Abstract

We explore a notion of fuzzy T-neighbourhood spaces, for any continuous triangular norm T, and we present on this notion a unified treatment. Our theory, on one hand, generalizes the theory of Lowen (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 7 (1982) 65) from T=Min to arbitrary T, which has been the progenitor of this work, and on the other hand it is strongly related to the theory of L-neighbourhoods of Höhle (Mathematics of Fuzzy Sets: Logic, Topology and Measure Theory, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, 1999) (when L is restricted to the lattice [0,1]). We study the T-neighbourhood bases and systems of our spaces, their level topologies, as well as their relationship to the Lowen–Höhle fuzzy T-uniformities (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 82 (1981) 370; Manuscripta Math. 38 (1982) 289) and to our fuzzy T-proximities (introduced in Part 1). We show that the nearness concept underlying a fuzzy T-neighbourhood space is a fuzzy relation of closeness between its ordinary subsets and ordinary points. In particular, our spaces are in canonical one-to-one correspondence with the (T-)probabilistic topological spaces of Frank (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 34 (1971) 67). We demonstrate that each full subcategory T-FNS, of FTS, of fuzzy T-neighbourhood spaces is a topological category. To do that, we characterize |T-FNS| within |FTS|, and we characterize continuity of functions within T-FNS in terms of T-neighbourhood bases.

      In this manuscript, we continue our study of T-syntopogenous spaces. We show how the T-syntopogenous spaces agree well with the fuzzy T-neighbourhood spaces [4], fuzzy T-uniform spaces [9], fuzzy T-proximity spaces [3] and syntopogenous spaces [2]. More precisely, it is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the fuzzy T-neighbourhood spaces and the so-called perfect T-syntopogenous spaces.
