Finitely generated T-fuzzy linear spaces (Q1114895)

Based on earlier papers by the author [Fuzzy Math. 4, No.2, 29-40 and No.3, 59-62 (1984; Zbl 0565.46008 and Zbl 0565.46009)] finitely generated T-fuzzy linear spaces, T being a general t-norm, are introduced and studied. First, a few basic definitions and notations are presented for reference purposes. Next, in Section 3, a definition of finitely generated T-fuzzy linear spaces is proposed and their structure is roughly studied. Particularly, it is pointed out that if X is a finite dimensional real or complex Euclidean space, every Min-fuzzy linear space in X [i.e., fuzzy subspace of X in the sense of \textit{A. K. Katsaras} and \textit{D. B. Liu}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 58, 135-146 (1977; Zbl 0358.46011)] is finitely generated. In Section 4, a definition is given of simply generated T-fuzzy linear spaces and it is shown that every finitely generated T-fuzzy linear space can be decomposed into a finite number of simply generated T-fuzzy linear spaces. Finally, in Section 5, the concepts are introduced of T-equivalence and congruence for finite families of fuzzy points and a sufficient condition for them to be T- equivalent is given. Besides this, for the case that T is a strict t- norm, it is shown that under an appropriate assumption, the condition is also necessary.
