Abstract

Background

This article introduces the fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra (LBS) of LiuB-algebra (LBA), a concept previously undefined in the context of BCL-algebras (other than BCL+-algebras). Additionally, we explore the use of a new notion of Pythagorean fuzzy sets within LiuB-subalgebras of LiuB-algebra.

Methods

We define the Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra and investigate its basic characteristics. The methodology involves applying the concept of Pythagorean fuzzy sets to LiuB-subalgebras, with a focus on properties such as the complement of a fuzzy set, square deviation, accuracy function, score function, and degree of indeterminacy.

Results

The paper introduces a new concept—the Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra of LiuB-algebra—and provides theorems and properties associated with this structure. These findings demonstrate how these fuzzy subalgebras can be defined and explored within the broader framework of LiuB-algebra.

Conclusions

This work contributes to the theory of LiuB-algebras by presenting the Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra, along with its key properties and characteristics. The study provides new insights into the relationships between fuzzy sets and LiuB-algebras, opening up further avenues for research in this area.

1. Introduction

G. Cantor (1970)1 had investigated concepts and ideas of the set theory before L. A. Zadeh (1965)2 investigated ideas of fuzzy sets to handle vagueness or ambiguity mathematically which classical sets could not address where such sets contain elements that satisfy precise properties of membership as a subset, which could be defined by a function called characteristic mapping.

A fuzzy set F in a set X (nonempty set) is defined as: F = {⟨y, ηF (y)⟩: y ∈ X} such that the mapping ηF: X → [0, 1] expresses membership degree of a member y in X to set F. Values “0” and “1” here represent fully non-membership and fully membership values respectively and values in between 0 and 1 represent intermediate membership degrees.

K. Iseki (1980)2 investigated BCI-algebra as subset of BCK-algebra and Y. H. Liu (respectively in 2011, 2012, 2017)36 introduced notions of algebras, different but related algebras, BCL-algebra, BCL+-algebra and Liu-algebra (where one of its axioms is semi-group7), with their partial orders.

As generalization of fuzzy set, K.T. Atanassov (2012)8 investigated the notion of an intuitionistic fuzzy set to minimize vagueness or ambiguity, and later following Atanasove, R. R. Yager (2013)9 launched Pythagorean fuzzy sets to alleviate the constraint on the total of membership degrees and non-membership degrees in intuitionistic fuzzy sets.

Pythagorean fuzzy sets, originally proposed by Yager R. R. (2013),10,11 are tools to deal with the vagueness or the uncertainties considering the membership grades and non-membership grades (η, τ) where the condition 0(η(m))2+(τ(m))21 is fulfilled. As a generalized set, Pythagorean fuzzy sets have close relationship with intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which Atanassov (2012)12 initiated the concept, which is a generalization of Zadeh’s fuzzy sets. Pythagorean fuzzy sets can be reduced to intuitionistic fuzzy sets in which, 0η(m)+τ(m)1 is fulfilled.

A novel algorithm specified by X. Fuyuan, D. Weiping (2019)13 based on the Pythagorean fuzzy set distance measure is intended to elucidate the problems of medical diagnosis. By relating the different methods in the medical diagnosis application, it is found that the new algorithm is as proficient as the other methods. These results prove that this method is applied in dealing with the medical diagnosis problems.

The algebraic of semi-groups6 (2017) occurred naturally in Liu-algebra, and as module framework is a composite structure of ring framework and Abelian group framework, similarly, Liu-algebra offered a new composite structure, which is based on the well-known semi-groups and BCL+-algebras (also known as Liu-algebras, which was named after the author, Y. H. Liu), for the aim was to involve a fresh approach for Liu-algebras whose properties and results were interesting.

This study has considered those basic definitions and essential concepts of BCL-algebra, Liu-algebra and also subalgebras in Liu-algebra, that are relevant for our study. But the definition of Liu-algebra is defined based on BCL+-algebra, not on BCL-Algebra and the subalgebra of the Liu-algebra has not been fuzzified, nor has the Pythagorean fuzzy subalgebra been introduced, yet. For this reason, the authors of this article are initiated to fill these gaps to yield new properties, new fuzzified results and new Pythagorean fuzzy structures as subalgebras.

