Introduction The concepts of preideals and generalized ideals were introduced by Ramadan et al. 1, as a consistent approach to the ideas of fuzzy mathematics. The authors investigated the interrelations between these two concepts. This paper is devoted to finding fuzzifying topologies derived from preideals, and vise versa, by means of fuzzy preorders and residual implications. The contents of this paper are arranged as follows. In Section 2, we recall some basic notions of ideals, preideals, and generalized ideals. The notion of saturation of preideals is introduced, hence, a one-to-one correspondence between the set of saturated preideals and the set of generalized ideals on the same set is obtained. In fact, some studies were done on the correspondence of such two sets, see 2, 3, for example, based on the duality between fuzzy filters and fuzzy ideals. In our paper, we prove such correspondence independent of the duality principle. Also, given X a Boolean lattice, we construct a generalized ideal, in terms of fuzzy preorders. Section 3 is concerned with the relationship between the fuzzy preorders and each of I-topologies 4, fuzzifying topologies 5, andi-fuzzy topologies 6, respectively. Thus, an interesting relation between a special type of I-topological spaces,

2 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences called fuzzy neighborhood spaces, introduced by Lowen 7, and fuzzifying topological spaces is established. In Section 4, we introduce the notion of σ-generalized ideal, therefore, a characterization of this special kind of ideals is shown to be a fuzzifying topology generated by some fuzzy preorder. Also, we study the relations between preideals and generalized topological structures, for example, I-topologies, fuzzifying topologies, and I- fuzzy topologies. Also, I-topologies are constructed from preideals via given I-topologies. 2. Generalized Ideal Structures We recall some basic definitions. We should let X, I denote a nonempty set and the closed unit interval 0, 1, respectively, and we let I 0 0, 1, I 1 0, 1. We denote the characteristic function of a subset A X also by A.Ifμ 1 X, we define μ α x X : μx >α. Let2 X be the collection of all subsets of X. The fuzzy set which assigns to each element in X the value α, 0 α 1, is also denoted by α. In this paper, the concepts of triangular norm and residual implication are applied. A triangular norm, at-norm in short, on the unit interval I is a binary operator : I I I which is symmetric, associative, order-preserving on each place and has 1 as the unit element. A fuzzy relation on a nonempty set is a map R : X X I. A fuzzy relation R is called 1 reflexive if Rx, x 1for each x X; 2 -transitive if Rx, y Ry, z Rx, z for all x, y, z X. A reflexive and -transitive fuzzy relation is called -fuzzy preorder. If is assumed to be the t-norm min, we will drop the -. This section presents a review of some fundamental notions of ideals, preideals, and generalized ideals. We refer to Ramadan et al. 1 for details. Definition 2.1. A nonempty subset D of 2 X is an ideal of subsets of X, simply, an ideal on X, if it satisfies the following conditions: D1 X / D; D2 A, B D A B D; D3 A D, B A B D. Definition 2.2. A nonempty subset D of I X is a preideal of subsets of X, simply, a preideal on X, if it satisfies the following conditions: P1 1 / D; P2 μ, ν D μ ν D; P3 ν D,μ ν μ D. ApreidaelD is called prime if it satisfies the condition; μ, λ I X such that μ ν D, then μ Dor ν D. 2.1 ApreidealD is called a σ-preideal if the following hold.

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 3 If μ n : n 1, 2, 3,... is a countable subcollection of D, then sup n μ n D. If D is a preideal on X, we define the characteristic, denoted by cd,ofd by cd sup inf μx. μ D x X 2.2 If D is a preideal and cd < 1, we say that D is saturated if for every μ ε D I 1, inf ε I1 μ ε ε D, equivalently, D is saturated if it satisfies ε <1, μ I X : μ ε D μ D. 2.3 We provide a useful characterization of a saturated preideal D in the following lemma. Lemma 2.3. Let D be a saturated preideal on X, μ I X.Then μ D μ α γ D, c <γ<αin I 1. 2.4 Proof. Let μ D. Since μ α γ μ for all γ<α I 1, then, by P3, μ α γ Dfor all γ<α I 1. Conversely, let μ I X such that μ α γ Dfor all c<γ<αin I 1. For every α 0, 1/2 and 0 <ninteger < 1/α, we consider the fuzzy subsets μ 2α sup n μ nα nα α. Since n is finite, then, by P2, μ 2α D. Also, it is easy to see that, for all x X,0 μx μ 2α x 2α, hence μ 2α μ 2α 2α μ. Consequently, μ 0<α<1/2 μ 2α 2α D,sinceD is saturated, so we are done. It should be noticed that the required condition of Lemma 2.3 holds, trivially, for all μ Dand γ c, therefore, we provide γ>c, so that the above condition is significant. Also, the characteristic of a preideal D,onasubsetA of X may be defined and denoted by c A D sup λ D inf x A λx. The following result is useful for our study. Lemma 2.4. Let D on X. Then, for every A 2 X, c A D supt I : A t D, 2.5 hence, c c X D supt I : t D. Proof. The statement holds when A φ. Suppose A / φ, and denote c c A D and b supt I : A t D.Lett I satisfy A t D. Then c inf x A A tx t, thatis,c b. Conversely, given λ D,letγ inf x A λx, hence A γ λ. This implies, by P3, A γ D, so b γ. Thus, by definition of c,wegetb c, this shows that the equality holds.

