Fuzzy lattices as fuzzy relations

Main Article Content

Abstract

We define a fuzzy lattice as a fuzzy relation, develop some basic properties of the fuzzy lattice, show that the operations of join and meet in fuzzy lattices are isotone and associative, characterize a fuzzy lattice by its level set, and show that the direct product of two fuzzy lattices is a fuzzy lattice.