Thus in this paper, starting by examining some new properties of BCL-Algebra that has not been discussed yet, we define LiuB-algebra which offer other composite structure, which is constructed using BCL-Algebra along with the semi-group and then we have introduced interesting new concept of LiuB-subalgebra of the LiuB-algebra, have fuzzified it and then have introduced Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra of LiuB-algebra. Furthermore, we have examined the varieties of contextual concepts of newly interpreted notions herewith as complement of fuzzy set, square deviation, accuracy function, score function, degree of indeterminacy, membership deviations and non-membership deviations under some properties of Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra and then some interesting new results are obtained.

2. Preliminaries

Under this part of the paper, we recall a few main definitions and results on a few algebras, subalgebras, Pythagorean fuzzy sets that are needed and related to our study.

For the whole of this section, we denote ”iff” for “if and only if”.

2.1 A Few Algebras, Subalgebras and Some Fuzzy Structures

Definition 2.1.1.

14 A BCI-algebra is an algebra (X; *, 0) of (2, 0) kind such that conditions below are fulfilled; ∀k, m, n ∈ X.:

  • (i) [(k * m) * (k * n)] * (n * m) = 0

  • (ii) (k * (k * m)) * m = 0

  • (iii) k * k = 0

  • (iv) k * m = 0 and m * k = 0 ⇒ k = m.

Definition 2.1.2.

15 Suppose X is a BCI-algebra and the set I is non-empty subset of X. I is known as subalgebra of X if, for every m, n in X.

  • (a) 0 ∈ I

  • (b) m * n ∈ I.

Definition 2.1.3.

15,16 A fuzzy set μ in a BCK-algebra X is known as fuzzy subalgebra of X if; for every m, n in X:

μ(mn)min{μ(m),μ(n)},

2.2 Basic Concepts of Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets

Definition 2.2.1.

8,9,17 Let ∅ ≠ X. A fuzzy subset A ⊆ X is defined as: A = {⟨m, μA (m)⟩: mX}, such that μA (m): X → [0, 1] given by the degree of membership and a complement of μA, symbolized as μ¯A , is the fuzzy set in X given by μ¯A(m)=1μA(m) for every m ∈ X, and as a result μA(m)=1μ¯A(m) .

Definition 2.2.2.

12 An intuitionistic fuzzy set I in the non-void set X is an object where: {m, μI (m), υI (m): m∈X}, such that the function μI (m): X →[0, 1] and υI (m): X → [0, 1] define the membership degree and the non-membership degree, respectively where: 0μI(m)+νI(m)1 is fulfilled.

Definition 2.2.3.

17 A Pythagorean fuzzy set P in X (non-void set) is an object such that: P = {m, ηP (m), τP (m): m ∈X}, for a mappings ηp (m): X →[0, 1] and τP (m): X→[0, 1] define membership degree & non-membership degree, respectively such that: 0(ηP(m))2+(τP(m))21 is fulfilled.

Definition 2.2.4.

18 Suppose (ηP(m))2+(νP(m))21 , then there is a degree of indeterminacy of mXtoPgiven asπP(m)=1((ηP(m))2+(νP(m))2)(πP(m))2=1((ηP(m))2+(νP(m))2);πP(m)[0,1]

Definition 2.2.5.

18 Let P be Pythagorean fuzzy set on X. Then, the score function, s of P is given by: sP(m)=(ηP(m))2(νP(m))2 , where sP(m) ∈ [-1, 1].

Definition 2.2.6.

18 For Pythagorean fuzzy set P on X, the accuracy function, a, of P is given by: aP(m)=(ηP(m))2+(νP(m))2 for a(P) ∈ [0, 1].

Definition 2.2.7.

8 The Pythagorean fuzzy set in a BCK-algebra B is known as a Pythagorean fuzzy subalgebra of B if for every m, n ∈ B, the axiom below is fulfilled:

lP(mn)min{lP(m),lP(n)}and
mP(mn)max{mP(m),mP(n)}.

2.3 Basic Concepts of BCL-algebra, BCL+-algebra, Liu-Algebra, and subalgebras

For this subsection, we have recalled relevant definitions and essential concepts of BCL- algebra, BCL+-algebra, Liu-algebra, and corresponding subalgebras which could be related to our paper.