4 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Definition 2.5. A nonzero function d :2 X I is called a generalized ideal of fuzzy subsets of X, simply, a generalized ideal on X, if it satisfies the following conditions: G1 dx 0; G2 da db da B, for each A, B 2 X ; G3 if A B, then da db, for each A, B 2 X ; The conditions G2 and G3 are equivalent to: G da db da B, for each A, B 2 X. Moreover, Since d a nonzero function, then by G3, dφ > 0. A generalized ideal d, is called σ-generalized ideal if ) d A i da i, for each A i i J I X, 2.6 i J i J and d is called prime if da B da db, for each A, B 2 X. 2.7 A generalized ideal on a set X can be derived by fuzzy relations in different ways, as we see in the following. Proposition 2.6. Let R be a reflexive fuzzy relation on a Boolean lattice X with 0. Define d 1,d 2 : I X I, for all A X as follows: d 1 A x,y A 1 R x, 1 y )) ; where 1 y is the complement y, 2.8 d 2 A x A 1 Rx, 0. 2.9 Then d 1,d 2 are generalized ideal on X. Proof. Straightforward. Now, we will construct different types of preideals derived from a generalized ideals. Proposition 2.7. Let d be a generalized ideal on X. Define D 1, D 2 I X by D 1 μ I X : A 2 X,dA 1 sup μx ; 2.10 D 2 μ I X : α I 1,d μ α) α. 2.11 Then both D 1, D 2 are saturated preideals on X.

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 5 Proof. First, we show that D 1 apreidealonx: P1 1 / D 1, otherwise for all A 2 X,dA 1 sup 1x 0, that is, da 0, which is a contradiction, since d is a nonzero function; P2 let μ, λ D 1. Then for all A 2 X : ) ) 1 sup μ λ x 1 sup μx 1 sup λx ) da da da, 2.12 hence μ λ D 1. P3 Let μ, λ I X such that μ D 1 and λ μ. Then for all A 2 X, 1 sup λx 1 sup μx da, hence λ D 1. 2.13 Let μ θ θ I0 be a family of fuzzy sets in D 1. Then for all A 2 X, 1 sup inf μθ θ )) x 1 sup 1 inf sup sup sup sup inf μθ x θ ) ) μθ x θ ) 1 sup μθ x θ )) )) 1 sup μ θ x θ ) ) 1 supμ θ x θ 2.14 sup da θ da, therefore, inf θ I0 μ θ θ D 1, hence D 1 is saturated. Second, we prove that D 2 is saturated preideal on X: P1 1 / D 2, otherwise d1 α dx 0/ α, for all α I 1 ; P2, P3 direct. Let μ θ θ I0 be a family of fuzzy sets in D 2. Then d inf μθ θ ) ) α ) d μθ θ ) ) α ) α θ sup d μ θ, by G3 ) sup α θ α. 2.15 Hence D 2 is saturated preideal.

