (x) ≥ νB (x) .
It is clear that A = B if and only if A ⊑ B and B ⊑ A .
Atanassov showed that, there are 53 negations now known in intuitionistic fuzzy logic [4]. The first negation defined is as follows:
Definition 1.4. [2] Let A ∈ IFS (X) and A = {< x, μA (x) , νA (x) > : x ∈ X} then the above set is called the complement of A
Definition 1.5. [2] Let A ∈ IFS (X) .Then (r, s)-cut and strong (r, s)-cut of A are crisp subsets A(r,s) and A〈r, s〉 of the X, respectively are given by
where r, s ∈ [0, 1] with r + s ≤ 1 .
Intuitionistic fuzzy relations were introduced by Burille and Bustince.
Definition 1.6. [7] An intuitionistic fuzzy relation (shortly IFR) is an intuitionistic fuzzy subset of X × Y, that is, is an expression R given by R = {〈 (x, y) , μR (x, y) , νR (x, y) 〉 : x ∈ X, y ∈ Y} where μR : X × Y → [0, 1], νR : X × Y → [0, 1] satisfy the condition 0 ≤ μR (x, y) + νR (x, y) ≤1 for any (x, y) ∈ X × Y.
Definition 1.7. [8] Let X be a non-empty set and R ∈ IFR (X) .
For every x ∈ X,
then R is called an intuitionistic fuzzy reflexsive.
For every x, y ∈ X,
then R is called an intuitionistic fuzzy symmetric.
For every x, y, z ∈ X,
then R is called an intuitionistic fuzzy transitive.
If an intuitionistic fuzzy relation satisfies the previous properties then it is called an intuitionistic fuzzy equivalence relation (IFE (X)). Now we can talk about intuitionistic fuzzy equivalence classes of R .
Definition 1.8. [17] Let X be a non-empty set, R ∈ IFE (X) and a ∈ X .
where μ[a]R (x) = μR (a, x) , ν[a]R (x) = νR (a, x) is called an intuitionistic fuzzy equivalence class of a w.r.t R.
Theorem 1.1. [17] Let X be a non-empty set and R ∈ IFR (X) . Then R ∈ IFE (X) if and only if R(r,s) is a equivalence relation on X for each r, s ∈ [0, 1] with r + s ≤ 1 .
Definition 1.9. [16] Let X and Y be two non-empty sets and f : X → Y be a mapping. Let A ∈ IFS (X) and B ∈ IFS (Y) . Then f is extended to a mapping from IFS (X) to IFS (Y) as
where
and
f (A) is called the image of A under the map f .Also, the pre-image of B under f is denoted by f-1 (B) and defined as
where
Murali was introduced fuzzy algebra using Zadeh’s extension principle. Fuzzy congruence relations were defined and some properties of fuzzy congruence relations were studied by same author [22, 29].
The definition of abstract algebra in crisp set theory is as follows;
Definition 1.10. [6] An abstract algebra (or an algebra) A is a pair [S, F] where S is a non-empty set and F is a specified set of operatians fα, each mapping a power Sn(α) of S into S, for some appropriate nonnegative finite integer n (α).
Otherwise stated, each operation fα assigns to every n (α)-ple (x1,. . . , xn(α)) of elements of S, a value fα (x1,. . . , xn(α)) in S, the result of performing the operation fα on the sequence x1,. . . , xn(α) . If n (α) =1, the operation fα is called unary; if n (α) =2, it is called binary; if n (α) =3, it is called ternary, etc. When n (α) =0, the operation fα is called nullary; it selects a fixed element of S .
A = [S, F] and B = [T, F′] are called similar algebras if F and F′ for each α the types of fα and are same.
Definition 1.11. [6] Let A = [S, F] and B = [T, F′] be two similar algebras. A function φ : S → T is called a homomorphism of A into B if and only if for all fα ∈ F and xi ∈ S,i = 1, 2,. . . , n (a),
A crisp congruence relation on an algebraic system A = [S, F] is an equivalence relation θ on A = [S, F] which has the substitution property for its operations. It means that, for all fα ∈ F and ai, bi ∈ S,i = 1, 2,. . . , n (a) ,
The extentions of fuzzy algebras to intuitionistic fuzzy sets defined in 2017.
Definition 1.12. [10] Let S = [X, F] be an algebra where X is a non-empty set and F is a specified set of finite operatians fα, each mapping a power Xn(α) of X into X, for some appropriate nonnegative finite integer n (α). For each fα, a corresponding operation ωα on IFS (X) as follows;
such that
Shortly, A = ωα (A1, A2,. . . , An(α)) . Let Ω = {ωα : corresponding operation for each fα ∈ F} then L = [(I × I) X, Ω] is called intuitionistic fuzzy algebra.
