Abstract: | ![]() We consider fuzzy maximal ideals of BCI, BCK, and MV algebras, and show that such fuzzy ideals take only the values {0,1}, and have level ideals which are maximal ideals of the algebra. It is shown that fuzzy maximal ideals of commutative BCK algebras are fuzzy prime. We establish a correspondence between ideals and fuzzy ideals. In a bounded BCK algebra, this correspondence is one-to-one between maximal ideals and fuzzy maximal ideals. We also show how to construct fuzzy ideals which are not characteristic functions of ideals of an MV algebra. |
