Gradations of openness and Chang's fuzzy topologies (Q1965332)

The authors study the level decomposition of a gradation of openness \((=[0,1]\)-fuzzy topology in the sense of the reviewer, see [Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo, II. Ser. Suppl. 11, 89-103 (1985; Zbl 0638.54007)]) and some related problems. Two gradations of openness \(\sigma:[0,1]^X\to [0,1]\) and \(\sigma': [0,1]^X\to [0,1]\) are called equivalent if they have the same systems of level (Chang) fuzzy topologies. It is shown that for every strictly monotone function \(\varphi:[0,1] \to[0,1]\) the mapping \(\varphi\circ \sigma: [0,1]^X \to [0,1]\) is a gradation of openness equivalent to \(\sigma\).
