FUZZY PARTIAL ORDER RELATIONS AND FUZZY LATTICES

We characterize a fuzzy partial order relation using its level set, find sufficient conditions for the image of a fuzzy partial order relation to be a fuzzy partial order relation, and find sufficient conditions for the inverse image of a fuzzy partial order relation to be a fuzzy partial order relation. Also we define a fuzzy lattice as fuzzy relations, characterize a fuzzy lattice using its level set, show that a fuzzy totally ordered set is a distributive fuzzy lattice, and show that the direct product of two fuzzy lattices is a fuzzy lattice.
