This paper addresses the properties and structures of EI algebra and EI n algebra in the framework of Liu [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 95 (1998) 179]. The main contribution of the paper is that the expressions of both Ã-irreducible elements (or^-irreducible elements) in molecular lattice ðEM; PÞ, and ðEX 1 Á Á Á X n M; PÞ are developed, and that the standard minimal family of elements in molecular lattice ðEM; PÞ and ðEX 1 Á Á Á X n M; PÞ is formulated. It is proved that neither molecular lattice ðEM; PÞ nor molecular lattice ðEX 1 Á Á Á X n M; PÞ is a fuzzy lattice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
