Using the idea of the new sort of fuzzy subnear-ring of a near-ring fuzzy subgroups and their generalizations defined by variousresearchers we try to introduce the notion of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideals of 119873-groups These fuzzy ideals are characterized by their levelideals and some other related properties are investigated

1 Introduction and Basic Definitions

The concept of a fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh [1] in1965 utilizing what Rosenfeld [2] defined as fuzzy subgroupsThis was studied further in detail by different researchersin various algebraic systems The concept of a fuzzy idealof a ring was introduced by Liu [3] The notion of fuzzysubnear-ring and fuzzy ideals was introduced by Abou-Zaid[4] Then in many papers fuzzy ideals of near-rings werediscussed for example see [5ndash11] In [12] the idea of fuzzypoint and its belongingness to and quasi coincidence with afuzzy set were used to define (120572 120573)-fuzzy subgroup where 120572120573 take one of the values from 120598 119902 120598 and 119902 120598 or 119902 120572 = 120598 and 119902A fuzzy subgroup in the sense of Rosenfeld is in fact an(120598 120598)-fuzzy subgroup Thus the concept of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzysubgroup was introduced and discussed thoroughly in [7]Bhakat and Das [13] introduced the concept of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subrings and ideals of a ringDavvaz [14 15]Narayananand Manikantan [16] and Zhan and Davvaz [17] studied anew sort of fuzzy subnear-ring (ideal and prime ideal) called(120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subnear-ring (ideal and prime ideal) and gavecharacterizations in terms of the level ideals In [18 19] theidea of fuzzy ideals of 119873-groups was defined and variousproperties such as fundamental theorem of fuzzy ideals andfuzzy congruence were studied respectively In the presentpaper we extend the idea of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideals of near-rings to the case of 119873-groups and introduce the idea of fuzzycosets with some results

We first recall some basic concepts for the sake of com-pleteness

By anear-ring wemean a nonempty set119873with two binaryoperations ldquo+rdquo and ldquosdotrdquo satisfying the following axioms

(i) (119873 +) is a group(ii) (119873 sdot) is a semigroup(iii) (119909 + 119910) sdot 119911 = 119909 sdot 119911 + 119910 sdot 119911 for all 119909 119910 119911 isin 119873

It is in fact a right near-ring because it satisfies the rightdistributive law We will use the word ldquonear-ringrdquo to meanldquoright near-ringrdquo 119873 is said to be zero symmetric if 0 sdot 119909 =

119909 sdot 0 = 0 for all 119909 isin 119873 We denote 119909 sdot 119910 by 119909119910Note that the missing left distributive law 119909 sdot (119910 + 119911) =

119909 sdot 119910 + 119909 sdot 119911 has to do with linearity if 119909 is considered as afunction

Example 1 Let G be a group and let 119872(G) be the set of allmappings fromG intoG We define + and sdot on 119872(G) by

(119891 + 119892) (119909) = 119891 (119909) + 119892 (119909)

(119891 sdot 119892) (119909) = 119891 (119892 (119909))

(1)

Then (119872(G) + sdot) is a near-ring

Just in the same way as 119877-modules or vector spaces areused in ring theory 119873-groups are used in near-ring theory

2 Algebra

By an 119873-group we mean a nonempty set 119866 together witha map Φ 119873 times 119866 rarr 119866 written as Φ(119899 119892) = 119899119892 satisfying thefollowing conditions

(i) (119866 +) is a group (not necessarily abelian)

(ii) (1198991+ 1198992)119892 = 119899

1119892 + 1198992119892

(iii) (11989911198992)119892 = 119899

1(1198992119892) for all 119899

1 1198992isin 119873 119892 isin 119866

Example 2 Let 119873 be a subnear-ring of 119872(G) Then G is an119873-group via function application as operation

Example 3 The additive group (119873 +) of a near-ring (119873 + sdot)

is an 119873-group via the near-ring multiplication

An ideal 119868 of 119873-group 119866 is an additive normal subgroupof 119866 such that 119873119868 sube 119868 and 119899(119892 + ℎ) minus 119899119892 isin 119868 for all ℎ isin 119868119892 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 A mapping between two 119873-groups 119866 and 119866

1015840

is called an 119873-homomorphism if 119891(119892 + ℎ) = 119891(119892) + 119891(ℎ) and119891(119899119892) = 119899119891(119892) for all 119892 ℎ isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Throughout this study we use 119873 to denote a zero-symmetric near-ring and 119866 to denote an 119873-group

For any fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 119868119898119860 = 119860(119909) | 119909 isin 119866

denotes the image of 119860 For any subset 119868 of 119866 120594119868denotes the

characteristic function of 119868

Definition 4 (see [2]) A fuzzy subset 119860 of a group 119866 is calleda fuzzy subgroup of 119866 if it satisfies the following conditions

(i) 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910)

(ii) 119860(minus119909) ge 119860(119909)

for all 119909 119910 isin 119866

Definition 5 For a fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 119905 isin (0 1] the subset119860119905

= 119909 isin 119866 | 119860(119909) ge 119905 is called a level subset of 119866 deter-mined by 119860 and 119905

The set 119909 isin 119866 | 119860(119909) gt 0 is called the support of 119860 andis denoted by Supp119860 A fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 of the form

119860 (119910) =

119905 ( = 0) if 119910 = 119909

0 if 119910 = 119909

(2)

is said to be a fuzzy point denoted by 119909119905 Here 119909 is called the

support point and 119905 is called its value A fuzzy point 119909119905is

said to belong to (resp quasi coincident with) a fuzzy set 119860

written as 119909119905120598119860 (resp 119909

119905119902119860) if 119860(119909) ge 119905 (resp 119860(119909) + 119905 gt 1)

