Abstract: In this paper we study the basic decomposition theorem for mappings in VH that is the model of intuitionistic set theory which is an extension of fuzzy set theory

 

Keywords: intuitionistic set, intuitionistic relation, intuitionistic mappings.

 

 

1. Introduction:

 

            The notion of a fuzzy set was first introduced in 1965 by Zadeh [5]. The theory has found wideranging applications in such diverse fields as automata, control theory, decision theory, and social behavior pattern studies, to name just a few. At the same time, a fuzzy relation between X and Y as a fuzzy subset of X´Y was also proposet by Zadeh [5].

            In [5], the fuzzy sets was introduced as an extension of crisp (usual) sets, the usual two-valued sets in ordinary set theory, by enlarging the truth value set to the real unit interval [0,1]. Fuzzy sets are characterized by mappings called membership functions  into [0,1]. The basic fuzzy set operations (union, intersection, complement, Cartesian product, etc.) are defined by some equations or inequalities between the membership functions.

            Intuitionistic fuzzy sets constitute a generalisation of the notion of a fuzzy set and were introduced by Atanassov [1].

            The model VH called Heyting model for intuitionistic set theory, where H is a complete Heyting algebra and is considered as the set of truth values in the model. The fuzzy sets and fuzzy relation was interpretted by shimoda [3]. It was indicated that VH is a model for intuitionistic set theory by Titani [4].

            In this paper, H is Heyting valued set with the classical operations, Ù, Ú, Ù, Ú, ®, Ø, 0, 1, £ .

            In intuitionistic logic, the strictness axioms: xÎy®ExÙEy and x=y®ExÙEy. The theory of intuitionistic logic with existence predicate is developed in Scott [2].

            Let V be the class of all usual sets and On be the class of ordinals. The model VH is constructed as follows.

 

Definition 1: For every aÎOn,

       = Æ

       =

       = {u = <ïuï,Eu> : ïuï: Du®H, Du Í , EuÎH, ïuï(x) £ Eu Ù Ex, for all xÎDu}

then the H-valued model is

VH =

 

            If uÎVH then u is called a set in VH. We identifiy ïuï with u.

            Let j(a1, a2, a3, ... ,an) be a formula and j be a sentence. A formula of VH is a formula of intuitionistic set theory with constants from elements of VH.

 

Definition2: Let u, vÎVH, j and y be sentences of VH and j(a) be a formula of VH. Then

i-                    úçEuúç = Eu

ii-                  úçuÎvúç = )

iii-                úçu = vúç = ) Ù) Ù Eu Ù Ev

iv-                úçj Ù yúç = úçjúçÙúçyúç

v-                  úçj Ú yúç = úçjúçÚúçyúç

vi-                úçj ® yúç = úçjúç®úçyúç

vii-              úçØjúç = Øúçjúç

viii-            úç"j(x) úç = úçj(x) úç)

ix-                úç$j(x) úç = Ùúçj(x) úç)

 

We abbreviate "x(xÎu®j(x)) to ("xÎu)j(x) and $x(xÎuÙj(x)) to ($xÎu)j(x) resp.

 

Lemma 1: Let j(a) be a formula of VH and uÎ VH.

i-                    úç"xj(x) úç = úçj(x) úç) = úçj(x) úç)

ii-                  úç$xj(x) úç = úçj(x) úç) = úçj(x) úç)

 

Thus for u, vÎ VH,

úçu Í vúç = úçxÎvúç) = úçxÎvúç)

 

      Let u, vÎVH. If úçuÍvúç=1 then we say u is a subset of v in VH and write uôv. If uôv and v ô u  then ve say u and are similar and denote it as u:v.

 

Lemma 2: Let u, v Î VH

      i-          = Ù Ù Eu Ù Ev

      ii-         u ôv iff  £  for all x Î VH

      iii-        u ~ v iff  =  for all x Î VH

 

Definition 3: For u, v Î VH  the cartesian product of u and v in VH is defined in the following way,

D(uv) = {: x Î Du, y Î Dv}, E(uv) = Eu Ù Ev  and  (uv) : → u(x) Ù v(y)

 

            We will write  instead of .

            From the above definition we write,

 = Ù

 

Proposition 1: All axioms of intuitionistic set theory are valid in VH.

 

            From the above proposition, it is show that VH is a model of intuitionistic set theory.

