Abstract

Although fuzzy relation equations and inequations have a broad field of application, it is common that they have no solutions or have only the trivial solution. Therefore, it is desirable to study new types of fuzzy relation inequations similar to the well-studied ones and with nontrivial solutions. This paper studies fuzzy relation inequations that include the degree of subsethood and the degree of equality of fuzzy sets. We provide formulae for determining the greatest solutions to systems of such fuzzy relation inequations. We provide alternative ways to compute these solutions when we cannot run the methods based on these formulae.
