The study of complex fuzzy sets defined over the meet operator (ξ – CFS) is a useful mathematical tool in which range of degrees is extended from [0, 1] to complex plane with unit disk. These particular complex fuzzy sets plays a significant role in solving various decision making problems as these particular sets are powerful extensions of classical fuzzy sets. In this paper, we define ξ – CFS and propose the notion of complex fuzzy subgroups defined over ξ – CFS (ξ – CFSG) along with their various fundamental algebraic characteristics. We extend the study of this idea by defining the concepts of ξ – complex fuzzy homomorphism and ξ – complex fuzzy isomorphism between any two ξ – complex fuzzy subgroups and establish fundamental theorems of ξ – complex fuzzy morphisms. In addition, we effectively apply the idea of ξ – complex fuzzy homomorphism to refine the corrupted homomorphic image by eliminating its distortions in order to obtain its original form. Moreover, to view the true advantage of ξ – complex fuzzy homomorphism, we present a comparative analysis with the existing knowledge of complex fuzzy homomorphism which enables us to choose this particular approach to solve many decision-making problems.
A homomorphism is a way of translating one object into another that reflects its original structure. It covers a number of topics in interdisciplinary studies in mathematics like mechanics, camera calibration, quantum theory, telephone network design and non-linear network problems. In real life, we come across a lot of problems which can easily be countered through this phenomenon. For instance, one can use the idea of homomorphism in national security as a monitoring plate form to prevent the attacks. It also plays a key role to protect cyber security systems from hackers. It is indeed an analytical tool to study communication in various information systems. This particular notion is highly suitable for genomics data sharing in the field of medicine. Uncertainty, imprecision and vagueness are the main characteristics of the problems occurring in many real-world phenomena which cannot be effectively handled by using traditional mathematical tools. Although, the theory of fuzzy sets is used to deal with these limitations, however, this particular setup does not handle the periodicity or seasonality that exists in many physical situations. This leads to the introduction of complex fuzzy logic, which is a linear augmentation of the classic fuzzy logic. These sets also allow a natural reduction in difficulty based on the fuzzy logic. The complex fuzzy sets have a great significance in numerous executions, specifically, advanced control systems and predicting of the periodic events where multiple fuzzy variables are interlinked in a complex way that cannot be properly identified by conventional fuzzy operations. Zadeh [1] introduced the concept of fuzzy sets in 1965. Rosenfeld [2] innovated the idea of fuzzy subgroups based on fuzzy sets in 1971. Das [3] defined level subgroups of fuzzy groups in 1981. A comprehensive study about the development of elementary concepts of fuzzy subgroups can be viewed in [4–8]. The notion of fuzzy homomorphism was proposed by Chakraborty and Khare in [9]. Fang [10] characterized the decomposition theorems of fuzzy isomorphisms in 1994. Choudhury et al. [11] described the effects of fuzzy homomorphism on fuzzy subgroups. Chengyi and Qingan [12] investigated various key features of this phenomenon. One can study an effective research regarding applications of fuzzy homomorphism in [13–18]. Changzhong et al. [19] used the concept of fuzzy homomorphism as the main tool for studying the relationship between fuzzy information systems in 2014. Buckley [20] initiated the study of complex fuzzy numbers in 1989. Later on, he established a useful analysis of these numbers in the framework of derivation and integration in [21, 22]. In [23], Ramote et al. launched the study of complex fuzzy sets (CFS) in 2002 whereas two novel operations, namely reflection and rotations of these newly defined sets were explored in [24]. The authors defined complex fuzzy hyper structure [25], complex fuzzy subgroups [26] and complex fuzzy normal subgroups [27] over a complex fuzzy space in recent times. Alsarahead and Ahmad [28] extended the ideology of complex fuzzy sets to present the idea of complex fuzzy subgroups in 2017, whereas, the concept of complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets was originated in the same year [29]. Moreover, Yousaf et al. [30] gave the solution of decision-making problems on the basis of complex multi-fuzzy relations in 2018. More useful applications of complex fuzzy sets can be viewed in [31, 32]. Akram [33] presented a new technique of combining the complex pythagorean fuzzy information with competition graph in 2020. A comprehensive study of the significance of complex fuzzy sets in the frame work of complex fuzzy graphs can be viewed in [34, 35]. The competency of complex fuzzy set has played an effective role to solve many physical problems. It provides us the meaningful representations of measuring uncertainty and periodicity. Despite all of these advantages, we still face vast complications to counter various physical situations based on a complex valued membership function. This motivates us to define the notion of ξ –complex fuzzy set through which one can have multiple options to investigate a specific real-world situation in much efficient way by choosing appropriate value of the parameter ξ. The main theme of this paper is to initiate the study of ξ –CFS as a powerful extension of classical fuzzy sets and to prove various fundamental characteristics of the concept of support of these newly defined sets. We extend this ideology to innovate the notion of ξ –CFSG and prove many important algebraic aspects of this phenomenon. Moreover, we characterize the notions of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism and ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism between these particular fuzzy subgroups and explore the significance of these ideas by proving their fundamental theorems along with the practical applications of these notions related to the real-world situations. After a brief debate about the historical background and importance of CFS, the rest of the work in this article is organized as: the second section contains basic preliminaries which are quite essential to understand the main results of this article. In section three, we commence the study of ξ –CFS and ξ –CFSG along with their many important algebraic characteristics. In section four, we innovate the ideas of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism, ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism and prove three fundamental theorems of ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism. Section five contains a useful description of potential applications of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism related to many important physical situations. We also elucidate the importance of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism by presenting a comprehensive comparative analysis of this particular notion with the existing concept of complex fuzzy homomorphism.