If 119909119905

isin 119860 or 119909119905119902119860 then we write 119909

119905isin or119902119860 The symbols

119909119905isin119860 119909

119905119902119860 119909119905isin or119902119860 mean that 119909

119905119902119860 119909119905

Definition 6 (see [7 12]) A fuzzy subset of a group 119866 is saidto be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 if for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 and119905 119903 isin (0 1]

119905isin or119902119860

Remark 7 (see [7]) The conditions (i) and (ii) of Definition 6are respectively equivalent to

(i) 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) 05(ii) 119860(minus119909) ge min119860(119909) 05

for all 119909 119910 isin 119866

Remark 8 For any (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup119860 of 119866 such that119860(119909) ge 05 for some 119909 isin 119866 then119860(0) ge 05 and if119860(0) lt 05then 119860(119909) lt 05 for all 119909 isin 119866 So 119860 is just the usual fuzzysubgroup in the sense of Rosenfeld

Remark 9 It is noted that if 119860 is a fuzzy subgroup then it isan (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 However the converse maynot be true

Here onwards we assume that 119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzysubgroup in the nontrivial sense for which case we have119860(0) ge 05

Definition 10 (see [7]) An (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy subgroup of a group119866 is said to be (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy normal subgroup if for any 119909 119910 isin

119866 and 119905 isin (0 1]

Remark 11 (see [7]) The condition of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy normalsubgroup is given in the equivalent forms as

(i) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge min119860(119909) 05(ii) 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119910 + 119909) 05(iii) 119860([119909 119910]) ge min119860(119909) 05 for all 119909 119910 isin 119866

Here [119909 119910] denotes the commutator of 119909 119910 in 119866

In the light of this fact the condition of Definition 10 canbe replaced by any one of the above conditions in Remark 8

Definition 12 (see [18]) Let 119860 be a fuzzy subset of an 119873-group 119866 It is called a fuzzy 119873-subgroup of 119866 if it satisfies thefollowing conditions

(i) 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910)(ii) 119860(119899119909) ge 119860(119909)

for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Remark 13 If 119866 is a unitary 119873-group the above conditionsare equivalent to conditions119860(119909minus119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) and119860(119899119909) ge 119860(119909) for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Definition 14 (see [18 19]) A nonempty fuzzy subset 119860 of an119873-group 119866 is called a fuzzy ideal if it satisfies the followingconditions

(i) 119860(119909 minus 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910)(ii) 119860(119899119909) ge 119860(119909)(iii) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge 119860(119909)(iv) 119860(119899(119909 + 119910) minus 119899119909) ge 119860(119910)

2 Generalized Fuzzy Ideals

Proof It is immediate from Lemma 20

By definition a fuzzy ideal of 119866 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy idealof 119866 But the converse is not true in general as shown by thefollowing example

Example 22 Consider 119866 = S3

= 119894 1205881 1205882 1205911 1205912 1205913 (written

additively) to be a Z-group Define a fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866

as 119860(119894) = 1 119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 119860(120591

2) = 119860(120591

3) = 06

119860(1205911) = 08 which is not fuzzy ideal as 119860[2(120591

1+ 1205912) minus 2120591

2] =

119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 06 lt 119860(120591

1) it contradicts the condition

(iv) of Definition 14 As 119860(119909 minus 119910) 119860(119899119909) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) and119860(119899(119909+119886)minus119899119909) = 06 or 08 ge min05 06 or 08 = 05 thusthe notion of (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal is a successful generalizationof fuzzy ideals of 119866 as introduced in [18]

Theorem 23 Let 119860119894 119894 isin 119869 be any family of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy

Proof It is straightforward

Theorem 24 A nonempty subset 119868 of 119866 is an ideal of 119866 if andonly if 120594

119868is an (isin isin or119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof If 119868 is an ideal of119866 it is clear from [18 Proposition 211]that 120594

119868is fuzzy ideal of 119866 Since every fuzzy ideal is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal 120594119868is (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

A definition for the previous kind of fuzzy subset wasgiven for the case of near-rings in [17] Now we give thedefinition for 119873-groups

Definition 28 A fuzzy subset of 119866 is called an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzysubgroup of 119866 if for all 119905 119903 isin (0 1] and for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Moreover 119860 is called an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 if119860 is (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 and

Theorem 29 A fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy idealof 119866 if and only if

Proof (i)a hArr (1)a Let 119909 119910 isin 119866 be such that max119860(119909 +

119905isin119860 So we must have 119909

119905isinV119902119860 or 119910

But 119909119905isin 119860 and 119910

Conversely let (119909 + 119910)min(119905119903)isin119860 Then 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min(119905119903) If 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then min119860(119909) 119860(119910) lt

min(119905 119903) Hence either 119860(119909) lt 119905 or 119860(119910) lt 119903 which implies119909119905isin119860 or 119910

Again if 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then by (1)a

05 ge min 119860 (119909) 119860 (119910) gt 119860 (119909 + 119910) (4)

Suppose that 119909119905

which means that 119905 le 05 a contradictionConversely suppose that (119909)

Similarly we can prove the remaining parts

Theorem 30 A fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 is an (120598 120598V119902)-fuzzy idealif and only if 119860

3 Fuzzy Cosets and Isomorphism Theorem

In this section we first study the properties of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzyideals under a homomorphismThen we introduce the fuzzycosets and prove the fundamental isomorphism theorem on119873-groupswith respect to the structure induced by these fuzzycosets

