On fuzzy ideals of a ring. I (Q1821817): Difference between revisions

The authors establish an interesting characterization of the regular rings via the notion of fuzzy ideals. Then, after they have introduced the definition of fuzzy prime ideal of a ring R, they single out the R- prime ideals from the family of R-ideals, with the equivalence: \[ A\text{ R-prime ideal }\Leftrightarrow \quad \lambda_ A\text{ fuzzy prime ideal of } R \] where \(\lambda_ A\) is the characteristic function of A. At last the authors apply the previous results: (a) to the ring \({\mathbb{Z}}\) of integers, obtaining some interesting properties of \({\mathbb{Z}}\)-fuzzy ideals; (b) to ring theory, obtaining a sufficient condition in order that a ring with unity is Noetherian.