Definition 2.3.1.

4 An algebra (B; ⊛, 0) of (2, 0) kind is known as BCL-algebra iff for every m, n, w ∈ B:

  • (1) mm = 0;

  • (2) mn = 0 and nm = 0 imply m = n

  • (3) [((mn) ⊛ w)⊛((mw) ⊛ n)]⊛((w ⊛ n) ⊛ m) = 0.

Example 2.3.2.

5 Let B = {0, 1, 2, 3} and define a binary operation ⊛ on B by the Table 1, below. Then from Table 1, it is simple to verify that B is BCL-algebra.

Definition 2.3.3.

5 Suppose (B; ⊛, 0) is a BCL-algebra. A binary relation “≤” on B in which m, n∈ B iff mn = 0 for every m, n ∈ B is known as the BCL-ordering and “≤” is partial ordering on B.

Definition 2.3.4.

5 Suppose mn iff mn = 0, the definition 2.3.1 for BCL-algebra could be given by:

  • (1) mm

  • (2) mn and nmm = n

  • (3) [(mn) ⊛ w] ⊛ [(mw) ⊛ n] ≤ (wn) ⊛ m.

Definition 2.3.5.

4,6 An algebra (B; ⊛, 1) of (2, 0) kind is known as BCL+-algebra iff for every m, n, w ∈ B:

  • (1) mm = 1;

  • (2) mn = 1 and nm = 1 imply m = n

  • (3) ((mn) ⊛ w) ⊛ ((mw) ⊛ n) = (wn) ⊛ m.

Definition 2.3.6.

6 A Liu-algebra is a tetrad (L; ⊛, ⊙, 1) in which L is a non-void set; ⊛ and ⊙ are two binary operations defined on L, 1 is a constant in L in which for every m, n, w ∈ L such that the statements given below are true:

  • (1) (L; ⊛, 1) is BCL+-algebra

  • (2) (L; ⊙) is a semi-group

  • (3) m ⊙ (nw) = (mn) ⊛ (mw) and

  • (4) (nm) ⊙ w = (nw) ⊛ (mw).

Definition 2.3.7.

6 Suppose K is non-void subset of Liu-algebra (L; ⊛, , 1).

Thus K is known as subalgebra of L iff m, n ∈ Kmn ∈ K and mn ∈ K.

Example 2.3.8.

6 Let L = {p, q, r, 1} and two binary operations ⊛ and ⊙ on L be as defined in Table 2 below:

From Table 2, it can easily be justified that (X, ⊛, ⊙, 1) is Liu-algebra, and {1, p}, {1, q}, {1, p, q}, {1, p, r}, {1} L are subalgebras of L but {p, q}, {1, q, r}, {p, q, r} are not.

3. Results

Pythagorean Fuzzy Liu B-Subalgebra of Liu B-Algebra

3.1 Section Introduction

For the whole of this section, we denote “LBS.” for Liu B-subalgebra, “LBA.” for Liu B-algebra and ”iff” for if and only if.

Before beginning this section, let us have the following introduction of new propositions of BCL- Algebra which may help us for this section.

Proposition 3.1.1.

If (B; ⊛, 0) is a BCL-Algebra, hence all statements hereunder are true, for every m, nB:

(1) m = 0 (and hence 0 is the least element),

(2) m ⊛ 0 = 0 ⇒ m = 0.

(3) mn = mm = 0,

(4) mn = nm = 0,

Proof.

Suppose B is a BCL-Algebra and m ∈ B

  • (1) Here, the claim is to prove 0 ⊛ m = 0.

    But before proving this part of the proposition, there is a need to prove: 0 ⊛ (0 ⊛ m) = 0, ∀m ∈ B:

    [((mm)m)((mm)m)]((mm)m)=00(0m)=0.

    Hence 0 ⊛ (0 ⊛ m) = 0, ∀ m ∈ B

    Assume, ∀m ∈ B; 0 ⊛ m ≠ 0 and so, let 0 ⊛ m = n, where n ≠ 0.

