Direct and ordinal products realized by triangular norm operators with no zero divisors (2306.01145v2)

Abstract: IIn this note we continue the work of Chon, as well as Mezzomo, Bedregal, and Santiago, by studying algebraic operations on fuzzy posets and bounded fuzzy lattices. We first prove that fuzzy posets are closed under finite direct products whenever the triangular norm realizing the product construction has no zero divisors. This result is then extended to the case of bounded fuzzy lattices. Some immediate consequences are then obtained within the setting of direct products realized by triangular norms with no nilpotent elements as well as strictly monotone and cancellative triangular norms. We then introduce a triangular norm based construction of ordinal products and similarly show that fuzzy posets are closed under ordinal products whenever the triangular norm realizing the product construction has no zero divisors.