Theorem 31 Let 119866 and 1198661015840 be two 119873-groups and let 119891 119866 rarr

1198661015840 be an119873-homomorphism If119891 is surjective and119860 is an (120598 120598or

119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then so is119891(119860) If119861 is a (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy idealof 1198661015840 then 119891

minus1(119861) is a fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof We assume that 119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Forany 119909 119910 isin 119866

1015840 it follows that

119891 (119860) (119909 + 119910)

Therefore 119891(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Similarly wecan show that 119891minus1(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Theorem 36 For any (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal 119860 of 119866 119866119860the set

of all fuzzy cosets of 119860 in 119866 is an 119873-group under the additionand scalar multiplication defined by119860

119909+119860119910

= 119860119909+119910

119899(119860119909) =

119860119899119909

for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 The function 119860(119860119909) 119866119860

119909isin 119866119860is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860

Proof First we show that the compositions are well definedLet 119909 119910 119888 119889 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 such that 119860

119909= 119860119910and 119860

119888= 119860119889

Then119860(119909minus119910) ge 05119860(119888minus119889) ge 05 Now we havemin119860(119909+

119888minus119889minus119910) 05 ge min119860(minus119910+119909+119888minus119889) 05 = 05which impliesthat119860(119909+ 119888minus119889minus119910) ge 05 So by Lemma 34 we have119860

119909+119888=

119860119910+119889

Again 119860119899119909

(119892) = min119860(119892 minus 119899119909) 05 ge min119860(119892 minus

119899119910) 119860(119899119909 minus 119899119910) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119899119910) 119860[119899(119910 minus 119910 + 119909) minus

119899119910] 05 ge min119860(119892minus119899119910) 119860(minus119910+119909) 05 = 119860119899119910

(119892) Similarlywe show that 119860

119899119910(119892) ge 119860

119899119909(119892) Thus for 119860

119899119910(119892) = 119860

119899119909(119892)

for all 119892 isin 119866 Hence the compositions are well defined It isnow easy to verify that119866

119860is an119873-groupwith null element119860

0

and negative element119860minus119909 Next we check that119860 is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860 Let 119860

119909 119860119910

isin 119866119860 We have

(i) 119860(119860119909minus119860119910) = 119860(119860

119909minus119910) = 119860(119909minus119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910)

05 = min119860(119860119909) 119860(119860

119910) 05

(ii) 119860(119860119899119909

) = 119860(119899119909) ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909)

05(iii) 119860(119860

119910+ 119860119909

minus 119860119910) = 119860(119860119910+119909minus119910

) = 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge

min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

(iv) 119860[119899(119860119910+119860119909)minus119899119860

119910] = 119860[119860

119899(119910+119909)minus119899119910] = 119860[119899(119910+119909)minus

119899119910] ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

Hence the proof is completed

Lemma 37 Let 119867 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860119909

ge 1198600 119870 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860

119909=

1198600 Then 119870 = 119867 = 119860

05

Proof Let 119909 isin 119867 Then for all 119892 isin 119866 119860119909(119892) ge 119860

0(119892) rArr

min119860(119892 minus 119909) 05 ge min119860(119892) 05 rArr min119860(minus119909) 05 ge

min119860(0) 05 = 05 rArr 119860(119909) ge 05 Also for 119892 isin 1198661198600(119892) = min119860(119892) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909 + 119909) 05 ge

min119860(119892 minus 119909) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909) 05 = 119860119909(119892) rArr

1198600

ge 119860119909 So 119867 = 119870 As we have seen if 119909 isin 119867 then

119860(119909) ge 05 rArr 119909 isin 11986005 Conversely if 119909 isin 119860

05 for any

119892 isin 119866 119860(119892 minus 119909) ge min119860(119892) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892) 05 rArr

min119860(119892 minus 119909) 05 ge min119860(119892) 05 rArr 119860119909

ge 1198600 Thus

119867 = 11986005 which means that 119867 is an ideal of 119866

Theorem38 If119860 is an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then themap119891 119866 rarr 119866

119860given by 119891(119909) = 119860

119909is an 119873-homomorphism

with kernel 119891 = 11986005

and so 11986611986005

is isomorphic to 119866119860

Proof It is clear that 119891 is an onto 119873-homomorphism from 119866

to 119866119860with kernel 119891 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119891(119909) = 119891(0) = 119909 isin 119866 |

119860119909

= 1198600 = 119860

Corollary 39 Let119860 be an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 and let 119861be an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866

119860Then 119861 119866 rarr [0 1] defined

by 119861(119909) = 119861(119860119909) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 containing 119860

Example 2 Let 119873 be a subnear-ring of 119872(G) Then G is an119873-group via function application as operation

Example 3 The additive group (119873 +) of a near-ring (119873 + sdot)

is an 119873-group via the near-ring multiplication

An ideal 119868 of 119873-group 119866 is an additive normal subgroupof 119866 such that 119873119868 sube 119868 and 119899(119892 + ℎ) minus 119899119892 isin 119868 for all ℎ isin 119868119892 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 A mapping between two 119873-groups 119866 and 119866

is called an 119873-homomorphism if 119891(119892 + ℎ) = 119891(119892) + 119891(ℎ) and119891(119899119892) = 119899119891(119892) for all 119892 ℎ isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Throughout this study we use 119873 to denote a zero-symmetric near-ring and 119866 to denote an 119873-group

For any fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 119868119898119860 = 119860(119909) | 119909 isin 119866