Preliminaries
This section contains a brief review of the notion of CFS and related ideas, which are important to master the technicalities of the work presented in this article.
Definition 2.1 [28]. A CFS A defined on a universe of discourse U is characterized by a membership function μA (m) that allocates each element of U to a unit circle C* in complex plane and is written as rA (m) eiωA(m), where rA (m) denotes the real-valued function from U to the closed unit interval and eiωA(m) represents a periodic function ∀m, n ∈ U whose periodic law and principal period are 2π and 0 < argA (m) ⩽ 2π, respectively. Note that ωA (m) = argA (m) + 2kπ, where argA (m) is the principal argument and k ∈ Z.
Definition 2.2 [28]. Let A and B be any two CFS of a universe U, then
i. A is homogeneous CFS if rA (m) ≤ rA (n) implies ωA (m) ≤ ωA (n) and vice versa for all m, n ∈ U. ∀m, n ∈ U
ii. A is homogeneous CFS with B if rA (m) ⩽ rB (n) implies ωA (m) ⩽ ωB (n) and vice versa for all m, n ∈ U. ∀m, n ∈ U.
Definition 2.3 [28]. A homogeneous CFS A of a group G is said to be a CFSG if μA (mn)⩾ min { μA (m) , μA (n) } and μA (m-1) ⩾ μA (m), ∀m, n ∈ G.
Definition 2.4 [28]. Let A be a CFSG(G) and m ∈ G. The complex fuzzy left coset of A in G is represented by mA and is given by: mA (g) ={ μA (m-1g) : g ∈ G }. Similarly, one can define the complex fuzzy right coset of A in G.
Definition 2.5 [28]. A CFSG A of a group G is CFNSG(G) if mA = Am, ∀ m ∈ G.
Fundamental algebraic attributes of ξ –CFSG
In this section our main focus is to propose the concepts of ξ –CFS, ξ –CFSG and to investigate various fundamental algebraic aspects of these notions.
Definition 3.1. Let A be a CFS of a universe U and ξ = αeiβ be an element of a unit circle with 0 ⩽ α ⩽ 1 and 0 ⩽ β ⩽ 2π. The CFS Aξ is called the ξ –CFS with respect to CFS A and is represented by the following membership function: μAξ (m) = min(rA (m) eiωA(m), αeiβ) = min {rA (m) , α} eimin(ωA(m),β) = rAξ (m) eiωAξ(m), ∀ m ∈ U, where rAξ (m) is a real valued function from U to closed unit interval and eiωAξ(m) represents a periodic function whose periodic law and principal period are 2π and 0 < argAξ (m) ⩽ 2π, respectively.
The family of all ξ –CFS defined on the universe U is denoted by Fξ (U).
Example 3.2. Consider the complex fuzzy set A defined on set of integers as:
The ξ –CFSG Aξ corresponding to the value ξ = 0.9ei1.9π is defined as:
Definition 3.3. Let Aξ and Bξ ∈ Fξ (U).
i. The union of ξ –CFS Aξ and Bξ is denoted by Aξ ∪ Bξ and is described by the following membership function:
iv. The product of any two ξ –CFS Aξ and Bξ is denoted by Aξ ∘ Bξ and is defined as: .