Define D 3, D 4 I X by D 3 μ I X : α I 1,d 1 μ ) α) α ; D 4 μ I X : A 2 X ),da sup 1 μ x. 2.16 Then D 3, D 4 are prime saturated preideals on X. Moreover D 3 D 4. Proof. First, we show that D 3 D 4.Letμ I X such that d1 μ α α, for all α I 1.If A 2 X, we assume that sup 1 μx γ I 1, hence 1 μ γ A. Then, by G3, da d1 μ γ γ sup 1 μx, that implies D 3 D 4. Conversely, let μ I X such that da sup 1 μx, for all A 2 X. Then d1 μ α sup x / 1 μ α1 μx α, for all α I 1 this implies D 4 D 3,thusD 3 D 4. Second, we show that D 3 is a saturated prime preideal. P1 Suppose that 1 D 3.Letdφ γ>0. Then, for all α<γ,d0 α dφ γ>α, which is a contradiction, so 1 / D 3. P2 Let μ, λ D 3. Then for all α I 1, d1 μ λ α d1 μ α 1 λ α d1 μ α d1 λ α α, sinced is prime. This implies μ λ D 3. P3 Let μ, λ I X such that μ D 3 and λ μ. Then d1 λ α d1 μ α α, by G3, hence λ D 3. Now, we will show that D 4 is saturated. Suppose for all ε>0, μ ε D 3. Then for all A 2 X, da sup 1 μ εx sup 1 μxε, hence da sup 1 μx, that is, D 4 is saturated. Finally, we show that D 3 is prime. Let μ, λ I X such that μ λ D 3. Then for all α I 1,d1 μ α d1 λ α d1 μ α 1 λ α d1 μ α λ α d1 μ λ α α, hence, d1 μ α α or d1 λ α α, that implies μ D 3 or λ D 3. Proposition 2.9. Let D be a preideal on X. Define d :2 X I by A 2 X, da supt I : t>c, A t D. 2.17 Then d is a generalized ideal on X. Proof. G1 dx 0, since t Dimplies t c. G2 Let A, B 2 X and α, β I, α > c, β > c such that A α D,B β D. Then, by P2, A α B β D.Letγ minα, β. Then, by P3,wegetA B γ A γ B γ D,andγ α β>c.thussupt : t>c, A B t D γ α β, hence supt : t>c, A B t D supt : t>c, A t D supt : t>c, B t D,so da B da db. Now we come to the main result of this section. Theorem 2.10. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the set saturated preideals on a nonempty set X and the set of generalized ideals on X.

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 7 Proof. Let d be a generalized ideal on X. Denote the preideal D 2 generated by d, defined as in Proposition 2.7, by D d, and denote the generalized ideal, generated by D d, as in Proposition 2.9, byd Dd, hence for all A 2 X d Dd A supt I 1 : t>c, A t D d, Proposition 2.9 sup t I 1 : t>c, d A t α) α, α I 1, 2.11 in Proposition 2.7 supt I 1 : t>c, da α, α <t, supt I 1 : t>c, da t da. since d φ ) da, A X 2.18 Conversely, let D be a saturated preideal on X. Denote the generalized ideal generated by D, asinproposition 2.9, byd D, and denote the preideal generated by d D,asin2.11 in Proposition 2.7 by D dd. Then, D dd λ I X : d D λ α α, α I 1 λ I X :supt I 1,t>c,λ α t D α, α I 1 λ I X : λ α t D, c <t<α λ I X : λ D, by Lemma 2.3 2.19 D. This completes the proof. Definition 2.11. A nonzero function d : I X I is called a fuzzy I-ideal on X if it satisfies the following conditions: d1 d1 0; d2 dλ μ dλ dμ,forλ, μ I X ; d3 if λ μ, then dμ dλ. Clearly, a generalized ideal d on a set X can be regarded as a fuzzy I-ideal whose domain is 2 X.Precisely,dA da for each A X; otherwise da 0. Remark 2.12 Fang and Chen 8. Defined a generalized fuzzy preorder R φ, corresponding to a map φ : I X I as follows: x, y ) X X, R φ x, y ) μ I X φ μ ) μx μ y )), 2.20 hence, for a fuzzy I-ideal d on X, there corresponds a fuzzy preorder R d defined by x, y ) X X, R d x, y ) μ I X d μ ) μx μ y )). 2.21

