Fuzzy relation equations and inequalities (Q801903)

Let L be a complete lattice. The author introduces a generalization of the concept of Brouwerian lattice in the form of a lattice with an implication induced by a monotone binary operation assigned in L. The induced implications in the complete lattice L(X\(\times Y)\) of the fuzzy relations, with membership functions defined on two sets X and Y and assuming values in L, are also considered and the greatest (or the least) solution of related composite fuzzy relation equation is provided. This result generalizes the well known methods of solution of \textit{E. Sanchez} [Inf. Control 30, 38-48 (1976; Zbl 0326.02048)] and \textit{W. Pedrycz} [BUSEFAL 11, 24-32 (1982; Zbl 0498.04004)].
