Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

One of important features of the foundation of mathematics is that logic, a central research area, studies basic features of not only reasoning but also many other scientific objects. In particular, logic and algebra, having more general structures, have been investigated in this area, for example, t-norm-based fuzzy logic, and residuated lattices (including MV-algebra, BL-algebra, and MTL-algebra). At the same time, non-classical logic represented by fuzzy logic is widely used in intelligent information processing. Recently, artificial intelligence and big data have become hot spots of science and technology; data intelligence is the integration of the two, which requires a variety of non-classical logic approaches to provide basic theory. In order to promote close communication and cooperation in the research fields of fuzzy logic, various non-classical logic and related algebraic systems, as well as applications in data intelligence, we are planning a Special Issue of Axioms, and we welcome relevant experts and scholars to contribute.

In this paper, we give a basic structure theorem based on the study of extreme cases for the value of ≺ (the classical precedence relation between ultrafilters), i.e., = and no isolated element in ≺. This gives rise, respectively, to the temporal varieties O and W, with the result that O generates a variety of temporal algebras. We also characterize the simple temporal algebras by means of arithmetical properties related to basical temporal operators; we conclude that the simplicity of the temporal algebra lies in being able to make 0 any element less than 1 by repeated application to it of the L operator. We then present an algebraic construction similar to a product but in which the temporal operations are not defined componentwise. This new “product” is shown to be useful in the study of algebra order and finding of bounds by means of something similar to a lifting process. Finally, we give an alternative proof of an already known result on atoms counting in free temporal algebras. Full article

Residuated basic logic (RBL) is the logic of residuated basic algebras, which constitutes a conservative extension of basic propositional logic (BPL). The basic implication is a residual of a non-associative binary operator in RBL. The conservativity is shown by relational semantics. A Gentzen-style sequent calculus GRBL, which is an extension of the distributive full non-associative Lambek calculus, is established for residuated basic logic. The calculus GRBL admits the mix-elimination, subformula, and disjunction properties. Moreover, the class of all residuated basic algebras has the finite embeddability property. The consequence relation of GRBL is decidable. Full article

The first entire Zagreb index (FEZI) is a graph parameter that has proven to be essential in various real-life scenarios, such as networking businesses and traffic management on roads. In this research paper, the FEZI was explored for a variety of fuzzy graphs, including star, firefly graph, cycle, path, fuzzy subgraph, vertex elimination, and edge elimination. This study presented several results, including determining the relationship between two isomorphic fuzzy graphs and between a path and cycle (connecting both end vertices of the path). This research also deals with the analysis of α-cut fuzzy graphs and establishes bounds for some fuzzy graphs. To apply these findings to modern life problems, the research team utilized the results to identify areas that require more development in internet systems. These results have practical implications for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of internet systems. The conclusion drawn from this research can be used to inform future research and aid in the development of more efficient and effective systems in various fields. Full article

The concept of an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Modal Topological Structure (IFMTS) was introduced previously, and some of its properties were studied. So far, there are two different IFMTSs based on the classical intuitionistic fuzzy operations: “union” (∪) and “intersection” (∩). In the present paper, two new IFMTSs are developed. They are based on new intuitionistic fuzzy topological operators from closure and interior types, introduced here for the first time, and on the two standard intuitionistic fuzzy modal operators □ and ◊. Some basic properties of the new IFMTSs are discussed. The newly presented IFMTSs could be considered as a basis for the next research on the IFMTSs. Some ideas for the future development of the IFMTS theory and open problems are formulated, related to the existence of other intuitionistic fuzzy operations that can generate new intuitionistic fuzzy topological operators and, respectively, new IFMTSs.

