Fuzzy ideals of ordered semigroups with fuzzy orderings

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to introduce the notions of ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy ideals of a fuzzy ordered semigroup with the ordering being a fuzzy relation. Several characterizations of ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy left (resp. right) ideals and ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy interior ideals are derived. The lattice structures of all ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy (interior) ideals on such fuzzy ordered semigroup are studied and some methods are given to construct an ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy (interior) ideals from an arbitrary fuzzy subset. Finally, the characterizations of generalized semisimple fuzzy ordered semigroups in terms of ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy ideals (resp. ∈, ∈ ∨qk-fuzzy interior ideals) are developed.