A X x,y A A 2.22 3. Connecting Fuzzy Preorders and I-fuzzy Topologies In this section, we recall some basic results about the connection between fuzzy preorders and each of I-topologies, fuzzifying topologies, and I-fuzzy topologies. Also, the relations among these different types of topologies are investigated. An I-topology on a set X is a crisp subset T of I X which is closed with respect to finite meets and arbitrary joins and which contains all the constant functions from X to I. Ifthe constants are 0, 1 only, we will call it a Chang I-topology. Another more consistent approach to the fuzziness has been developed. According to Shostak 6, ani-fuzzy topology on a set X is a map I : I X I, satisfying the following conditions: 1 Iα 1for all constant functions α : X I; 2 Iμ λ Iμ Iλ, for all μ, λ I X ; 3 I j J μ i j J Iμ j, j J, μ j I X. By the conditions 1 and 2,wegetforμ I X and α I 0, Iμ α Iμ.AnI-fuzzy topology on a set X is called trivial, ifiλ 1, for all λ I X, and is called homogeneous if the following condition holds: for μ I X and α I, Iμ α Iμ. If a map τ :2 X I satisfies the similar conditions of I-fuzzy topology on a set X, then τ is called a fuzzifying topology Ying 9. Furthermore, if a fuzzifying topology τ satisfies the following condition: 4 for all A j j J 2 X,τ j J A j j J τa j, then τ is called a saturated fuzzifying topology. For a given left-continuous t-norm : I I I, the corresponding residual implication : I I I is given by x y supz I : x z y. Many properties of residual implications are found in litrature, but we will recall some of them, which will be used in this paper: I1 x y 1 if and only if x y; I2 1 x x; I3 x y y z x z; I4 x j J y j j J x y j, hence, x y x z if y z; I5 j J y j y j J y j y, hence x z y z if x y; I6 x j J y j j J x y j ; I7 x y z y x z; I8 x y u v x u y v; I9 x x y y; I10 x y λ I λ x λ y;

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 9 I11 x y λ I y λ x λ; I12 x y z w x z y w. Clearly, by I1 and I3, the residual implication with respect to a t-norm is a fuzzy preorder on I and called the canonical fuzzy preorder on I. The relationships between fuzzy preorders and I-topologies, fuzzifying topologies, and I-fuzzy topologies, respectively, have been investigated by many authors. For example, we recall the main results of Lai and Zhang 10, Fang and Chen 8, and Fang 11. Theorem 3.1 Lai and Zhang 10. For a fuzzy preorder R on a set X, the family T R μ I X : Rx, y μx μy, for all x, y X, isani-alexandrov topology induced by R, that is, T R satisfies the folowing properties: for all F T R,μ T R, and α I, a every constant fuzzy set X I belongs to T R ; b F T R ; c F T R ; d α μ T R ; e α μ T R. Moreover, R satisfies the equality R x, y ) μx y ). μ TR 3.1 Conversely, for a given I-Alexandrov topology T a set X, there is a unique -fuzzy preorder R T,given by R T x, y μ T μx μy, such that T T RT. Thus, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of I-Alexandrov topologies on a set X and -fuzzy preorders. Theorem 3.2 Fang and Chen 8. Every fuzzy preorder R on a set X corresponds a saturated fuzzifying topology τ R on X, given by for all A X, τ R A x,y A A 1 R x, y )), 3.2 conversely, every fuzzifying topology τ on a set X corresponds a fuzzy preorder R τ, given by: for all x, y X, R τ x, y ) 1 τa. x,y A A 3.3 Thus, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of saturated fuzzifying topologies on a set X and the set of fuzzy preorders on X. By the above two theorems, one can dedeuce, at once, the following corollary. Corollary 3.3. The set of saturated fuzzifying toplogies on a set X and the set of I-Alexandrov topologies on X are in one-to-one correspondence.

