Abstract
This work is an introductory investigation, on the lines of [9] and [10], into some topological aspects of fuzzy machines (studied in [4][8]), wherein we introduce a topology on the state-set of a fuzzy automaton and use it, together with some standard topological results, to deduce some fuzzy automata theoretic results given in [4][8].
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
The authors acknowledge with thanks the support received through a research grant, provided by the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, under which this work has been carried out.