 

Definition 4: Let u, v Î VH be sets. The intersection and union of u and v are defined as following.

i-                    D(uv) = DuDv,  E(uv) = Eu Ù Ev  and u v : x → Ù

ii-                  D(uv) = Du  Dv,  E(uv) = Eu Ú Ev and u  v : x → Ú

 

Lemma 3: For all x, u, v Î VH , the followings hold.

i-                     = Ù

ii-                   = Ú

 

Lemma 4: For all u, v, w Î VH ,

i-                    uv ô u, uv ô v and if w ô u and w ô v then w ô uv

ii-                  u ô uv,  u ô uv and if u ô w and v ô w then uv ô w

 

 

2. Relations in the model VH

 

Definition 5: The relation in VH is a subset of a cartesian product of two sets in VH.

 

            For R, u, v Î VH , R is a relation from u to v in VH iff R  u´v. If u = v then R is called the relation on u. We often write xRy instead of ÎR.

 

Definition 6: Let u Î VH be a set. The identity relation Iu on u defined by

D(Iu) = {: xÎDu},  E(Iu) = Eu and Iu: →u(x)

            Iu is also called the equality relation on u.

 

Lemma 5: Let u Î VH be a set.

i-                     = Ù

ii-                   = , for all zÎVH

iii-                Iu ô u ´ u, that is Iu is a relation on u.

 

Definition 7: For R,S ÎVH, the composition SoR in VH is defined by

D(SoR) = {: x,z Î VbH},  E(RoS) = ERÙES and SoR:  

where b Î On such that DR  DS VbH

 

Lemma 6: Let R, S, u, v, w ÎVH be sets. Then the following holds.

i-                     = , for all x,y Î VH.

ii-                   =, for all t Î VH.

iii-                If  R ô u ´ v and Sôv ´ w then SoR ô u ´ w.

iv-                (ToS)oR = To(SoR).

v-                  If  R ô u ´ v then RoIu ~ R~IvoR.

 

Definition 8: For R Î VH, the inverse relation R-1 of R in VH is definite by

D(R-1) = {: x,y Î VH},  E(R-1) = ER  and R-1 :  .

where b is an ordinal which satisfies DR  VbH.

 

Lemma 7: Let R, u, v, then the following holds.

i-                    .

ii-                   = , for all w Î VH.

iii-                If  R ô u ´ v then R-1 ô v ´ u.

iv-                (u ´ v)-1 ~ v ´ u.

 

Proposition 2: Let R,S, u,v Î VH be sets then the following conditions are hold.

i-                    ()-1 ô R, if  R ô u´v then ()-1 ~ R.

ii-                  ~ Ç.

iii-                 ~ o.

iv-                If R ô S then  ô .

 

The most of the properties of relations on VH are defined same way as in V.

 

Definition 9: u Î VH and R be a relation on u in VH.

i-                    R is reflexive iff úç ("xÎu)(xRx) úç=1.

ii-                  R is symmetric iff úç ("x"y)(xRy ® yRx) úç=1.

iii-                R is transitive iff úç ("x"y"z)(xRyÙyRz ® xRz) úç=1.

iv-                R is connected iff úç ("x"y)(xRy Ú yRx) úç=1.

 

The relation on a set is equivalence relation in VH iff it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. For aÎu, the set  is defined by

D() = {y:yÎ}, E=Ea, and  *:x®R(a,x)

 

Thus, we define the set U/R with,

D(u/R)={ :aÎu}, E(u/R) = EuÙER, and u/R: ®

It is called the quotient set of u by R.

 

 

Lemma 8:  Let R be a relation on uÎ VH

i-                    R is reflexive iff Iu ô R.

ii-                  R is symmetric iff  ô R iff R ~ .

iii-                R is connected iff u´v ô RÈ iff u´u : RÈ.

 

Definition 10: Let R be a relation from u to v in VH

i-                    R is total if úç ("xÎu)($yÎv)(xRy) úç=1.

ii-                  R is surjective if úç ("yÎv)($xÎu)(xRy) úç=1.

iii-                R is injective if úç ("x,yÎu)("zÎv)(xRz Ù yRz ® x = y) úç=1.

iv-                R is univalent if úç ("xÎu)("y,zÎv)(xRy Ù xRz ® y = z) úç=1.

 

For each uÎVH, the identity relation Iu on u is defined by:

D(Iu)={<xx>: xÎDu}, E(Iu)=Eu and Iu : <xx>®u(x)

 

Proposition 3: Let R be a relation from u to v in VH.

i-                    R is total iff Iu ô oR.

ii-                  R is surjective iff Iv ô Ro.

iii-                R is injective iff oRôIu.

iv-                R is univalent iff RoôIv.

Proof:  Let R be a relation from u to v in VH.

i-       Since = úç ("xÎu)x(oR)x úç=úç ("xÎu)($yÎv) (xRy) úç, R is total iff =1 iff Iu ô oR.

ii-     In VH, oRÍIu iff ("x, yÎu)(x(oR)y®x=y) iff ("x, yÎu)($zÎv)(xRzÙyRz)®x=y) iff R is injective.

iii and iv similar to i and iii respectively.