Definition 4 (see [2]) A fuzzy subset 119860 of a group 119866 is calleda fuzzy subgroup of 119866 if it satisfies the following conditions

The set 119909 isin 119866 | 119860(119909) gt 0 is called the support of 119860 andis denoted by Supp119860 A fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 of the form

119860 (119910) =

If 119909119905

isin 119860 or 119909119905119902119860 then we write 119909

Definition 6 (see [7 12]) A fuzzy subset of a group 119866 is saidto be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 if for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 and119905 119903 isin (0 1]

Remark 7 (see [7]) The conditions (i) and (ii) of Definition 6are respectively equivalent to

(i) 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) 05(ii) 119860(minus119909) ge min119860(119909) 05

Remark 8 For any (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup119860 of 119866 such that119860(119909) ge 05 for some 119909 isin 119866 then119860(0) ge 05 and if119860(0) lt 05then 119860(119909) lt 05 for all 119909 isin 119866 So 119860 is just the usual fuzzysubgroup in the sense of Rosenfeld

Remark 9 It is noted that if 119860 is a fuzzy subgroup then it isan (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 However the converse maynot be true

Here onwards we assume that 119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzysubgroup in the nontrivial sense for which case we have119860(0) ge 05

Definition 10 (see [7]) An (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy subgroup of a group119866 is said to be (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy normal subgroup if for any 119909 119910 isin

Remark 11 (see [7]) The condition of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy normalsubgroup is given in the equivalent forms as

(i) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge min119860(119909) 05(ii) 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119910 + 119909) 05(iii) 119860([119909 119910]) ge min119860(119909) 05 for all 119909 119910 isin 119866

Here [119909 119910] denotes the commutator of 119909 119910 in 119866

Theorem 21 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902) fuzzy subgroup of 119866 Then119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 if and only if

Proof It is immediate from Lemma 20

By definition a fuzzy ideal of 119866 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy idealof 119866 But the converse is not true in general as shown by thefollowing example

Example 22 Consider 119866 = S3

additively) to be a Z-group Define a fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866

as 119860(119894) = 1 119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 119860(120591

2) = 119860(120591

3) = 06

119860(1205911) = 08 which is not fuzzy ideal as 119860[2(120591

1+ 1205912) minus 2120591

2] =

119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 06 lt 119860(120591

1) it contradicts the condition

(iv) of Definition 14 As 119860(119909 minus 119910) 119860(119899119909) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) and119860(119899(119909+119886)minus119899119909) = 06 or 08 ge min05 06 or 08 = 05 thusthe notion of (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal is a successful generalizationof fuzzy ideals of 119866 as introduced in [18]

Theorem 23 Let 119860119894 119894 isin 119869 be any family of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy

ideals of 119866 Then 119860 = ⋂119860119894is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof It is straightforward

Theorem 24 A nonempty subset 119868 of 119866 is an ideal of 119866 if andonly if 120594

119868is an (isin isin or119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof If 119868 is an ideal of119866 it is clear from [18 Proposition 211]that 120594

119868is fuzzy ideal of 119866 Since every fuzzy ideal is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal 120594119868is (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Conversely let 120594119868be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Let

We are looking for a corresponding result when 119860119905is an

for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Proof Suppose that 119860119905

A definition for the previous kind of fuzzy subset wasgiven for the case of near-rings in [17] Now we give thedefinition for 119873-groups

Definition 28 A fuzzy subset of 119866 is called an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzysubgroup of 119866 if for all 119905 119903 isin (0 1] and for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Conversely let (119909 + 119910)min(119905119903)isin119860 Then 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min(119905119903) If 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then min119860(119909) 119860(119910) lt

Again if 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then by (1)a

Suppose that 119909119905

3 Fuzzy Cosets and Isomorphism Theorem

In this section we first study the properties of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzyideals under a homomorphismThen we introduce the fuzzycosets and prove the fundamental isomorphism theorem on119873-groupswith respect to the structure induced by these fuzzycosets

Theorem 31 Let 119866 and 1198661015840 be two 119873-groups and let 119891 119866 rarr

1198661015840 be an119873-homomorphism If119891 is surjective and119860 is an (120598 120598or

119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then so is119891(119860) If119861 is a (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy idealof 1198661015840 then 119891

minus1(119861) is a fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof We assume that 119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Forany 119909 119910 isin 119866

1015840 it follows that

119891 (119860) (119909 + 119910)

= sup119909+119910=119891(119911)

119860 (119906) sup119891(V)=119910

119860 (V) 05

= min 119891 (119860) (119909) 119891 (119860) (119910) 05

Also

119891 (119860) (minus119909)

= sup119891(119911)=minus119909

119860 (119911) = sup119891(minus119911)=119909

119860 (119911)

= sup119891(119911)=119909

119860 (minus119911)

ge sup119891(119911)=119909

min 119860 (119906) 05

= min sup119891(119911)=119909

119860 (119911) 05

= min 119891 (119860) (119909) 05

Therefore 119891(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Similarly wecan show that 119891minus1(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

left coset of 119866 determined by 119860 and 119909

Remark 33 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 Then119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy normal if and only if min119860(119892 minus

implies that 119860119909

119860119910 Conversely we assume that 119860

119909= 119860119910 Then 119860

Proof Let 119910 + 1199100

Theorem 36 For any (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal 119860 of 119866 119866119860the set

of all fuzzy cosets of 119860 in 119866 is an 119873-group under the additionand scalar multiplication defined by119860

119909+119860119910

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860

Proof First we show that the compositions are well definedLet 119909 119910 119888 119889 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 such that 119860

