Weakly induced modifications of \(I\)-fuzzy topologies (Q885633)

This paper extends the literature concerning the categorical structures of fuzzy topological spaces as originally introduced by [\textit{C. L. Chang}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 24, 182--190 (1968; Zbl 0167.51001)] and later on modified by several authors. In this paper the authors use the definition of an I-fuzzy topology as a mapping from the class of Zadeh's fuzzy sets to the unit interval [0,1] satisfying properties that are analogous to the ones defining \textit{U. Höhle}'s fuzzifying topology [ibid. 78, 659-673 (1980; Zbl 0462.54002)]. They study weakly induced I-fuzzy topological spaces and weakly induced modifications of I-fuzzy topologies from a categorical point of view. It is shown that the category of weakly induced I-fuzzy topological spaces constitutes a reflective and coreflective full subcategory of the category of I-fuzzy topological spaces. Further on the authors study the relationships between several categories of fuzzy topological spaces. Among them the category of stratified Chang-Goguen topological spaces.