 

It is obvious that the inverse of a total (resp. surjective) relation is surjective (resp. total) and the inverse of an injective (resp. univalent) relation is univalent (resp. injective). A composition of total (resp. surjective, injectivei univalent) relations is total (resp. surjective, injective, univalent)

 

 

3. Mappings in model VH

 

Definition 11: Let u, v, fÎ VH, f is called a mapping from u to v in VH if f is total and univalent relation from u to v in VH.

 

            We write f:u®v in VH if f is a mapping from u tov in VH. Hence f:u®v in VH iff úçf:u®vúç=1, that is,

            úçf Í u´vúç=úç ("x$y)(<xy>Îfúç = úç ("x"y"z)(<xy>ÎfÙ<xz>Îf)®(y=z) úç=1.

 

            We often write f(x) = y instead of <xy> Î f or xfy. By proposition1.2.(1)(4), a relation f from u to v is a mapping iff Iu ô  and  ô Iv .

            A composition of two mappings is also a mappings, that is, if f is a mapping from u to v and g is a mapping from v to w, then the composition gof is a mapping from u to w in VH. Identity relations are always mappings.

            For a mapping f from u to v in VH, the composition Rf = is always an equivalence relation. Then we have úçxRfyúç = úçf(x)=f(y) úç for all x, yÎV, where, f(x) = f(y) is an abbreviation for $z(xfz Ù yfz).

            An injection (resp. Surjection) is an injective (resp. Surjective) mapping, and a bijection is an injective and surjective mapping. By proposition 3 we have

 

Lemma 9: Let f be a relation from u to v in VH

i-                    f is an injection iff Iu :  and   ô Iv.

ii-                  f is a surjection iff Iu ô  and   : Iv.

iii-                f is bijection iff Iu :  and   : Iv.

 

Hence for a mapping f:u®v in VH, f is injective iff Iu :  and is surjective iff  : Iv.

 

Theorem 1: Let u,vÎ VH be sets, f:u®v is a function in VH then there is a decomposition of f such that

f ~ kohog

where k:f(u)®v is an injection, h:®f(u) is a bijection and g:u® is a surjection.

 

Proof: Let úç<a>Îgúç=úç<ab>ÎIuúç=úça=búç then

      úçÍúç=úç (",Î)(<>ή=úç

                        = úç ("$d)(<d>Îg Ù <d>Îg ®=úç

                        = úç ("$d)( úçd=búç Ù úçd=cúç ®=úç=1

therefore ô.

úçg Í u´úç= úç ("a$)(<a> Îgúç= úç ("a$)(<a>ÎgÙ<a>Îg®=úç=1.

      From the same way, if we define the function h: ®f(u) with

úç<y>Îhúç=

we obtained h is a bijection.

If we choose k is a embedding mapping then it is clear that k is an injection.

 

We proved only  f ô kohog,

      úçfÍ kohogúç=(f(x,y)®(x,y)Î kohog)

                  = (f(x,y)®($zÎf(u), k(z,y)Ù(x,z)Î hog)

                  = (f(x,y)® ($zÎf(u), Î k(z,y)Ù(x, )Îg(,z)Î h)

                  = (f(x,y)® ($zÎf(u), Î,(z=y)Ù(x=a)Ù((m=a)Ù(m,z)Îf))

                  ³ (f(x,y)® (($z,),(z=y)Ù(x=a)Ù(a,z)Îf)

                  = (f(x,y)®f(x,y)) = 1

therefore f ô kohog.

           

            The function g is called natural mapping which is defined above theorem and write natRf instead of g.

 

Theorem 2: Let u,vÎVH be sets. R be an equivalence relation on u, and f:u®v is a function in VH. If RôRf then there exist a function :®v in VH such that o natRf :f.

 

Proof: We define úç<,y>Îúç=úç<by>Îfúç. From this

            úç<x,y>ÎonatRúç= úç$, <x, >ÎnatRÙ<y>Îúç

                  =(úçÎA/RúçÙúç<x, >ÎnatRúçÙúç<y>Îúç)

                  £ (úçÎA/RúçÙúçx=aúçÙúç<ay>Îfúç)

                  £ (úçaÎAúçÙúçx=aúçÙúç<ay>Îfúç)

                  £ úç<xy>Îfúç.

Therefore, f ô onatR.

The converse is clear from the definition of

úçfÍonatRúç=(<xy>Îf®<xy>ÎonatR).