Remark 3.4. The union and intersection of two ξ –CFS is also an ξ –CFS.
Definition 3.5. For any Aξ ∈ Fξ (U), the support of Aξ is defined as: .
Example 3.6. Consider the complex fuzzy set A defined on set of integers as:
The ξ –CFSG Aξ corresponding to the value ξ = 0.8ei1.1π is defined as:
Then the support of Aξ is .
Definition 3.7. Let Aξ and Bξ be any two ξ –CFS of a universe U, then
i. Aξ is homogeneous ξ –CFS if rAξ (m) ⩽ rAξ (n) implies ωAξ (m) ⩽ ωAξ (n) and vice versa ∀m, n ∈ U.
ii. Aξ is homogeneous ξ –CFS with Bξ if rAξ (m) ⩽ rBξ (n) implies ωAξ (m) ⩽ ωBξ (n) and vice versa ∀m, n ∈ U.
Note: Throughout this article, we consider ξ –CFS as a homogeneous ξ –CFS.
Definition 3.8. An ξ –CFS Aξ of a group G is called ξ –complex fuzzy subgroup (ξ –CFSG) of G if Aξ admits the following conditions:
i. μAξ (mn)⩾ min { μAξ (m) , μAξ (n) }.
ii. μAξ (m-1) ⩾ μAξ (m) , ∀ m, n ∈ G. The family of all ξ –CFSG defined on the group G is denoted by Fξ (G).
Example 3.9. The CFS A of group S3 is defined as:
Then the ξ –CFSG Aξ of G corresponding to the value ξ = 0.6ei1.2π is defined as:
Note that Aξ is ξ –CFSG because each of its level set is a group of S3. For instance the cut set ΩAξ corresponding to the value α = 0.5e1.1π is {1, (123) , (132)].
Definition 3.10. Let Aξ be an ξ –CFSG(G) and m ∈ G. The ξ –complex fuzzy left coset of Aξ in G is represented by mAξ and is defined as: mAξ (g) = μAξ (m-1g) ={ min { μA (m-1g) , ξ } : g ∈ G }.
Similarly, one can define the ξ –complex fuzzy right coset of Aξ in G.
Definition 3.11. An ξ –CFSG Aξ of a group G is ξ –complex fuzzy normal subgroup (ξ –CFNSG) of G if mAξ = Aξm, ∀ m ∈ G.
The family of all ξ –CFNSG defined on the group G is denoted by FξN (G).
Definition 3.12. For any ξ –CFNSG Aξ of G, the set of all ξ –complex fuzzy cosets of Aξ in G forms a group under multiplication of ξ –complex fuzzy cosets. This group is known as quotient group of G relative to ξ –CFNSG Aξ.
The following result defines an important property of the product of support of any two ξ –CFSG of a group G.
Theorem 3.13.Let Aξ and Bξ be the ξ –CFSG, then .
Proof. By using the Definition 3.5, we have μAξ∘Bξ (m) > 0 for all m ∈ (Aξ ∘ Bξ) *. This implies that . Then clearly μAξ (x) > 0 and μBξ (y) > 0.
Let where m = x . y, and . By applying the Definition 3.5 in the above relation, we get μAξ (x) > 0 and μBξ (y) > 0. This shows that , therefore, m ∈ (Aξ ∘ Bξ) *. Consequently,
By comparing (3.1) and (3.2), we obtain the required equality. In the subsequent result, we prove the normality of an ξ –CFSG of G.
Theorem 3.14.Let Aξ be an ξ –CFNSG(G), then is a normal subgroup of G.
Proof. By applying the Definition 3.5 and using the fact that Aξ is ξ –CFSG, we have μAξ (mn-1) > 0 for all . This implies that , therefore . Moreover, by applying Definition 3.5 and using the given condition on elements m ∈ G and , we have μAξ (mnm-1) > 0. Thus, , which establishes the condition of normality for .
In the following result, we show that support of any two ξ –CFSG admits the intersection property.
Theorem 3.15.For any Aξ and Bξ ∈ Fξ (G), .
Proof. In view of the Definition 3.5, we get μAξ∩Bξ (m) > 0, m ∈ (Aξ ∩ Bξ) *. This implies that min(μAξ (m) , μBξ (m)) > 0. Then μAξ (m) > 0 and μBξ (m) > 0, therefore, .
