Abstract

The approximation of fuzzy languages is one of the important problems, it is more practical to consider its approximate implementation if the fuzzy languages cannot be realized by a automaton. In this paper, for a real number \(\lambda \in [0,1]\), we give the definition of fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate context-free languages and their Pumping lemma. Then we study the algebraic properties of fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate context-free languages. Firstly, we give a hierarchical characterization of fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate context-free languages different from the previous fuzzy languages. Furthermore, we show that fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate context-free languages are closed under the operations union, concatenation and Kleene closure, but not closed under the operations intersection, complement, Łukasiewicz addition, Łukasiewicz product and Łukasiewicz implication. Finally, we discuss the relationships between fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate context-free languages and fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate regular languages, and prove that the intersection of a fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate context-free languages and a fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approximate regular languages is a fuzzy \(\lambda \)-approxi-mate context-free languages.