119909= 119860119910and 119860

119888= 119860119889

Then119860(119909minus119910) ge 05119860(119888minus119889) ge 05 Now we havemin119860(119909+

119909+119888=

119860119910+119889

Again 119860119899119909

(119892) = min119860(119892 minus 119899119909) 05 ge min119860(119892 minus

119899119910) 119860(119899119909 minus 119899119910) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119899119910) 119860[119899(119910 minus 119910 + 119909) minus

119899119910] 05 ge min119860(119892minus119899119910) 119860(minus119910+119909) 05 = 119860119899119910

(119892) Similarlywe show that 119860

119899119910(119892) ge 119860

119899119909(119892) Thus for 119860

119899119910(119892) = 119860

119899119909(119892)

for all 119892 isin 119866 Hence the compositions are well defined It isnow easy to verify that119866

119860is an119873-groupwith null element119860

0

and negative element119860minus119909 Next we check that119860 is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860 Let 119860

119909 119860119910

isin 119866119860 We have

(i) 119860(119860119909minus119860119910) = 119860(119860

(ii) 119860(119860119899119909

) = 119860(119899119909) ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909)

05(iii) 119860(119860

119910+ 119860119909

minus 119860119910) = 119860(119860119910+119909minus119910

) = 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge

min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

(iv) 119860[119899(119860119910+119860119909)minus119899119860

119910] = 119860[119860

119899(119910+119909)minus119899119910] = 119860[119899(119910+119909)minus

119899119910] ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

Hence the proof is completed

Lemma 37 Let 119867 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860119909

ge 1198600 119870 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860

119909=

1198600 Then 119870 = 119867 = 119860

05

Proof Let 119909 isin 119867 Then for all 119892 isin 119866 119860119909(119892) ge 119860

min119860(0) 05 = 05 rArr 119860(119909) ge 05 Also for 119892 isin 1198661198600(119892) = min119860(119892) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909 + 119909) 05 ge

min119860(119892 minus 119909) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909) 05 = 119860119909(119892) rArr

1198600

ge 119860119909 So 119867 = 119870 As we have seen if 119909 isin 119867 then

119860(119909) ge 05 rArr 119909 isin 11986005 Conversely if 119909 isin 119860

05 for any

119892 isin 119866 119860(119892 minus 119909) ge min119860(119892) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892) 05 rArr

ge 1198600 Thus

119867 = 11986005 which means that 119867 is an ideal of 119866

Theorem38 If119860 is an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then themap119891 119866 rarr 119866

119860given by 119891(119909) = 119860

119909is an 119873-homomorphism

with kernel 119891 = 11986005

and so 11986611986005

is isomorphic to 119866119860

Proof It is clear that 119891 is an onto 119873-homomorphism from 119866

to 119866119860with kernel 119891 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119891(119909) = 119891(0) = 119909 isin 119866 |

119860119909

= 1198600 = 119860

Corollary 39 Let119860 be an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 and let 119861be an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866

Theorem 21 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902) fuzzy subgroup of 119866 Then119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 if and only if

Proof It is immediate from Lemma 20

By definition a fuzzy ideal of 119866 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy idealof 119866 But the converse is not true in general as shown by thefollowing example

Example 22 Consider 119866 = S3

= 119894 1205881 1205882 1205911 1205912 1205913 (written

additively) to be a Z-group Define a fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866

as 119860(119894) = 1 119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 119860(120591

2) = 119860(120591

3) = 06

119860(1205911) = 08 which is not fuzzy ideal as 119860[2(120591

1+ 1205912) minus 2120591

2] =

119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 06 lt 119860(120591

1) it contradicts the condition

(iv) of Definition 14 As 119860(119909 minus 119910) 119860(119899119909) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) and119860(119899(119909+119886)minus119899119909) = 06 or 08 ge min05 06 or 08 = 05 thusthe notion of (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal is a successful generalizationof fuzzy ideals of 119866 as introduced in [18]

Theorem 23 Let 119860119894 119894 isin 119869 be any family of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy

Proof It is straightforward

Theorem 24 A nonempty subset 119868 of 119866 is an ideal of 119866 if andonly if 120594

119868is an (isin isin or119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof If 119868 is an ideal of119866 it is clear from [18 Proposition 211]that 120594

119868is fuzzy ideal of 119866 Since every fuzzy ideal is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal 120594119868is (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Conversely let 120594119868be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Let

119899119910 isin 119868 Then 119868 is an ideal of 119866

Theorem 25 A fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy(subgroup) ideal of 119866 if and only if the level subset 119860

We are looking for a corresponding result when 119860119905is an

Proof Suppose that 119860119905

A definition for the previous kind of fuzzy subset wasgiven for the case of near-rings in [17] Now we give thedefinition for 119873-groups

Definition 28 A fuzzy subset of 119866 is called an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzysubgroup of 119866 if for all 119905 119903 isin (0 1] and for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Conversely let (119909 + 119910)min(119905119903)isin119860 Then 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min(119905119903) If 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then min119860(119909) 119860(119910) lt

Again if 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then by (1)a

Suppose that 119909119905

3 Fuzzy Cosets and Isomorphism Theorem

In this section we first study the properties of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzyideals under a homomorphismThen we introduce the fuzzycosets and prove the fundamental isomorphism theorem on119873-groupswith respect to the structure induced by these fuzzycosets

Theorem 31 Let 119866 and 1198661015840 be two 119873-groups and let 119891 119866 rarr

minus1(119861) is a fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof We assume that 119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Forany 119909 119910 isin 119866