Moreover, by applying Definition 3.5 on an element , we obtain μAξ (m) > 0 and μBξ (m) > 0. This shows that min(μAξ (m) , μBξ (m)) > 0, therefore m ∈ (Aξ ∩ Bξ) *. Consequently,
By using of the relations (3.3) and (3.4), we get the required equality.
Definition 3.16. Let Aξ and Bξ ∈ Fξ (G) such that Aξ ⊆ Bξ. Then Aξ is an ξ –CFNSG of Bξ if μAξ (mnm-1)⩾ min { μAξ (n) , μBξ (m) }, ∀n ∈ Aξ and m ∈ Bξ.
The following result is about the relation of normality between the support of any two ξ –CFSG.
Theorem 3.17.If Aξ, Bξ ∈ Fξ (G) such that Aξ is an ξ –CFNSG of Bξ, then .
Proof. The application of Definition 3.5 on the elements and yields that μAξ (n) > 0 and μBξ (m) > 0. This implies that min { μAξ (n) , μBξ (m) } > 0. In view of Definition 3.16 and using the fact that Aξ is an ξ –CFNSG of Bξ, we have μAξ (mnm-1) > 0. This means that . Hence .
Theorem 3.18.Let Aξ be an ξ –CFNSG and Bξ be an ξ –CFSG of G, then Aξ ∩ Bξ is an ξ –CFNSG of Bξ.
Proof. In view of the Remark 3.4 and using the given condition Aξ ∩ Bξ ⊆ Bξ, there exist elements n ∈ Aξ ∩ Bξ and m ∈ Bξ in G such that
Thus, μAξ∩Bξ (mnm-1)⩾ min {μAξ∩Bξ (n) , μBξ (m)}. This concludes the proof.
Fundamental theorems of ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphisms of ξ –CFSG
In this section, we commence the study of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism and ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism between any two ξ –CFSG and develop the significance of these notions by establishing their fundamental theorems.
Definition 4.1. Suppose Aξ and Bξ are any two ξ –complex fuzzy subgroups of G and G′ respectively. A group homomorphism f from G to G′ is called a weak ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from Aξ to Bξ if f (Aξ) ⊆ Bξ. In this situation Aξ is said to be a weak ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphic to Bξ and is represented as Aξ ∼ Bξ. Moreover, f is called an ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from Aξ to Bξ if f (Aξ) = Bξ. We say that Aξ is an ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphic to Bξ and write it as Aξ ≈ Bξ. A group isomorphism f : G → G′ is called a weak complex fuzzy isomorphism from Aξ to Bξ if f (Aξ) ⊆ Bξ. In this case Aξ is a weak ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism to Bξ and is represented as Aξ ≃ Bξ. Moreover, f is called an ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism from Aξ to Bξ if f (Aξ) = Bξ. We say that Aξ is an ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism to Bξ and is expressed as Aξ ≅ Bξ.
Definition 4.2. Let Aξ and Bξ be any ξ –CFSG of G and G′ respectively and f be a group homomorphism from G to G′. The images of Aξ and Bξ under ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism f is defined as follows:
where n ∈ G′ and μf-1(Bξ) (m) = μBξ (f (m)) for all m ∈ G.
We observe the above stated algebraic facts in the following example.
Example 4.3. Consider the group homomorphism f from a multiplicative group G = R -{ 0 } to a multiplicative group G′ ={ 1, - 1 } in the following way:
The CFSG A and B of G and G′ are given by:
The ξ –CFSG Aξ and Bξ of G and G′ corresponding to the value ξ = 0.7ei1.2π are defined as:
The required ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism is given by: f (μAξ) (1) = 0.7ei1.2π and (μAξ) (- 1) = 0.6ei0.9π.
An important feature of the homomorphic image of the support of a given group under a ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism has been investigated in the subsequence result.
Theorem 4.4.For any Aξ ∈ Fξ (G), Bξ ∈ Fξ (G′) and a ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism f : Aξ → Bξ then .
Proof. For any element , we have . Consider, μf(Aξ) (n) = max { μAξ (m) , m ∈ f-1 (n) } ⩾ μAξ (m) > 0. Therefore, .
Moreover, the application of Definition 4.2 and the given condition establishes that
In the light of relations (4.1) and (4.2), we obtain .
The following result indicates that the image of ξ –CFSG is always ξ –CFSG.
Theorem 4.5.Let Aξ be a ξ –CFSG of G and f be a bijective homomorphism from G to G′ then f (Aξ) is a ξ –CFSG of G′.
