Bosbach states on fuzzy structures

Pseudo-BL algebras are non-commutative fuzzy structures which generalize BL-algebras and pseudo-MV algebras. In this paper we study the states on a pseudo-BL algebra. This concept is obtained by using the Bosbach condition for each of the two implications of a pseudo BL-algebra. We also propose a notion of conditional state for BL-algebras.The author would like to thank Laureiu Leutean for his valuable suggestions in obtaining the final version of the paper.