Therefore 119891(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Similarly wecan show that 119891minus1(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Remark 33 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 Then119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy normal if and only if min119860(119892 minus

119909) 05 = min119860(minus119909 + 119892) 05 for all 119909 119892 isin 119866 If 119860 is an(120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal we simply denote fuzzy coset by 119860

Lemma 34 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Then119860119909

= 119860119910if an only if 119860(119909 minus 119910) ge 05

Proof Assume that 119860(119909 minus 119910) ge 05 and 119892 isin 119866 119860119909(119892) =

119910) 119860(119909 minus 119910) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119910) 05 = 119860119910(119892) which

implies that 119860119909

ge 119860119910 Similarly we can verify that 119860

119909le

119860119910 Conversely we assume that 119860

119909= 119860119910 Then 119860

119910(119909) =

119860119909(119909) rArr min119860(119909 minus 119910) 05 = 05 rArr 119860(119909 minus 119910) ge 05

Proposition 35 Every fuzzy coset 119860119909is constant on every

coset of 1198660= 119909 isin 119866 | 119860(119909) = 119860(0)

Proof Let 119910 + 1199100

isin 119910 + 1198660 Now we have 119860

119909(119910 + 119910

0) =

119909(119910) Also

119860119909(119910) = min119860(119910minus119909) 05 ge min119860(minus119909+119910+119910

min119860(119910+1199100minus119909) 05 = 119860

119909(119910+1199100)Thus119860

119909(119910+1199100) = 119860

for all 1199100isin 1198660

Theorem 36 For any (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal 119860 of 119866 119866119860the set

of all fuzzy cosets of 119860 in 119866 is an 119873-group under the additionand scalar multiplication defined by119860

119909+119860119910

= 119860119909+119910

119899(119860119909) =

119860119899119909

for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 The function 119860(119860119909) 119866119860

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860

Proof First we show that the compositions are well definedLet 119909 119910 119888 119889 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 such that 119860

119909= 119860119910and 119860

119888= 119860119889

Then119860(119909minus119910) ge 05119860(119888minus119889) ge 05 Now we havemin119860(119909+

119888minus119889minus119910) 05 ge min119860(minus119910+119909+119888minus119889) 05 = 05which impliesthat119860(119909+ 119888minus119889minus119910) ge 05 So by Lemma 34 we have119860

119909+119888=

119860119910+119889

Again 119860119899119909

(119892) = min119860(119892 minus 119899119909) 05 ge min119860(119892 minus

119899119910) 119860(119899119909 minus 119899119910) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119899119910) 119860[119899(119910 minus 119910 + 119909) minus

119899119910] 05 ge min119860(119892minus119899119910) 119860(minus119910+119909) 05 = 119860119899119910

(119892) Similarlywe show that 119860

119899119910(119892) ge 119860

119899119909(119892) Thus for 119860

119899119910(119892) = 119860

119899119909(119892)

for all 119892 isin 119866 Hence the compositions are well defined It isnow easy to verify that119866

119860is an119873-groupwith null element119860

and negative element119860minus119909 Next we check that119860 is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860 Let 119860

119909 119860119910

isin 119866119860 We have

(i) 119860(119860119909minus119860119910) = 119860(119860

119909minus119910) = 119860(119909minus119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910)

(ii) 119860(119860119899119909

) = 119860(119899119909) ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909)

05(iii) 119860(119860

119910+ 119860119909

minus 119860119910) = 119860(119860119910+119909minus119910

) = 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge

min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

(iv) 119860[119899(119860119910+119860119909)minus119899119860

119910] = 119860[119860

119899(119910+119909)minus119899119910] = 119860[119899(119910+119909)minus

119899119910] ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

Hence the proof is completed

Lemma 37 Let 119867 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860119909

ge 1198600 119870 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860

119909=

1198600 Then 119870 = 119867 = 119860

05

Proof Let 119909 isin 119867 Then for all 119892 isin 119866 119860119909(119892) ge 119860

min119860(0) 05 = 05 rArr 119860(119909) ge 05 Also for 119892 isin 1198661198600(119892) = min119860(119892) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909 + 119909) 05 ge

min119860(119892 minus 119909) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909) 05 = 119860119909(119892) rArr

1198600

ge 119860119909 So 119867 = 119870 As we have seen if 119909 isin 119867 then

119860(119909) ge 05 rArr 119909 isin 11986005 Conversely if 119909 isin 119860

05 for any

119892 isin 119866 119860(119892 minus 119909) ge min119860(119892) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892) 05 rArr

119867 = 11986005 which means that 119867 is an ideal of 119866

Theorem38 If119860 is an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then themap119891 119866 rarr 119866

119860given by 119891(119909) = 119860

119909is an 119873-homomorphism

with kernel 119891 = 11986005

and so 11986611986005

is isomorphic to 119866119860

Proof It is clear that 119891 is an onto 119873-homomorphism from 119866

to 119866119860with kernel 119891 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119891(119909) = 119891(0) = 119909 isin 119866 |

119860119909

= 1198600 = 119860

Corollary 39 Let119860 be an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 and let 119861be an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866

Theorem 21 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902) fuzzy subgroup of 119866 Then119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 if and only if

(i) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge min119860(119909) 05 for all 119909 119910 isin 119866

(ii) 119860(119899(119909 + 119886) minus 119899119909) ge min119860(119886) 05 for all 119899 isin 119873119909 119886 isin 119866

Proof It is immediate from Lemma 20

By definition a fuzzy ideal of 119866 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy idealof 119866 But the converse is not true in general as shown by thefollowing example

