Length-fuzzy subalgebras in BCK/BCI-algebras (Q1657251)

Summary: As a generalization of interval-valued fuzzy sets and fuzzy sets, the concept of hyperfuzzy sets was introduced by \textit{J. Ghosh} and \textit{T. K. Samanta} [``Hyperfuzzy sets and hyperfuzzy group'', Int. J. Advanced Sci. Technol. 41, 27--37 (2012)]. The aim of this manuscript is to introduce the length-fuzzy set and apply it to BCK/BCI-algebras. The notion of length-fuzzy subalgebras in BCK/BCI-algebras is introduced, and related properties are investigated. Characterizations of a length-fuzzy subalgebra are discussed. Relations between length-fuzzy subalgebras and hyperfuzzy subalgebras are established.