    But 0 ⊛ (0 ⊛ m) = 0, ∀m ∈ B

    ⇒ 0 ⊛ n = 0, ∀m, n ∈ B and n ≠ 0 arriving at a contradiction to what we assumed.

    Thus 0 ⊛ m = 0, ∀m ∈ B

    Again, by the definition of binary relation on B:

    0 * m = 0 ⇔ 0 ≤ m, ∀m ∈ B so that it tells us that 0 is the least element of B.

  • (2) Supposing m ⊛ 0 = 0, then 0 ⊛ m = 0 and m ⊛ 0 = 0 ⇒ m = 0.

  • (3) Suppose mn = m and from the definition of BCL-Algebra:

    [((mn)w)((mw)n)]((wn)m)=0
    ((mw)(mn))(wm)=0(mn)w=0mw=0m=0

  • (4) Suppose m ⊛ n = n and from the definition of BCL-Algebra:

    [((mn)w)((mw)n)]((wn)m)=0
    ((nw)(wn))(nm)=0(wn)m=0nm=0m=0

3.2 Basic concepts of LiuB-Algebra (LBA.), & LiuB-Subalgebra (LBS.) of LBA

Under this subsection, we introduce new definitions and examples of LBA. and LBS. of LBA., where here the LBA. (L; ⊛, ⊙, 0) is newly defined on the BCL-algebra (B; ⊛, 0), rather than the BCL+-algebra (B; ⊛, 1) as previously defined in Ref. 5, and then LBS. of LBA. is originally defined accordingly.

Definition 3.2.1.

LiuB-algebra (LBA.) is an algebra (L; ⊛, ⊙, 0) in which L is a non-void set, ⊛ and ⊙ are two binary operations defined on L, 0 is constant in L, where for every m, n, w∈ L, the axioms hereunder are true:

  • (1) (L; ⊛, 0) is BCL-algebra;

  • (2) (L; ⊙) is a semi-group (⊙ is associative in L);

  • (3) ⊙ is both right and left distributive over ⊛ or m⊙ (nw) = (mn) ⊛ (mw) and (nw) ⊙ m = (nm) ⊛ (wm)

Proposition 3.2.2.

Let (L; ⊛, ⊙, 0) be a LBA., then the statements hereunder are true for every m, nL:

  • (a) 0 ⊙ 0 = 0

  • (b) 0 ⊙ m = 0 = m ⊙ 0 = 0

  • (c) m ⊙ (nn) = (nn) ⊙ m = 0

Proof.

Suppose (L; ⊛, ⊙, 0) is a LBA. and m, n ∈ L:

  • (a) 0 = (0 ⊙ m) ⊛ (0 ⊙ m) = 0 ⊙ (mm) = 0 ⊙ 0, ∀m ∈ L

  • (b) 0 = (0 ⊙ m) ⊛ (0 ⊙ m) = (0 ⊛ 0) ⊙ m = 0 ⊙ m = (m ⊙ 0) ⊛ (m ⊙ 0) = m ⊙ (0 ⊛ 0) = m ⊙ 0, ∀m ∈ L

  • (c) Holds true by (b) as nn = 0

    Generally, 0 ⊙ 0 = 0 ⊙ m = m ⊙ 0 = 0 = m ⊙ (nn) = (nn) ⊙ m, ∀m, n ∈ L. □

Theorem 3.2.3.

Let (L; ⊛, ⊙, 0) be LBA. and m, n, w ∈ L. So the statements below are true:

  • (i) mnwmwn

  • (ii) mnmwnw

Proof.

Let (L; ⊛, ⊙, 0) be LBA. and let m, n, w ∈ L:

  • (i) mnmn = 0 and (wm) ⊛ (wn) = w ⊙ (mn) = w ⊙ 0 = 0 ⇒ (wm) ⊛ (wn) = 0 ⇒ wmwn = 0

  • (ii) It could also be verified in a similar fashion as in (i) above except here we use left distributive property instead of right distributive property. □

Definition 3.2.4.

Suppose N is a non-void subset of L. Then N is known as LBS. of L iff: for all m, n ∈ N; mn ∈ N and mn ∈ N.

Example 3.2.5.