Example 22 Consider 119866 = S3

= 119894 1205881 1205882 1205911 1205912 1205913 (written

additively) to be a Z-group Define a fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866

as 119860(119894) = 1 119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 119860(120591

2) = 119860(120591

3) = 06

119860(1205911) = 08 which is not fuzzy ideal as 119860[2(120591

1+ 1205912) minus 2120591

2] =

119860(1205881) = 119860(120588

2) = 06 lt 119860(120591

1) it contradicts the condition

(iv) of Definition 14 As 119860(119909 minus 119910) 119860(119899119909) 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) and119860(119899(119909+119886)minus119899119909) = 06 or 08 ge min05 06 or 08 = 05 thusthe notion of (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal is a successful generalizationof fuzzy ideals of 119866 as introduced in [18]

Theorem 23 Let 119860119894 119894 isin 119869 be any family of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy

ideals of 119866 Then 119860 = ⋂119860119894is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof It is straightforward

Theorem 24 A nonempty subset 119868 of 119866 is an ideal of 119866 if andonly if 120594

119868is an (isin isin or119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof If 119868 is an ideal of119866 it is clear from [18 Proposition 211]that 120594

119868is fuzzy ideal of 119866 Since every fuzzy ideal is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal 120594119868is (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Conversely let 120594119868be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Let

119909 119910 isin 119868 120594119868(119909 minus 119910) ge min120594

119868(119909) 120594119868(119910) 05 = 05 So

120594119868(119909 minus 119910) = 1 rArr 119909 minus 119910 isin 119868 Let 119899 isin 119873 119909 isin 119868 120594

We are looking for a corresponding result when 119860119905is an

for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Proof Suppose that 119860119905

A definition for the previous kind of fuzzy subset wasgiven for the case of near-rings in [17] Now we give thedefinition for 119873-groups

Definition 28 A fuzzy subset of 119866 is called an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzysubgroup of 119866 if for all 119905 119903 isin (0 1] and for all 119909 119910 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873

Conversely let (119909 + 119910)min(119905119903)isin119860 Then 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min(119905119903) If 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then min119860(119909) 119860(119910) lt

Again if 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then by (1)a

Suppose that 119909119905

3 Fuzzy Cosets and Isomorphism Theorem

In this section we first study the properties of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzyideals under a homomorphismThen we introduce the fuzzycosets and prove the fundamental isomorphism theorem on119873-groupswith respect to the structure induced by these fuzzycosets

minus1(119861) is a fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof We assume that 119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Forany 119909 119910 isin 119866

1015840 it follows that

Therefore 119891(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Similarly wecan show that 119891minus1(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Remark 33 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 Then119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy normal if and only if min119860(119892 minus

implies that 119860119909

119860119910 Conversely we assume that 119860

coset of 1198660= 119909 isin 119866 | 119860(119909) = 119860(0)

Proof Let 119910 + 1199100

Theorem 36 For any (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal 119860 of 119866 119866119860the set

of all fuzzy cosets of 119860 in 119866 is an 119873-group under the additionand scalar multiplication defined by119860

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860

Proof First we show that the compositions are well definedLet 119909 119910 119888 119889 isin 119866 119899 isin 119873 such that 119860

119909= 119860119910and 119860

119888= 119860119889

Then119860(119909minus119910) ge 05119860(119888minus119889) ge 05 Now we havemin119860(119909+

119909+119888=

119860119910+119889

Again 119860119899119909

(119892) = min119860(119892 minus 119899119909) 05 ge min119860(119892 minus

119899119910) 119860(119899119909 minus 119899119910) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119899119910) 119860[119899(119910 minus 119910 + 119909) minus

119899119910] 05 ge min119860(119892minus119899119910) 119860(minus119910+119909) 05 = 119860119899119910

(119892) Similarlywe show that 119860

119899119910(119892) ge 119860

119899119909(119892) Thus for 119860

119899119910(119892) = 119860

119899119909(119892)

for all 119892 isin 119866 Hence the compositions are well defined It isnow easy to verify that119866

119860is an119873-groupwith null element119860

and negative element119860minus119909 Next we check that119860 is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860 Let 119860

119909 119860119910

isin 119866119860 We have

(i) 119860(119860119909minus119860119910) = 119860(119860

(ii) 119860(119860119899119909

) = 119860(119899119909) ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909)

05(iii) 119860(119860

119910+ 119860119909

minus 119860119910) = 119860(119860119910+119909minus119910

) = 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge

min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

(iv) 119860[119899(119860119910+119860119909)minus119899119860

119910] = 119860[119860

119899(119910+119909)minus119899119910] = 119860[119899(119910+119909)minus

119899119910] ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

Hence the proof is completed

Lemma 37 Let 119867 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860119909

ge 1198600 119870 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119860

119909=

1198600 Then 119870 = 119867 = 119860

05

Proof Let 119909 isin 119867 Then for all 119892 isin 119866 119860119909(119892) ge 119860

min119860(0) 05 = 05 rArr 119860(119909) ge 05 Also for 119892 isin 1198661198600(119892) = min119860(119892) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909 + 119909) 05 ge

min119860(119892 minus 119909) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909) 05 = 119860119909(119892) rArr

1198600

ge 119860119909 So 119867 = 119870 As we have seen if 119909 isin 119867 then

119860(119909) ge 05 rArr 119909 isin 11986005 Conversely if 119909 isin 119860

05 for any

119892 isin 119866 119860(119892 minus 119909) ge min119860(119892) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892) 05 rArr

ge 1198600 Thus

119867 = 11986005 which means that 119867 is an ideal of 119866

Theorem38 If119860 is an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then themap119891 119866 rarr 119866

