Some constructions of the join of fuzzy subgroups and certain lattices of fuzzy subgroups with sup property

In this paper, some new lattices of fuzzy substructures are constructed. For a given fuzzy set μ in a group G, a fuzzy subgroup S(μ) generated by μ is defined which helps to establish that the set L_s of all fuzzy subgroups with sup property constitutes a lattice. Consequently, many other sublattices of the lattice L of all fuzzy subgroups of G like , etc. are also obtained. The notion of infimum is used to construct a fuzzy subgroup i(μ) generated by a given fuzzy set μ, in contrast to the usual practice of using supremum. In the process a new fuzzy subgroup i(μ)^∗ is defined which we shall call a shadow fuzzy subgroup of μ. It is established that if μ has inf property, then i(μ)^∗ also has this property.
