Volume 33 • Number 1 • 2010   • On (∈, ∈ ∨ q)-Fuzzy Filters of Pseudo-BL Algebras Jianming Zhan, Young Bae Jun and Wies law A. Dudek Abstract. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of (∈, ∈ ∨ q)-fuzzy (implicative, MV- and G-) filters of pseudo-BL algebras and to investigate some of their related properties. Some characterization theorems of these generalized fuzzy (implicative) filters are derived. The relationship among these generalized fuzzy filters of pseudo-BL algebras is considered. It is proved that an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)-fuzzy filter of a pseudo-BL algebra is an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)-fuzzy implicative filter if and only if it is both an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)-fuzzy MV-filter and an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)-fuzzy G-filter. Finally, we consider the concept of implication-based fuzzy implicative filters of pseudo-BL algebras, in particular, the implication operators in Lukasiewicz system of continuous-valued logic are discussed. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 06D35, 03G12, 03B52.
