Generated and cyclic fuzzy groups (Q1803192)

Subgroups and normal subgroups of a fuzzy group are defined, and their criteria are established. The fuzzy order of an element of a group is defined, and its relationship with the order of a group is defined, and its relationship with the order of the element is examined. The construction of the smallest fuzzy group containing a given arbitrary fuzzy set is systematized. A cyclic fuzzy group that is a restriction of a fuzzy group or that is generated by a fuzzy point is brought to discussion. The usual interactions between a cyclic and an abelian fuzzy group are pointed out. The possibility that an abelian fuzzy group might be isomorphic to a direct product of some of its cyclic subgroups is touched upon.
