Cut approach to islands in rectangular fuzzy relations (Q622074): Difference between revisions

If the domain of a relation is considered to be a table, then a rectangular subset of the domain whose values are greater than the neighbour values is called an island. The authors prove that for every finite fuzzy relation there is a rectangular fuzzy relation with the same islands. An algorithm is presented and suitable examples illustrate the above concepts. Moreover it is proved that for every rectangular fuzzy relation \(R\) there is a lattice and a lattice-valued relation whose cuts coincide with the islands of \(R\).
