Reinterpreting a fuzzy subset by means of a Sincov's functional equation

Abstract: Throughout the paper it is shown that the classical definition of a fuzzy subset carries additional structures. The concept of a fuzzy subset is regarded from an alternative point of view: namely, the characteristic function of a fuzzy subset may be reinterpreted in terms of a Sincov's functional equation in two variables. Since the solutions of a Sincov's functional equation are also closely related to the existence of representable total preorders, an special attention is paid to the relationship between fuz… Show more

“…Thus, the concept of a fuzzy set can actually be regarded from various alternative points of view, as functional equations (see [6,5]), nested families of sets and nested topologies (see [1,7,20]) or representable total preorders (see [12,6]) among others. In addition, in [8] the concept of a weightable quasi-metric was shown to be closely related to some classical functional equations, of which some were also intimately linked to the denition of a fuzzy set of a universe as proved in [6,5]. However, to complete the panorama, a direct link between the denition of a fuzzy set of a universe and the possibility of endowing that universe with a suitable weightable quasi-metric had not been explored yet.…”

“…Thus, in particular 0 ∈ F(A, A) for all A ⊆ X. For some more recent investigations, see [4,33,38,27,34,35,7,8,3,14,13]. The most relevant ones are the set-valued considerations of Smajdor [38] and Augustová and Klapka [3].…”

“…Let F : X × X → R be a real-valued bivariate function defined on X. The function F satisfies the Sincov functional equation if F (x, y) + F (y, z) = F (x, z) holds for every x, y, z ∈ X (see [4,10]).…”
