A note on the lattice structure for subalgebras of the algebra of truth values of type-2 fuzzy sets
Section snippets
Introduction and preliminary
Type-2 fuzzy sets were introduced by Zadeh in 1975, as an extension of type-1 fuzzy sets, and have been heavily investigated both as a mathematical object and as a tool in applications (see, e.g. [8], [10], [11], [12]). The algebra of truth values of type-2 fuzzy sets is a set of all mappings from the unit interval into itself, with operations given by the various convolutions of the pointwise operations [10]. From [9] we know the truth value algebra of type-2 fuzzy sets does not form a lattice
Sublattices
In this section, we propose an equivalent characterization of sublattices and point out that any sublattice is isomorphic to a corresponding sublattice whose all elements are convex functions with the same height. Further, we give the equivalent characterizations of the partial order in each sublattice. As applications, the example of complete sublattices and non-complete sublattices containing non-convex functions is given, respectively.
Conclusions
In this paper, we give the equivalent characterization of a sublattice of and the equivalent characterizations of the partial order in it, respectively, and prove that any sublattice is isomorphic to . In the future work, we will concentrate on the equivalent characterizations of complete sublattices.

Extension operators for type-2 fuzzy sets derived from overlap functions
2022, Fuzzy Sets and SystemsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, one can effectively study type-2 fuzzy sets through the fuzzy truth value. Since then, the theory of fuzzy truth values has been studied with regard to various aspects, such as extended aggregation functions for fuzzy truth values [15,17,24,33,39,43], the automorphisms of the algebra of fuzzy truth values [32], distributive equations of extended operators [24,34,45], lattice structure [44] and convolution operations [46]. In 2014, to extend operators for fuzzy truth values to general operators on a linearly order set, Hu and Kwong [17] proposed T-extension operators of fuzzy sets on a linearly ordered set based on triangular norms (t-norms, for short).
An extended TODIM approach for group emergency decision making based on bidirectional projection with hesitant triangular fuzzy sets
2021, Computers and Industrial EngineeringCitation Excerpt :In such cases, fuzzy sets could be considered as a viable option for handling the ambiguity of the situation and the uncertainty. Examples of such fuzzy sets include the interval fuzzy sets (Gorzałczany, 1987; Wang et al., 2017), hesitant fuzzy sets (Alcantud & Giarlotta, 2019; Garg & Kaur, 2020; Torra, 2010), intuitionistic fuzzy sets (Alcantud, Khameneh, & Kilicman, 2020; Atanassov, 1986; Garg & Kumar, 2019), and type-2 fuzzy sets (Wang, Pan, Yan, Yao, & He, 2020; Zhang & Hu, 2020). This paper focuses on the case when the attribute values of the emergency response alternatives are expressed as Hesitant Triangular Fuzzy Sets (HTFS).