Assume L = {0, m, n, w} and two binary operations ⊛ and ⊙ on L be defined by the Table 3 below:

Then it easy to check that (L, ⊛, ⊙, 0) is LBA. and we have the following as well:

  • (1) L, {0}, {0, m}, {0, n}, {0, w} are LBSs. of L.

  • (2) {m, n}, {n, w}, {m, w}, {m, n, w}, {0, m, w}, {0, n, w} are not LBSs. of L.

Lemma 3.2.6.

Suppose (L, ⊛, ⊙, 0) is LBA., and N is LBS. of L. Then 0 ∈ N

Proof.

Let m ∈ N ⇒ m ∈ L ⇒ mm = 0 ∈ N □

Definition 3.2.7.

A fuzzy set ηL in LBA. L is known as a fuzzy LBS. of L if the statements

hereunder are fulfilled for every m, n ∈ L:

  • (i) ηL (mn) ≥ min{ηL(m), ηL (n)}

  • (ii) ηL (mn) ≥ min{ηL(m), ηL (n)}.

Example 3.2.8.

Assume L = {0, m, n, w} and let the binary operations ⊛ and ⊙ on L be as defined in Table 3 below and the fuzzy set ηL in L be defined as follows:

ηL(k)={0.9,iffk=00.7,iffk=m0.4,iffk=n,w.

Table 3. Cayley tables of LBA.

0m n w

m 0m w n
n 0w n m
w 0n m w
0m n w

m m 0w n
n n w 0m
w w n m0

Then ηL is fuzzy LBS. of the LBA., L

3.3 Pythagorean Fuzzy LiuB-Subalgebra of LiuB-Algebra

Under this subsection, we introduce definition and give example of Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB- subalgebra (LBS.) of LiuB-Algebra (LBA.), state and prove some properties and theorems of Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of LBA.

For the whole of this subsection and subsequent subsections, we denote LB for the Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. LB = (ηL,τL) of LBA. (L; ⊛, ⊙, 0), unless otherwise specified.

Definition 3.3.1.

A Pythagorean fuzzy set LB = (ηL,τL) in a non-void set L in which the functions ηL: L → [0, 1] and τL: L → [0, 1] define membership degree and non-membership degree respectively in L is known as a Pythagorean fuzzy Liu B-subalgebra (LBS.) of L if the two pairs of statements hereunder are fulfilled for every m, n ∈ L:

  • (i) (ηL (mn))2min{(ηL(m))2, (ηL (n))2} and (τL (mn))2max{(τL(m))2, (τL (n))2}

  • (ii) (ηL (mn))2min{(ηL(m))2, (ηL (n))2} and (τL (mn))2max{(τL(m))2, (τL (n))2}.

Example 3.3.2.

Suppose L = {0, m, n, w} and two binary operations ⊛ and ⊙ on L are given in the Table 3 above:

Let the Pythagorean fuzzy set LB = (ηL,τL) such that

ηL: L → [0, 1] and τL: L → [0, 1] given by:

ηL(k)={0.9,iffk=00.4,iffk=m,n,w.andτL(k)={0.3,iffk=00.7,iffk=m,n,w

Thus we could simply verify that L B is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Lemma 3.3.3.

If LB=(ηL,τL) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L, then ∀ m ∈ L; then (ηL (0))2 ≥ (ηL(m))2 and (τL (0))2 ≤ (τL(m))2.

Proof.

For mL, we have: mm = 0. Then (ηL (0))2 = (ηL (mm))2min{(ηL(m))2, (ηL (m))2} = (ηL (m))2 and (τL (0))2 = (τL (mm))2max{(τL(m))2, (τL (m))2} = (τL(m))2. Hence (ηL (0))2 ≥ (ηL (m))2 and (τL (0))2 ≤ (τL(m))2

Definition 3.3.4.

For a membership fuzzy set; μL: L → [0, 1], let μ¯¯L : L → [0, 1]; where ( μ¯¯L (x))2 = 1 − (μ L(x))2. Then we call such μ¯¯L the square deviation (of μ L).

Theorem 3.3.5.