Proof. In view of the given condition, for any two elements n1, n2 ∈ G′ there exist m1, m2 ∈ G such that f (m1) = n1 and f (m2) = n2. Consider
Thus, μ(f(A))ξ (n1n2) ⩾ min {μAξ (m1) , μAξ (m2)}.
This shows that μ(f(A))ξ (n1n2) ⩾ min {μf(Aξ) (n1) , μf(Aξ) (n2)}.
Further, μf(Aξ) (n-1) = μ(f(A))ξ (n).
The following result illustrates that every image of ξ –CFNSG is always ξ –CFNSG.
Theorem 4.6.Let Aξ be a ξ –CFNSG and f be bijective homomorphism from G to G′, then f (Aξ) is a ξ –CFNSG of G′.
Proof. In view of the given condition, for any elements n1, n2 ∈ G′ there exist elements m1, m2 ∈ G such that f (m1) = n1 and f (m2) = n2. Consider
In the following result, we establish that inverse image of a ξ –CFSG is always ξ –CFSG.
Theorem 4.7.Let Bξ be ξ –CFSG of G′ and f be a group homomorphism from group G to G′. Then f-1 (Bξ) is ξ –CFSG of G.
Proof. In the light of Definition 4.2 and using the given conditions, there exist elements m and n in G such that
Thus, μf-1(Bξ) (mn) ⩾ min {μf-1(Bξ) (m), μf-1(Bξ) (n)}. Moreover,
The following result explains that every inverse image of an ξ –CFNSG is an ξ –CFNSG.
Theorem 4.8.Let Bξ be an ξ –CFNSG of G′ and f be a group homomorphism from G to G′, then f-1 (Bξ) is an ξ –CFNSG of G.
Proof. By applying the Definition 4.2 and the given conditions, there exist m,n ∈ G such that μf-1(Bξ) (mn) = μBξ (f (mn)). This means that μf-1(Bξ) (mn) = μBξ (f (nm)). Hence f-1 (Bξ) is an ξ –CFNSG of G.
In the following result, we obtain ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism between Aξ ∈ Fξ (G) and .
Theorem 4.9.Let Aξ ∈ Fξ (G) and f be a natural homomorphism from G onto G/N, then Aξ is an ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphic to , where N ) G and .
Proof. Let us define the natural homomorphism f : G → G/N in the following way: f (g) = gN, g ∈ G.
For gN ∈ G/N, we have
Thus, . This means that . Hence .
The subsequent illustration supports the fact discussed in the above result.
Example 4.10. Consider a quotient group G/N ={ N, iN }, where G ={ ± 1, ± i } and N ={ ± 1 }. The CFSG A of G is defined as:
The ξ –CFSG Aξ of G for the value of ξ = 0.6ei1.2π is given as:
The natural homomorphism f from G onto G/N is defined as: f (g) = gN, ∀ g ∈ G.
Define CFSG Aρ of G/N as follows:
The ξ –CFSG of G/N for the value of ξ = 0.6ei1.2π is given as:
From the above discussion, it is quite clear that .
The following result establishes an ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism between and Bξ ∈ Fξ (G′).
Theorem 4.11. Fundamental theorem ofξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism. Let Aξ ∈ Fξ (G), Bξ ∈ Fξ (G′) and f : Aξ → Bξ be an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism. Then a function φ : G/N → G′ is ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism from to Bξ, where .
Proof. By using the fact that f is an ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from Aξ onto Bξ, we have f (Aξ) = Bξ. Moreover, the given mapping φ : G/N → G′ is defined as: φ (mN) = f (m) = n, ∀ m ∈ G. Clearly, φ is a group homomorphism from G/N onto G′. Consider
.
Thus, . Consequently, , which is the required ξ - complex fuzzy homomorphism from to Bξ.
The above algebraic fact can be visualized in the following example.
Example 4.12. Let us define a group homomorphism f from G ={ 1, a, b, ab } to G′ ={ 1, - 1 } as; .
The CFSG A and B of groups G and G′ are
For ξ = 0.6ei1.2π, the ξ –CFSG Aξ of G and Bξ of G′ are given by
Note that, f is an ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from Aξ to Bξ, that is,
The quotient group of G with respect to its normal subgroup N ={ 1, a } is G/N ={ N, bN }.
