Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce the product, coproduct, equalizer and coequalizer notions on the category of fuzzy implications on a bounded lattice that results in the existence of the limit, pullback, colimit and pushout. Also isomorphism, monic and epic are introduced in this category. Then a subcategory of this category, called the skeleton, is studied. Where none of any two fuzzy implications are $\Phi$-conjugate.

Keywords:

t-norm, fuzzy implication, category, skeleton of category

Classification:

03B52, 03E72