Let M be a non-void subset of L and L B = (χM,χ¯¯M) , where χM is characteristic function and the square deviation, ( χ¯¯M (k))2 = 1 − ( χM (k))2, then L B is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L iff M is LBS. of L.

Proof.

Suppose χM : M → [0, 1] is characteristic function defined as:

χM(k)={1,iffkM,0,iffkMandχ¯M(k)=(χ¯¯M(k))2={0,iffkM,1,iffkM

Then characteristic function is LBS. of L.

Suppose LB is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

For k, qM we have (χ L (kq))2 ≥ min{(χ L(k))2, (χ L (q))2} = 1

⇒ (χ M (kq))2 ≥ 1 (and (χ M (kq))2 ≤ 1 by definition of χ M) and ( χ¯¯M (kq))2 ≤ 1)

(χM(kq))2=1kqM

Similarly, kqM. Therefore, M is LBS. of L.

Conversely, suppose M is LBS. of L. Since (χ M (0))2 = 1 ⇒ 0 ∈ MM ≠ ∅

Now let k, q ∈ M ⇒ kq∈ M and kq∈ M ⇒ (χL (kq))2 = 1 ≥ min {(χL(k))2, (χL (q))2} and ( χ¯¯M (kq))2 = 0 ≤ max {( χ¯¯M (k))2, ( χ¯¯M (q))2}

Similarly, (χL (kq))2 = 1 ≥ min {(χL(k))2, (χL (q))2} and χ¯¯M (kq))2 = 0 ≤ max {( χ¯¯M (k))2, ( χ¯¯M (q))2}

Thus, LB = (χM,χ¯¯M) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L, similarly true for k in M, q not in M or k, q not in M. □

Theorem 3.3.6.

The intersection of any two Pythagorean fuzzy LBS., L1 B and L2 B of L is also a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Proof.

Let L1B = (ηL1B,τL1B) & L2B = (ηL2B,τL2B) be any two Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Then we need to prove: LTB = (ηL1BηL2B,τL1BτL2B) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

For m,nL,and for thetwo binary operations ∗ and • ofL,we have :

  • (i)

    ((ηL1BηL2B)(mn))2=min{((ηL1B)(mn))2,((ηL2B)(mn))2}min{min{((ηL1B)(m))2,((ηL1B)(n))2},min{((ηL2B)(m))2,((ηL2B)(n))2}}=min{min{((ηL1B)(m))2,((ηL2B)(m))2},min{((ηL1B)(n))2,((ηL2B)(n))2}}=min{((ηL1BηL2B)(m))2,((ηL1BηL2B)(n))2}

  • (ii)

    Similarly ((ηL1BηL2B)(mn))2min{((ηL1BηL2B)(m))2,((ηL1BηL2B)(n))2}

  • (iii) Again, in a similary way we can simply show that:

    ((τL1BτL2B)(mn))2max{((τL1BτL2B)(m))2,((τL1BτL2B)(n))2}
    and
    ((τL1BτL2B)(mn))2max{((τL1BτL2B)(m))2,((τL1BτL2B)(n))2}

Thus, intersection of Pythagorean fuzzy LBSs. of L is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L. □

Corollary 3.3.7.

The intersection, LiB=(iI(ηLiB),iI(τLiB)) of a family of Pythagorean LBS in L is also Pythagorean fuzzy LBS of L, where

iI(ηLiB)(m)=infiI(ηLiB)(m)andiI(τLiB)(m)=supiI(ηLiB)(m)

Remark 3.3.8.

The union of two Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of a LBA. L may not necessarily be Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Example 3.3.9.

Assume L = {0, m, n, w} and two binary operations ⊛ and ⊙ on L as defined in Tables 3 above. Then it is easy to show that (L, ⊛, ⊙, 0) is LBA.