Define CFSG Aρ on G/N as follows;
The ξ –CFSG of G/N for the value of ξ = 0.6ei1.2π is given as;
The required ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from to Bξ is obtained in the following way:
and . Consequently, .
Remark 4.13. Let Aξ ∈ Fξ (G), Bξ ∈ Fξ (G′) and f : Aξ → Bξ be an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism with kerf = K. Then the function φ defined in the above theorem describes an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism from to Bξ, where .
Theorem 4.14.Let Aξ ∈ Fξ (G), Bξ ∈ Fξ (G′), N ) G, f (N) = N′ and f : Aξ → Bξ be an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism. Then a group epimorphism η : G′ → G′/N′ establishes an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism from Bξ to , Moreover, the map ψ = η ∘ f depicts an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism from Aξ to , where .
Proof. By using the fact that η and f are natural homomorphisms, we have (η ∘ f) (Aξ) (g′N′) = μ(η∘f)(Aξ) (g′N′) = max {μAξ (z) : z ∈ (η ∘ f) -1 (g′N′)} = max {μAξ (z) : z ∈ f-1 (η-1 (g′N′))}, where, g′N′ ∈ G′/N′.
Since f is an ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from Aξ to Bξ, therefore μ(η∘f)(Aξ) (g′N′) = μBξ (η-1 (g′N′)).
This shows that η is an ξ - complex fuzzy epimorphism from Bξ to . Moreover, μ(η∘f)(Aξ) (g′N′) = μη(Bξ) (g′N′). Consequently, . Hence , which is the required ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from Aξ to . We prove the existence of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism between ξ –CFSG and in the following result.
Theorem 4.15.Let f be an epimorphism from G to G′ and let Aξ and Bξ be ξ –CFSG of G and G′ respectively such that f (Aξ) = Bξ. Let η be the natural epimorphism from G′ to G′/N′ (where N′ ) G′) such that N ={ m ∈ G : f (m) ∈ N′ }. Then a group epimorphism φ : G/N → G′/N′ is an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism from to , where and .
Proof. The given epimorphism f may be defined as f (g) = g′, g′ ∈ G′. Moreover, the natural epimorphism η may be defined as η (g′) = g′N′. Then the epimorphism ψ = η ∘ f from G to G′/N′ is defined as ψ (g) = (η ∘ f) (g) = η (f (g)) = η (g′) = g′N′, ∀ g ∈ Gandg′ ∈ G′. Moreover, ψ (N) = (η ∘ f) (N) = η (f (N)) = η (N′) = N′. This means that ker(ψ) = N. It follows that ψ is an epimorphism from G to G′/N′ with N as its kernel. Hence there is an epimorphism φ from G/N to G′/N′ and is defined as: φ (gN) = g′N′.
Consider
.
Therefore, . Consequently, , which is the required ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism from to .
Theorem 4.16. First fundamental theorem ofξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism. Let Aξ ∈ Fξ (G), Bξ ∈ Fξ (G′) and f : Aξ → Bξ be an ξ –complex fuzzy epimorphism with kerf = K. Then Aξ/Cξ ≅ Bξ, where Cξ is an ξ –CFNSG of Aξ.
Proof. Consider an ξ –CFSG Cξ as follows:
Moreover, for any n ∈ Cξ, the given ξ –CFNSG Cξ of Aξ is defined as
By applying Theorem 4.4 and using the fact that Aξ ≈ Bξ, we have =. Consider an epimorphism with . Then there exists an isomorphism defined as follows: .
Theorem (4.17) Second fundamental theorem of ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism. Let Aξ ∈ FξN (G) and Bξ ∈ Fξ (G), such that μAξ (e) = μBξ (e). Then there is a weak ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism between Bξ/Aξ ∩ Bξ and Aξ ∘ Bξ/Aξ.
Proof. In view of Theorem (3.14), we have . In addition, by using the second fundamental theorem of group isomorphism, we have , where the corresponding group isomorphism f is defined as follows:
.
Consider
Therefore, . Hence μf(Bξ/(Aξ∩Bξ)) ⩽ μAξ∘Bξ/Aξ. Thus, f (Bξ/(Aξ ∩ Bξ)) ⊆ Aξ ∘ Bξ/Aξ. Consequently, we obtain the required week ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism between Bξ/(Aξ ∩ Bξ) and Aξ ∘ Bξ/Aξ.
