Solution sets of \(\inf\)-\(\alpha_{\mathcal J}\) fuzzy relational equations on complete Brouwerian lattices (Q2384831): Difference between revisions

The study is concerned with the development of solutions of fuzzy relational equations defined on complete Brouwerian lattices. The equations under consideration assume the following form \[ \inf_{j\in{\mathbf J}}\alpha_F(a_j, x_j)= b, \] where \(a_j\) and \(b\) are elements of the complete Brouwerian lattice and \(\alpha_F\) is a general inverse operation of \(F\) with \(F\) belonging to a family of infinitely \(\vee\)-distributive pseudo-t-norms. The index \(j\) comes from some finite set \({\mathbf J}\). The elements \(a_j\) and \(b\) are given and \(x_j\) are to be determined. The equations under study form a generalization of well-known inf-\(\alpha\) fuzzy relational equations in case the pseudo-t norm is the minimum operation. The study provides necessary and sufficient conditions required for the existence of a nonempty solution set. Furthermore it is shown how the maximal solutions to the equations are determined.