Define two Pythagorean LBS. of LBA., L1 B = (ηL1B,τL1B) and L2 B = (ηL2B,τL2B) as follows:

ηL1B(k)={0.9,iffk=0,0.6,iffk=m,0.4,iffk=n,w,andτL1B(k)={0,iffk=0,0.5,iffk=n,0.3,iffk=m,w,and
ηL2B(k)={0.8,iffk=0,0.7,iffk=m,n,0.5,iffk=w,andτL2B(k)={0.2,iffk=0,0.4,iffk=m,0.6,iffk=n,w.Then
(ηL1BηL2B)(k)={0.9,iffk=0,0.7,iffk=m,n,0.5,iffk=w,and(τL1BτL2B)(k)={0,iffk=0,0.3,iffk=m,w0.5,iffk=n.Then
Hence as mn = w; we have:
((ηL1BηL2B)(mn))2=((ηL1BηL2B)(w))2=(0.5)2=0.25
min{((ηL1BηL2B)(m))2,((ηL1BηL2B)(n))2}=min{(0.7)2,(0.7)2}=0.49
which is false describing that the union of two Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of a LBA. is not necessarily Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of LBA.

Proposition 3.3.10.

Let M be a non-empty subset of LBA. L and ηL be a fuzzy set in a LBA. L such that

ηL(m)={δ,iffmM,ε,iffmMwhereδ,ε[0,1] andδ>εand then(η¯¯L(m))2={1δ2,iffmM,1ε2,iffmM

Then M is LBS. of L iff (ηL,η¯¯L) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L and let η¯¯L(m) = τL (m) .

Proof.

For M is LBS. of L, we prove that (ηL,τL) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Case (i): Let m, n ∈ M ⇒ mn ∈ M

Then ( ηL (m))2 = ( ηL (n))2 = δ2 ⇒ ( ηL (mn))2 = δ2

⇒ ( ηL (mn))2 ≥ δ2 = min{( ηL (m))2, ( ηL (n))2} and similarly

( ηL (mn))2 ≥ δ2 = min{( ηL (m))2, ( ηL (n))2} and in a similar way, we can show

( τL (mn))2 ≤ 1 - δ2 = max{( τL (m))2, ( τL (n))2} and similarly

( τL (mn))2 ≤ 1 - δ2 = max{( τL (m))2, ( τL (n))2}

Case (ii): Let nM, mM (or mM, nM) ⇒ mnM or mnM

Then ( ηL (m))2 = δ2; ( ηL (n))2 = ε2 ⇒ ( ηL (mn))2 = δ2 or ( ηL (mn))2 = ε2 (for mnM)

⇒ ( ηL (mn))2 ≥ ε2 = min{( ηL (m))2, ( ηL (n))2} and similarly

( ηL (mn))2 ≥ ε2= min{( ηL (m))2, ( ηL (n))2} and in a similar way, we can show

( τL (mn))2 ≤ 1 - ε2 = max{( τL (m))2, ( τL (n))2} and similarly

( τL (mn))2 ≤ 1 - ε2 = max{( τL (m))2, ( τL (n))2}

Similar deductions could be obtained when mnM.

Therefore, if M is LBS. of L then (ηL,η¯¯L) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Conversely, suppose (ηL,η¯¯L) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L and let m, nM

⇒ ( ηL (m))2 = ( ηL (n))2 = δ2 ⇒ ( ηL (mn))2 ≥ min{( ηL (m))2, ( ηL (n))2}= δ2 and similarly

( ηL (mn))2 ≥ min{( ηL (m))2, ( ηL (n))2} = δ2 and in a similar way, we can show

( τL (mn))2 ≤ 1 - δ2 = max{( τL (m))2, ( τL (n))2} and similarly

( τL (mn))2 ≤ 1 - δ2 = max{( τL (m))2, ( τL (n))2}

Therefore, M is LBS. of L. □

3.4 Some more Basic Concepts of Pythagorean Fuzzy LiuB-Subalgebras (LBS.)

Let the notations in Table 4 below be for accuracy function a, score function s and degree of indeterminacy π of Intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets and let η (m)^d = η(m) − (η (m))2 and τ(m)d = τ(m) – (τ (m))2 for every m∈L be the membership deviations and non-membership deviations on the membership and non-membership functions ηL and τL of L, respectively.

Table 4. A table showing the comparison between intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets.