If n (α) =0 then fα (x) = e that e is a fixed element of X. So, ωα is defined as following:
Definition 1.13. [10] Let X be a non-empty set and A ∈ IFS (X) . A is called an intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra (IF-subalgebra) of L = [IFS (X) , Ω] intuitionistic fuzzy algebra if and only if for nonnegative finite integer n (α) , ωα (A, A,. . . , A) ⊑ A, for every ωα .
Triangular norms concept was introduced with the paper "Statistical metrics" by Menger [21]. t-Norms have a major role on the theory of probabilistic metric spaces. Also, triangular norms were used as a broad studying area in fuzzy set theory.
Definition 1.14. [19] A t-norm is a mapping T : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1] satisfying the following conditions for allx, y, z ∈ [0, 1]:
Definition 1.15. [19] For the function define by
for i ∈ In where T2 = T and T = id (identity) .
Definition 1.16. [19] A t-conorm is a mapping S : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1] satisfying the following conditions for allx, y, z ∈ [0, 1]:
S (x, 0) = x
S (x, y) = S (y, x)
S (x, S (y, z)) = S (S (x, y) , z)
S (x, y) ≤ S (x, z) whenever y ≤ z .
Example 2. Here are the basic t-conorms:
SM (x, y) = max(x, y) (maximum)
SP (x, y) = x + y - xy (probabilistic sum)
SL (x, y) = min(x + y, 1) (Lukasiewicz t-conorm)
(drastic product)
It is clear that,
for all x, y ∈ [0, 1] .
Definition 1.17. For a t-norm T and a t-conorm S on [0, 1] ΔT and ΔS are as follow;
Proposition 1.2. [19] A mapping S : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1] is a t-conorm if and only if there exists a t-norm T such that for all (x, y) ∈ [0, 1] 2
The t-conorm given by Proposition 2 is called the dual t-conorm of T and the t-norm is said to be the dual t-norm of S.
Definition 1.18. [19] For the function define by
for i ∈ In where S2 = S and S = id (identity) .
Remark 1.3. [19] If (T, S) is a pair of mutually dual t-norms and t-conorms, then the duality given by Proposition 2 can be generalized as follows:
Definition 1.19. [18] Let A ∈ IFS (X) and T be a t-norm. Then AT,r is a subset of X defined by
for every r ∈ [0, 1] .
Definition 1.20. [18] Let A ∈ IFS (X) and (T, S) is a pair of mutually dual t-norms and t-conorms. Then AT,S,r is a subset of X defined by
for every r ∈ [0, 1] .
(T, S)-Intuitionistic fuzzy algebras
Triangular norms are widely used in applications in multivalued logic or an intersection of fuzzy sets. The T = TMand S = SM norms have been used in design of fuzzy logic controllers and also in the modelling of other decision making processes. Some theoretical and experimental studies seem to specify that triangular norms may work better then T = TM and S = SM norms in the decision making processes. For similar reasons, it is appropriate to work with triangular norms for more sensitive results. Based on this, in this section, intuitionistic fuzzy algebras were redefined using triangular norms. In addition to the properties provided by intuitionistic fuzzy algebras, different new properties were proven.
Definition 2.1. Let K = [X, F] be an algebra where X is a non-empty set and F is a specified set of finite operatians fα, each mapping a power Xn(α) of X into X, for some appropriate nonnegative finite integer n (α). For each fα, a corresponding operation on IFS (X) as follows;
such that (T, S) is a pair of mutually dual t-norms and t-conorms. Let corresponding operation for each fα ∈ F} then L = [IFS (X) , Ω(T,S)] is called (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy algebra.
If n (α) =0 then fα (x) = e that e is a fixed element of X. So, is defined as following:
Definition 2.2. Let X be a non-empty set and A ∈ IFS (X) . A is called an (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra of Ł = [IFS (X) , Ω(T,S)] if and only if for nonnegative finite integer for every
Theorem 2.1.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra, fα ∈ F and A, A1, A2,. . . , An(α) be (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebras.
if and only if
is true for every (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ Xn(α) .
Proof. (1) Let n (α) ≠0 and
So, for all (x1,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ Xn(α) .
Conversely, let
For all fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) = x then
If for some x there exists no such n (a)-tuples then (2)If n (α) =0 then fα (x) = e, e is a fixed element of X . For any B (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra,
for all x ∈ X .□
Example 3. Let consider algebra which defined with two binary operations (+ , ·), two nullary operations and a unary operation (-). The intuitionistic fuzzy set defined by
isn’t an intuitionistic fuzzy algebra but with T (x, y) = max(x + y - 1, 0) and S (x, y) = min(x + y, 1) dual norms it is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy algebra.
