A Study of Normal Fuzzy Subgroups and Characteristic Fuzzy Subgroups of a Fuzzy Group

摘要

In this paper, we investigate the properties of normal fuzzy subgroups of a fuzzy group. We also introduce the notion of a characteristic fuzzy subgroup of a fuzzy group, of which we provide level subset and strong level subset characterizations. Then we prove that a characteristic fuzzy subgroup of a fuzzy group is a normal fuzzy subgroup. Besides we prove that the commutator subgroup generated by the commutator of two normal fuzzy subgroups of a fuzzy group is contained in their intersection. Finally, we construct many new lattices and sublattices of fuzzy subgroups and normal fuzzy subgroups of a given fuzzy group. We also construct lattices of characteristic fuzzy subgroups possessing sup-property.