Preconcepts are basic units of knowledge that form the basis of formal concepts in formal concept analysis (FCA). This paper investigates the relations among different kinds of preconcepts, such as protoconcepts, meet and join-semiconcepts and formal concepts. The first contribution of this paper, is to present a fuzzy powerset lattice gradation, that coincides with the preconcept lattice at its 1-cut. The second and more significant contribution, is to introduce a preconcept algebra gradation that yields different algebras for protoconcepts, semiconcepts, and concepts at different cuts. This result reveals new insights into the structure and properties of the different categories of preconcepts. Full article

This paper reveals some relations between fuzzy logic and quantum logic on partial residuated implications (PRIs) induced by partial t-norms as well as proposes partial residuated monoids (PRMs) and partial residuated lattices (PRLs) by defining partial adjoint pairs. First of all, we introduce the connection between lattice effect algebra and partial t-norms according to the concept of partial t-norms given by Borzooei, together with the proof that partial operation in any commutative quasiresiduated lattice is partial t-norm. Then, we offer the general form of PRI and the definition of partial fuzzy implication (PFI), give the condition that partial residuated implication is a fuzzy implication, and prove that each PRI is a PFI. Next, we propose PRLs, study their basic characteristics, discuss the correspondence between PRLs and lattice effect algebras (LEAs), and point out the relationship between LEAs and residuated partial algebras. In addition, like the definition of partial t-norms, we provide the notions of partial triangular conorms (partial t-conorms) and corresponding partial co-residuated lattices (PcRLs). Lastly, based on partial residuated lattices, we define well partial residuated lattices (wPRLs), study the filter of well partial residuated lattices, and then construct quotient structure of PRMs. Full article

It is well known that lattice-valued rough sets are important branches of fuzzy rough sets. The axiomatic characterization and related topology are the main research directions of lattice-valued rough sets. For L=(L,), a complete co-residuated lattice (CCRL), Qiao recently defined an L-fuzzy lower approximation operator (LFLAO) on the basis of the L-fuzzy relation. In this article, we give a further study on Qiao’s LFLAO around the axiomatic characterization and induced L-topology. Firstly, we investigate and discuss three new LFLAO generated by ⊛-transitive, ⊛-Euclidean and ⊛-mediated L-fuzzy relations. Secondly, we utilize a single axiom to characterize the LFLAO generated by serial, symmetric, reflexive, ⊛-transitive and ⊛-mediate L-fuzzy relations and their compositions. Thirdly, we present a method to generate Alexandrov L-topology (ALTPO) from LFLAO and construct a bijection between ALTPO and ⊛-preorder (i.e., reflexive and ⊛-transitive L-fuzzy relation) on the same underlying set.

Overlap and grouping functions are important aggregation operators, especially in information fusion, classification and decision-making problems. However, when we do more in-depth application research (for example, non-commutative fuzzy reasoning, complex multi-attribute decision making and image processing), we find overlap functions as well as grouping functions are required to be commutative (or symmetric), which limit their wide applications. For the above reasons, this paper expands the original notions of overlap functions and grouping functions, and the new concepts of pseudo overlap functions and pseudo grouping functions are proposed on the basis of removing the commutativity of the original functions. Some examples and construction methods of pseudo overlap functions and pseudo grouping functions are presented, and the residuated implication (co-implication) operators derived from them are investigated. Not only that, some applications of pseudo overlap (grouping) functions in multi-attribute (group) decision-making, fuzzy mathematical morphology and image processing are discussed. Experimental results show that, in many application fields, pseudo overlap functions and pseudo grouping functions have greater flexibility and practicability. Full article

Furthermore, we provide some representation of MTL-algebras by implicative derivations and obtain some representation of Boolean algebra via the algebra of all implicative derivations. Finally, we explore the relationship between implicative derivation and other operators on MTL-algebras and show that there exists a bijection between the sets of multiplier and implicative derivations on IMTL-algebras. The results of this paper can provide the common properties of implicative derivations in the t-norm-based fuzzy logical algebras. Full article

A BN-algebra is a non-empty set X with a binary operation “” and a constant 0 that satisfies the following axioms: (B1) xx=0, (B2) x0=x, and (BN) (xy)z=(0z)(yx) for all x, y, z X. A non-empty subset I of X is called an ideal in BN-algebra X if it satisfies 0X and if yI and xyI, then xI for all x,yX. In this paper, we define several new ideal types in BN-algebras, namely, r-ideal, k-ideal, and m-k-ideal. Furthermore, some of their properties are constructed. Then, the relationships between ideals in BN-algebra with r-ideal, k-ideal, and m-k-ideal properties are investigated. Finally, the concept of r-ideal homomorphisms is discussed in BN-algebra.
