Fuzzy topologies with specified level properties (Q1083055): Difference between revisions

Recently the author and P. Wuyts have studied the problem of defining fuzzy topologies when the family of \(\alpha\)-closure operators or the family of level topologies is given. This paper is concerned with the relationship between these two problems. When the family of topologies is a chain with the LT-property, there is a natural family of closure operators that generates the Wuyts maximum, i.e., the largest fuzzy topology with the given level topologies. As a corollary, it is shown that the fuzzy neighborhood spaces are precisely the \(\alpha\)-pseudo- regular spaces. In general, the relationship between the two problem is weak. For example, given an LT-family of topologies and an L-FTP family of semi- closure operators, there is a fuzzy topology associated with both if and only if the 0-level topology and the \(\alpha\)-closure of a set is always closed in the \(\alpha\)-level topology. Lastly, it is shown that, when a function's domain has a Wuyts maximum as its topology, fuzzy continuity is equivalent to level continuity.