10 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences A special type of I-topological spaces, called fuzzy neighborhood spaces, was introduced by Lowen 7. The interrelations between these spaces and the fuzzifying toplogical spaces are interesting to study. Although a study of fuzzifying topological spaces and their relation with fuzzy neighborhood spaces has been investigated, sestematically, see, for example, 12, we give, in this section, alternative methods. We recall the folowing definition. Definition 3.4 Wuyts et al. 13. AnI-topological space X, τ is called a fuzzy neighborhood space if whenever μ T, for any α I 1 also α μ α T. Equivalently, if whenever μ T, for any α, t I 1, t<αalso μ α t T. Proposition 3.5. Let τ be a fuzzifying topology on a set X. Thenτ corresponds an I-topology T τ on X, defined by T τ μ I X : τμ α α, for all α I 1, and X, T τ is a fuzzy neighborhood space. Conversely, let T be an I-topology on X. Thenτ corresponds a fuzzifying topology τ T,onX, defined by: for all A X, τ T A supα I : A α T. Moreover, 1 τ Tτ τ, 2 T τt Tand if X, T is a fuzzy neighborhood space, then T τt T. Proof. That is, T τ and τ T are I-topology and fuzzifying topology on X, respectively, and are easy to be verified. To prove that X, T τ is a fuzzy neighborhood space, we suppose α, t I and μ T τ, then μ τ t t ) ) τ φ ) 1, if α t, α τ μ t) t, if t>α. 3.4 Therefore, τμ t t α α, for all α I 1,thatis,μ t t T τ, for all t I 1, so we are done. To prove 1,letτ be a fuzzifying topology on X then for all X, τ Tτ A supα I : A α T τ sup α I : τ A α t) t, t I 1 supα I : τa t, t <α, since τ φ ) 1 3.5 τa. To prove 2, suppose that X, T is a fuzzy neighborhood space. Then T τt μ I X : τ T μ α ) α, α I 1 μ I X :sup t I : μ α t T α, α I 1 μ I X : μ α t T, t <α, α I 1 T, μ I X : μ T T, if T is a fuzzy neighborhood structure. 3.6

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 11 Therefore, as a direct result of Proposition 3.5, we have the following. Theorem 3.6. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of fuzzifying topologies and the set of fuzzy neighborhood structures on the same set. Definition 3.7. Given X, I, ani-fuzzy topological space, and α I 0, then I α : μ I X : Iμ α is an I-topology on X, called the α-level I-topology of I. Consequently, T I : I 1 μ I X : Iμ 1, by which we will give an interrelation between I-topologies and I-fuzzy topologies. Proposition 3.8. Let T be an I-topology on X. Then for all μ I X, I T μ : supα I 1 : μ α T is a homogeneous I-fuzzy topology on X. Proof. That is, I T an I-fuzzy topology is easy to be verified. Now, let μ I X,α I, then we get ) I T μ α : sup t I1 : μ α t T sup t I 1 : t α, μ α t T sup t I 1 : μ t T 3.7 I T μ ). Since I T is an I-fuzzy topology, then I T μ α Iμ, so the equality holds. Theorem 3.9. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of I-topologies on a set X and the set of homogeneous I-fuzzy topologies on X. Proof. Let T be an I-topology on X, then I T is a homogeneous I-fuzzy topology on X, by Proposition 3.8, and ) T IT μ μ I X ) : I τ μ 1 μ I X :sup t I 1 : μ t T 1 μ I X : μ t T, t < 1 T. 3.8 and Conversely, if I is a homogeneous I-fuzzy topologies on X, then T I is an I-topology ) I TI μ sup t I1 : μ t T I sup t I 1 : I μ t ) 1 3.9 1, since I μ ) I μ t ). So, we are done.

12 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 4. Connecting I-fuzzy Topologies and Preideals In this section, we associate for each a fuzzifying topology, a generalized ideal. Also, we construct a preideal corresponding to an I-topology, by means of the residuated implication. Conversely, an I-topology, a fuzzifying topology, and I-fuzzy topology are derived by old ones via preideals. We made use of the results of Section 2, beside the useful following lemma. Lemma 4.1. Let Ω I X. Define R Ω,R Ω : X X I by for all x, y X X, ) R Ω x, y inf μx μ y ) : μ I X,μ Ω, R ) Ω x, y inf μ y ) μx : μ I X, 1 μ Ω. 4.1 Then R Ω,R Ω are fuzzy preorders on X, especially, if min, then for all x, y X X, ) ) ) R Ω x, y inf μ y : μ Ω, μx >μ y, ) ) 4.2 x, y inf μx :1 μ Ω, μx <μ y. R Ω Proposition 4.2. Let T be an I-topology on a set X, and D be a preideal on X. Define T D I X, by μ T D if and only if μ supλ T: λ 1 μ D.ThenT D is Chang I-topology on X. Proof. Direct. However T D will be called the I-fuzzy preideal topology. As a special case. Example 4.3. If min,andt α I : α constans, then T D μ I X : μ supα I : α 1 μ D. Consequently, T D has the following property: for all μ I X such that 1 μ D, then μ T D. Proposition 4.4. Let D be a preideal on a set X. Define I : I X I by for all μ I X, Iμ x X μx supα I : α 1 μx D.ThenI is a Chang I-fuzzy topology on X. Proof. Clearly, I1 I0 1, by I1. Letμ, λ I X. Then Iμ λ Iμ Iλ, byp2 and I12. Letμ i i J I X. Then I i J μ i i J Iμ i,byi5 and P3, so we are done. The I-fuzzy topology I, given in the above proposition, is called the I-fuzzy topology associated with a preideal and denoted by I D. It is easy to see that I D satisfy the following simple properties: 1 for all A X, I D A 1; 2 for all μ I X and x X such that 1 μx D, then I D μ 1; 3 restricting the range of I on 0, 1, achangi-topology, associated with a preideal D, is obtained, namely, I D μ I X : μx sup α I : α 1 μx ) D, x X. 4.3

