Fuzzy bilinear equations (Q1115505)

The author asks for common values of two fuzzy relation transformations, which lead to the system of fuzzy relation equations (max-min composition): \(Ax=b\), \(Cx=b\), where \(A,C\in [0,1]^{m\times n}\), \(x\in [0,1]^ n\), \(b\in [0,1]^ m\). He presents an algorithm for the determination of the greatest solution x and the greatest result b for given A and C. Some properties of the solution sets and of the result set are presented, but their full description is an open problem. This is a generalization of the eigenproblem for fuzzy relations [cf. \textit{E. Sanchez}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 81, 339-421 (1981; Zbl 0466.04003)].