119860given by 119891(119909) = 119860

119909is an 119873-homomorphism

with kernel 119891 = 11986005

and so 11986611986005

is isomorphic to 119866119860

Proof It is clear that 119891 is an onto 119873-homomorphism from 119866

to 119866119860with kernel 119891 = 119909 isin 119866 | 119891(119909) = 119891(0) = 119909 isin 119866 |

119905isinV119902119860 or 119910

Conversely let (119909 + 119910)min(119905119903)isin119860 Then 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min(119905119903) If 119860(119909 + 119910) ge min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then min119860(119909) 119860(119910) lt

min(119905 119903) Hence either 119860(119909) lt 119905 or 119860(119910) lt 119903 which implies119909119905isin119860 or 119910

Again if 119860(119909 + 119910) lt min119860(119909) 119860(119910) then by (1)a

05 ge min 119860 (119909) 119860 (119910) gt 119860 (119909 + 119910) (4)

Suppose that 119909119905

which means that 119905 le 05 a contradictionConversely suppose that (119909)

Similarly we can prove the remaining parts

Theorem 30 A fuzzy subset 119860 of 119866 is an (120598 120598V119902)-fuzzy idealif and only if 119860

3 Fuzzy Cosets and Isomorphism Theorem

In this section we first study the properties of (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzyideals under a homomorphismThen we introduce the fuzzycosets and prove the fundamental isomorphism theorem on119873-groupswith respect to the structure induced by these fuzzycosets

Theorem 31 Let 119866 and 1198661015840 be two 119873-groups and let 119891 119866 rarr

1198661015840 be an119873-homomorphism If119891 is surjective and119860 is an (120598 120598or

119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then so is119891(119860) If119861 is a (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy idealof 1198661015840 then 119891

minus1(119861) is a fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof We assume that 119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Forany 119909 119910 isin 119866

1015840 it follows that

119891 (119860) (119909 + 119910)

= sup119909+119910=119891(119911)

= min 119891 (119860) (119909) 119891 (119860) (119910) 05

Also

= sup119891(119911)=minus119909

119860 (119911) = sup119891(minus119911)=119909

119860 (119911) 05

= min 119891 (119860) (119909) 05

Again

119891 (119860) (119899119909)

= sup119891(119911)=119899119909

= min sup119891(119906)=119909

119860 (119906) 05

= min 119891 (119860) (119909) 05

119891 (119860) (119910 + 119909 minus 119910)

= sup119891(119911)=119910+119909minus119910

119860 (119911)

ge sup119891(V)=119909119891(119906)=119910

119860 (119906 + V minus 119906)

6 Algebra

ge sup119891(V)=119909

min 119860 (V) 05

= min sup119891(V)=119909

119860 (V) 05

= min 119891 (119860) (119909) 05

119891 (119860) (119899 (119910 + 119909) minus 119899119910)

= sup119891(119911)=119899(119910+119909)minus119899119910

ge sup119891(V)=119909119891(119906)=119910

min 119860 (119906) 05

= min 119891 (119860) (119909) 05

(7)

Therefore 119891(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Similarly wecan show that 119891minus1(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Remark 33 Let 119860 be an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy subgroup of 119866 Then119860 is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy normal if and only if min119860(119892 minus

implies that 119860119909

119860119910 Conversely we assume that 119860

119909= 119860119910 Then 119860

coset of 1198660= 119909 isin 119866 | 119860(119909) = 119860(0)

Proof Let 119910 + 1199100

Therefore 119891(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866 Similarly wecan show that 119891minus1(119860) is an (120598 120598 or 119902)-fuzzy ideal of 119866

Proof Let 119910 + 1199100

119909+119888=

119860119910+119889

Again 119860119899119909

(119892) = min119860(119892 minus 119899119909) 05 ge min119860(119892 minus

119899119910) 119860(119899119909 minus 119899119910) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119899119910) 119860[119899(119910 minus 119910 + 119909) minus

(119892) Similarlywe show that 119860

119899119910(119892) ge 119860

119899119909(119892) Thus for 119860

119899119910(119892) = 119860

119899119909(119892)

for all 119892 isin 119866 Hence the compositions are well defined It isnow easy to verify that119866

119860is an119873-groupwith null element119860

and negative element119860minus119909 Next we check that119860 is (120598 120598 or 119902)-

fuzzy ideal of 119866119860 Let 119860

05(iii) 119860(119860

minus 119860119910) = 119860(119860119910+119909minus119910

) = 119860(119910 + 119909 minus 119910) ge

min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

(iv) 119860[119899(119860119910+119860119909)minus119899119860

119910] = 119860[119860

119899(119910+119909)minus119899119910] = 119860[119899(119910+119909)minus

119899119910] ge min119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119860119909) 05

Hence the proof is completed

min119860(0) 05 = 05 rArr 119860(119909) ge 05 Also for 119892 isin 1198661198600(119892) = min119860(119892) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909 + 119909) 05 ge

min119860(119892 minus 119909) 119860(119909) 05 = min119860(119892 minus 119909) 05 = 119860119909(119892) rArr

1198600

ge 119860119909 So 119867 = 119870 As we have seen if 119909 isin 119867 then

119860(119909) ge 05 rArr 119909 isin 11986005 Conversely if 119909 isin 119860

ge 1198600 Thus

119867 = 11986005 which means that 119867 is an ideal of 119866

Theorem38 If119860 is an (120598 120598or119902)-fuzzy ideal of119866 then themap119891 119866 rarr 119866