Theorem 4.18.Third fundamental theorem ofξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism.Let Aξ, Bξ,Cξ ∈ Fξ (G) such that Aξ and Bξ are ξ –CFNSG of Cξ and Aξ ⊆ Bξ. Then (Cξ/Aξ)/(Bξ/Aξ) ≅ Cξ/Bξ.
Proof. In view of Theorem (3.17), , and . The algebraic facts lead to note that the quotient groups , and are well defined. Moreover, we obtain the following isomorphism by means of third theorem of group isomorphism:
, where the corresponding group isomorphism f is defined as follows:
Consider
Therefore, f ((Cξ/Aξ)/(Bξ/Aξ)) = Cξ/Bξ. Consequently, (Cξ/Aξ)/(Bξ/Aξ) ≅ Cξ/Bξ.
Solutions of decision-making problems under the environment of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism
Science and technology questioned the concept of similarity in art and that the rhythm of scientific and technological discoveries at the turn of the 20th century was parallel to the transition from the concept of similarity to the concept of homomorphism in the conceptualization of artistic representation. Homomorphism refers to a representation that allocates with a point correspondence between depicted objects and perceptual data. Logically, a fuzzy homomorphism is such a mathematical tool between two fuzzy varieties which preserves their properties and relations. Despite of all advantages of fuzzy homomorphism, we still come across immense complications to counter various physical challenges based on a real valued membership function. It is, therefore, very essential to present the notion of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism as a powerful extension of classical fuzzy homomorphism which is quite capable of counter such situations due to its structural flexibilities. This section summarizes the significance of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism by virtue of some important applications of this phenomenon to various decision-making problems.
The Fig. 1 indicates some of the physical challenges that can easily be countered under the environment of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism.
Applications of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism.
For instance, consider the application of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism in positioning of the image. A photograph of a person is in fact his homomorphic image that interprets his many biological features like tall or short, heavy or thin, old or young and male or female. Sometime the homomorphic image becomes corrupted due to many distortions (like scale and pincushion distortion) in the lenses. A scale distortion enlarges or reduces an object horizontally, vertically or both. This kind of distortion can be viewed in the following Fig. 2.
Scale distortion.
A distortion in which magnification increases with distance from the axis is called pincushion distortion. The Fig. 3 describes the existence of pincushion distortion in the image of an object:
Pincushion distortion.
We apply ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism on a corrupted photograph to remove scale and pincushion distortion in order to get its original form.
Example 5.1. The homomorphic image of a ten sided polygone in the context of complex fuzzy homomorphism contains two types of distortions (scale and pincushion). The following table indicates the scale and pincushion distortion of the corrupted homomorphic image by means of membership function of a complex fuzzy set A where rA and ωA represent the degrees of involment of the scale and pincushion distortions respectively.

The scale and pincushion distortions in the corrupted homomorphic image can be viewed in the Figs. 4 and 5.
Diagrammatic view of scale distortion.
Diagrammatic view of pincushion distortion.
Let ξ = αeiβ be a parameter through which the corrupted homomorphic image is refined using ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism, where α and β denote the degrees of refinement in scale and pincushion distortions respectively. Initially, we obtain the refined homomorphic image after removing the scale distortion by setting α = 0.4. This can be viewed in the following diagram.
Now we eliminate the effect of pincushion distortion from the image by setting β = 0.3π. In this way, the original form of the homomorphic image looks like as:
Comparative Analysisof the application ofξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism: When we apply complex fuzzy homomorphism on a ten sided polygon, the homomorphic image contains two types of distortions (scale and pincushion) as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 respectively. These distortions have been removed from the homomorphic image in the frame work of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism by setting an appropriate value of the parameter ξ. This process has graphically been shown in Figs. 6 and 7. From the above discussion, it is quite evident that the notion of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism is more effective tool than the concept of complex fuzzy homomorphism in order to obtain the solutions of various real-world problems based on complex valued functions.

Note: Many useful applications of fundamental theorems of ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism to solve many real-world situations will be explored in our next paper.
Conclusion
In the present work, we have introduced the concept of ξ –CFSG over ξ –CFS and have proved their numerous algebraic postulates. Moreover, the notions of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism and ξ –complex fuzzy isomorphism between any two ξ –CFSG have also been proposed in this article. We have also explored the importance of these newly defined ideas by presenting their fundamental theorems. In addition, the significance of ξ –complex fuzzy homomorphism has also been highlighted by presenting some important applications of this phenomenon to the solutions of various decision-making problems.
