The determinant and adjoint of a square fuzzy matrix (Q5917678)

Paper deals with matrices over the semiring \(([0,1]\), max, min) [cf. \textit{K. H. Kim} and \textit{F. W. Roush}, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 4, 293-315 (1980; Zbl 0451.20055)]. The authors cite some results on a permanent \((\text{per}(A))\) and the adjoint \((\text{adj}(A))\) of the square matrix \(A\) [cf. \textit{J. B. Kim}, \textit{A. Baartmans} and \textit{N. S. Sahadin}, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 29, 349-356 (1989; Zbl 0668.15004)]. It is proved that \(\text{per}(\text{adj}(A)) = \text{per}(A)\) and \((A \text{ adj}(A))^2 \leq A \text{ adj}(A)\). Other results concern reflexive, symmetric, transitive and circular matrices (fuzzy relations).
