ℒ-Fuzzy Ideals of Residuated Lattices

Abstract

Abstract This paper mainly focuses on building the ℒ-fuzzy ideals theory of residuated lattices. Firstly, we introduce the notion of ℒ-fuzzy ideals of a residuated lattice and obtain their properties and equivalent characterizations. Also, we introduce the notion of prime fuzzy ideal, fuzzy prime ideal and fuzzy prime ideal of the second kind of a residuated lattice and establish existing relationships between these types of fuzzy ideals. Finally, we investigate the notions of fuzzy maximal ideal and maximal fuzzy ideal of a residuated lattice and present some characterizations.
