The Interaction between Fuzzy Subsets and Groupoids

We discuss properties of a class of real-valued functions on a set X2 constructed as finite (real) linear combinations of functions denoted as X,*;μ, where X,* is a groupoid (binary system) and μ is a fuzzy subset of X and where X,*;μx,y≔μx*y-minμx,μy. Many properties, for example, μ being a fuzzy s...