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 13 Proposition 4.5. Let T be an I-topology on a Boolean lattice X with 0. Let D I X, defined as D μ I X : sup x μ α inf λ T λx λ0 1 α, for all α I 1.ThenD is a saturated preideal on X and D μ I X : d RT μ α α, for all α I 1,whered RT is the generalized ideal corresponding to R T. Proof. Let T be an I-topology on X. Then R T is a fuzzy preorder, by Theorem 3.1, hence d RT is a generalized ideal, by 2.9 in Proposition 2.6.Thus,D μ I X : d RT μ α α is a saturated preideal by 2.11 in Proposition 2.7. Secondly, we prove the equality of the two forms of D as follows: D μ I X : d RT μ α ) α μ I X : 1 R x μ Tx, 0 α, α I α 1, by 2.9 in Proposition 2.6 μ I X : R x μ Tx, 0 1 α, α I α 1 μ I X : x / μ α λx λ0 1 α, α I 1, by Theorem 3.1, λ T 4.4 which completes the proof. As a direct consequence of Lemma 4.1 and Theorem 3.1, we may construct an I- topology from a preideal, as follows. Proposition 4.6. Let D I X be a preideal. Define T D by T D λ I X : μx μ y ) ) λx λ y ). μ D 4.5 Then T D is an I-Alexandrov topology on X, containing D. Proposition 4.7. Let I be a nontrivial I-fuzzy topology on a set X. Define D : μ I X : Iλ 1, for all λ μ, thend is a preideal on X. Proof. Straightforward. Proposition 4.8. Let D be a preideal on a set X. Define T I X by T λ I X : λ μ α, μ D, α I. ThenT is an I-topology if D is σ-preideal. Proof. Since 0 D, then T contains all the constants fuzzy subsets on X. Secondly, if λ 1,λ 2 T, then there exist μ 1,μ 2 Dand α 1,α 2 I such that λ 1 μ 1 α 1 and λ 2 μ 2 α 2, then λ 1 λ 2 μ 1 μ 2 μ 1 α 2 μ 2 α 1 α 1 α 2.ByP3 and P2,wegetμ 1 μ 2 μ 1 α 2 μ 2 α 1 D, hence λ 1 λ 2 T. Let λ i i J T, then for all i J, there exists μ i D, α i I such that λ i μ i α i. Therefore, we get i J λ i i J μ i i J α i T,sinceD is a σ-preideal.

It is a direct composition of the two maps defined by Proposition 2.6 and Theorem 3.2. Conversely, follows from Remark 2.12 and Theorem 3.2. Proposition 4.10. Let d be a σ-generalized ideal on a set X. Define R d : X X I by for all x, y X X, R d x, y x,y B B 1 db. Then, R d is a fuzzy preorder and for all A X, τ Rd A da. Proof. That R d is a fuzzy preorder follows from Remark 2.12, hence according to Theorem 3.2, for all A X, τ Rd A )) 1 Rd x, y x,y A A x,y A A x,y A A ) 1 db 0, by Remark 2.12 x,y B B ) x,y B B 1 db 0 4.7 1 da 0 1 1 da da. Secondly, we have to show that for any A X, τ Rd A da. Let t I 1 such that τ Rd A >t. Then for any x A, y A, there exists N y x X such that x N y x, y/ N y x, anddn y x >t.letn y x A N y x, then y / N y,a N y, and dn y d x A N y x x A dn y x t, sinced is σ-generelized ideal. Obviously, A y / A N y. So we would get da d y / A N y y / A dn y t, byg3. ThusdA τ Rd, which completes the proof. Example 4.11. 1 Let D μ I X : μ 1/2, and min, then 1, x y, x y y, x > y. 4.8
