Left and right compatibility of strict orders with fuzzy tolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations
The notion of extensionality of a fuzzy relation w.r.t. a fuzzy equivalence was first introduced by Hohle and Blanchard. Belohlavek introduced a similar definition of compatibility of a fuzzy relation w.r.t. a fuzzy equality. In [14] we generalized this notion to left compatibility, right compatibility and compatibility of arbitrary fuzzy relations and we characterized them in terms of left and right traces introduced by Fodor. In this note, we will again investigate these notions, but this time we focus on the compatibility of strict orders with fuzzy tolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations
Quantale Modules and their Operators, with Applications
The central topic of this work is the categories of modules over unital
quantales. The main categorical properties are established and a special class
of operators, called Q-module transforms, is defined. Such operators - that
turn out to be precisely the homomorphisms between free objects in those
categories - find concrete applications in two different branches of image
processing, namely fuzzy image compression and mathematical morphology