Theorem 2.2.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. If {Ai } i∈Λis a family of (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebras of on K then
is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra.
Proof. Let fα ∈ F and for the corresponding n (α) , (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ Xn(α) .
So, A a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on K . □
Theorem 2.3.Let K = [X, F], L = [Y, F] be two similar algebras and φ be a homomorphism of K into L . If A is a (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on K then φ (A) is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on L . On the otherhand, if B is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra of L then φ-1 (B) is a (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra of K .
Proof. Let fα ∈ F and for every n (α)-tuples (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ Xn(α),
then φ-1 (B) is a (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra of K . φ (A) can be proved simply.□
Proposition 2.4.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. If A is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on K then so are □A and ◇A .
Proof. From definiton and so,
for all (x1,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ Xn(α) . Since then . ◇ A is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra. Now, □ A can be proved similarly.□
Theorem 2.5. Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. If A is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on K then AT,1 is a crisp algebra of X .
Proof. Let fα ∈ F and x1, x2,. . . , xn(α) ∈ AT,1 .For all fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) = x then
So, fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ AT,1 .
Theorem 2.6.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. If A is a (TM, SM)- intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on K then for every r ∈ [0, 1], ATM,r is a crisp algebra of X .
Proof. Let fα ∈ F and x1, x2,. . . , xn(α) ∈ ATM,r . For all fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) = x then
So, fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ ATM,r .□
Theorem 2.7.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. If A is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on K then AT,S,1 is a crisp algebra of X .
Proof. Let fα ∈ F and x1, x2,. . . , xn(α) ∈ AT,S,1 . Then, T (μA (xi) , S (μA (xi) , νA (xi))) = 1, i = 1, 2,. . . , n (α) . For all fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) = x,
So, fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) ∈ AT,S,1 .□
Theorem 2.8.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. If A is a (TM, SM)- intuitionistic fuzzy subalgebra on K then for every r ∈ [0, 1] , AT,S,r is a crisp algebra of X .
Proof. It is clear.
(T, S)-Intuitionistic Fuzzy Congruence Relations
In this section, we defined congruence relations on (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy algebra and we examined some basic properties of (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relations.
Definition 2.3. Let K = [X, F] be an algebra and fα ∈ F . For any (A1, A2,. . . , An(α)) ∈ IFR (X) n(α), to be an element of IFR (X) defined by
where the supremum is taken over all representations of fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) = x and fα (y1, y2,. . . , yn(α)) = y . If no such n (α)-tuples for x and y then
IFR (X) is (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy algebra on intuitionistic fuzzy relations with corresponding operations on IFR (X) .
Definition 2.4. Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. A ∈ IFE (X) is said to be a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation on K if and only if, for each fα ∈ F,
Theorem 2.9.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra, fα ∈ F and A1, A2,. . . , An(α), A be intuitionistic fuzzy relations on K .
for all pairs of n (α)-tuples (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) and (y1, y2,. . . , yn(α)) .
Proof. The proof of this theorem can be seen easily from Theorem 2.1.□
Proposition 2.10.Let K = [X, F] be an algebra. If A is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation on K then A(r,s) (shortly ∼) is a crisp congruence relation for all r ∈ ΔT and s ∈ ΔS with r + s ≤ 1 .
Proof. Since A ∈ IFE (X) then A(r,s) (shortly ∼) is a crisp equivalence relation on X. Now, we should prove substitution property. Let fα ∈ F and fα (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) = x, fα (y1, y2,. . . , yn(α)) = y such that x, y ∈ X and (x1, x2,. . . , xn(α)) , (y1, y2,. . . , yn(α)) ∈ Xn(α) . If xi ∼ yi, i = 1, 2,. . . , n (α) then A (xi, yi) ≥ (r, s) .
So,
□
Proposition 2.11.Let K = [X, F], L = [Y, F] be two similar algebras and φ be a homomorphism of K into L . If A is a (T, S)- intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation on K then φ (A) is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation on L . If B is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation on L then φ-1 (B) is a (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy congruence relation on K .
Proof. It is clear.□
Conclusions
The (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy algebra was introduced. Thus, the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy algebra was extended. Sub algebraic structures and their properties were examined. Also, congruence relations over (T, S)-intuitionistic fuzzy algebras were studied. Some results were obtained with the level sets of these algebraic structures.
