3 Fuzzy relations on modules 1009 Definition28[4]: Let be a fuzzy subset of M Then the strongest fuzzy subset on M that is a fuzzy relation on is defined by, x, y M ( x, y) = ( x, y) = min( ( x), ( y)) Definition29[4]: Let be a fuzzy relation on M Then the weakest fuzzy subset of M on which is a fuzzy relation is defined by, x M ( x) = sup max ( xy, ), ( yx, ) ( x, y) = min( ( x), ( y)) y M Definition210[4]: Let and be a fuzzy subset of M Then, x M ο ( x, y) = sup min( ( y), ( z)) Definition211[3]: Let f : M N and be fuzzy subset of M The fuzzy subset f ( ) of N defined as follows; for all y N, x= yz 1 ( x): x M, f( x) = y if f ( y) f( )( y) = is called the fuzzy 0 otherwise image of under f Definition212[3]: Let f : M N and be fuzzy subset of N The fuzzy subset 1 f ( ) of N defined as follows; for all x M, f 1 ( )( x) = ( f( x)) is called fuzzy preimage of under f Definition213[3]: Let M and N be two R-modules The direct sum of M and N, denoted M N, is the R-module, which as a set is the Cartesian product of M and N, with addition and multiplication defined coordinate by coordinate: (m 1, n 1)+(m 2, n 2) = (m 1+m 2,n 1+ n 2) and r(m, n) = (rm, rn) Definition214[5,6]: A fuzzy submodule of M is a fuzzy subset of M such that 1- (0) = 1 2- ( rx) ( x) r R and x M 3- ( x + y) min( ( x), ( y)) x, y M Theorem215[5,6]: is a fuzzy submodule of M if and only if t Im t is a submodule of M 3 Fuzzy relations on modules Malik and Mordeson [ ] analised fuzzy relation on fuzzy rings and groups Similarly we get new useful result in fuzzy module theory Theorem31: and are fuzzy submodules of M then the cartesian product of and is a fuzzy submodule of M M Proof: Since ( o) = 1 = (0) 1- (0,0) = min( (0), (0)) = 1

5 Fuzzy relations on modules 1011 Corollary35: Let be a subset of M and only if is a fuzzy submodule of M is a fuzzy submodule of M M if We now give the one-one correspondence between all fuzzy submodules M M and N N Theorem36: Let f : M M N N and be f invariant of M M and N N If is a fuzzy submodule of M M then f ( ) is fuzzy submodules of N N Proof: f ( )(0,0) = sup ( (0,0) f( x, y) = (0,0) ( x, y) M M = sup min( (0), (0)) f( x, y) = (0,0) = sup 1,1 = 1 For r1, r2r 1r2 R, x1, x2 N and x1x2 M f( )( rx, r x ) = sup ( r x, r x ) f( r x, r x ) = ( rx, r x ) rx rx 2 2 f rx rx 2 2 rx rx 2 2 ` ` x1 x2 x1 x2 f x1 x2 x1 x2 = sup min( ( ), ( )) (, ) = (, ) sup min( ( ), ( )) = sup min( (, ) (, ) = (, ) = f( )( x1, x2) For x1, y1, x2, y2 N x1, y1, x2, y2 M f( )(( x1, x2) + ( y1, y2)) = f( )( x1 + y1, x2 + y2) = sup ( x + y, x + y ) f( x + y, x + y ) = ( x + y, x + y ) x1 y1 x2 y2 x1 y1 x2 y2 x1 x2 y1 y2 x1 x2 y1 y2 f x1 x2 x1 x2 f y1 y2 y1 y2 = sup min( ( + ), ( + )) sup min( ( ), ( )), min( ( ), ( )) = sup min( ( ), ( )), min( ( ), ( )) = sup ((, )), ((, )) (, ) = (, ), (, ) = (, ) = min( f( )( x1, x2), f( )( y1, y2) Therefore f ( ) is fuzzy submodules of N N Theorem37: Let f : M M N N and be f invariant of M M and N N If is a fuzzy submodule of N N then submodules of M M Proof: f 1 ( ) is fuzzy