No.NotationIntuitionistic Fuzzy SetPythagorean Fuzzy Set
1aaI (m) = η(m) + υ(m)aL (m) = ( ηL2 ηL (m)) + ( υL2 (m))
2ssI (m) = η(m) − υ(m)sL (m) = ( ηL2 (m)) − ( υL2 (m))= aI (m)sI (m)
3π πI (m) = 1 − η(m) + υ(m) = 1 − ηL (m) − υ(m) πL (m) = 1 − ( ηL2 (m))2 + ( υL2 (m))2 = 1 − aL (m)

Then the comparison in the table hold.

Definition 3.4.1.

Let ηLd (m) = ηL (m) − (ηL(m))2 and τLd (m) = τL (m) − (τL(m))2, for every m∈L, be membership deviations and non-membership deviations, respectively.

Then we call Ld = (ηLd, τLd) Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. deviation of L.

Remark 3.4.2.

For ηL in a LBA. L and m in L:

ηL(m)(ηL(m))2andτL(m)(τL(m))2ηL(m)(ηL(m))20andτL(ηL(m)(τL(m)))20ηL(m)(1ηL(m))0andτL(m)(1τL(m))0

Proposition 3.4.3.

Let ∅ ≠ UL such that χU is characteristic function and χ¯U (m) = 1 - χ U(m) is the complement of χ U(m). Then L B = (χ U, χ¯U ) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L iff U is LBS. of L. Furthermore, the accuracy function a U, the score function s U and the degree of indeterminacy π U are respectively hereunder, for every m∈L:

  • (a) aU(m) = 1,

  • (b) sU(m)={1,iffmU,1,iffmU

  • (c) π U(m) = 0

Proof.

Let χU: U → [0, 1] be a characteristic function.

Then the Characteristic function, its complement and its square deviation are give:

χU(m)={1,iffmU,0,iffmU,χ¯U(m)=(χ¯¯U(m))2={0,iffmU,1,iffmU.

We have prove above that L B = (χ U, χ¯U ) or L B = (χ U, χ¯¯U ) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Now we need to prove that U is LBS. of L:

  • (i) Let n, m ∈ U ⇒ χU (n) = χU (m) = 1 and χ¯U (m) = χ¯U (n) = 0 = χ¯¯U (m) = χ¯¯U (n)

    ⇒ = χ¯¯ U (mn) ≥ min{ χ¯¯ U (m), χU (n)} = min{1, 1} = 1 and χ¯¯ U (mn) ≤ max{χ (n), χ (m)} = min{0, 0} = 0

    But χU (mn) ≤ 1 and χ¯¯ (m) ≥ 0, ∀m ∈ L, by the definitions.

    Hence χU (mn) = 1 and χ¯¯ (mn) = 0 ⇒ mnU

  • (ii) Let n, mUnm, mnU (Analogously as in (i) above.)

Hence, U is a LBS. of L, by (i) and (ii) above.

  • (a) The accuracy function:

aU(m)=(χU(m))2+(χ¯¯U(m))2={1+0,iffmU,0+1,iffmU=1,mL.
  • (b) The score function:

sU(m)=(χU(m))2(χ¯¯U(m))2={10,iffmU,01,iffmU={1,iffmU,1,iffmU,mL.
  • (c) The degree of indeterminacy:

πU(m)=1[(χU(m))2+(χ¯¯U(m))2]=0,mL

Theorem 3.4.4.

Let ηL and η¯¯L (its square deviation) be a fuzzy sets in LBA. L such that (ηL (mn))2 = (ηL (n))2 and (ηL (mn))2 = (ηL (n))2.

Then( η¯¯L (mn))2 = ( η¯¯L (n))2 and ( η¯¯L (mn)2 = ( η¯¯L (n))2, ∀m, n∈ L.

Again, LB = (η L, η¯¯ ) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L iff η L and η¯¯ are constants.

Furthermore, the accuracy function aL, the score function sL and the degree of indeterminacy πL are respectively given as follows; ∀mL:

  • (a) aL (m) = 1

  • (b) sL(m) = (ηL (m))21,

  • (c) πL (m) = 0.

Proof.

Suppose (ηL (mn))2 = (ηL (n))2 and ( η¯¯L (mn))2 = ( η¯¯L (n))2

Then ( η¯¯L (mn))2 = 1 − (ηL (mn))2 = 1 − (ηL (n))2 = ( η¯¯L (n))2 and ( η¯¯L (mn))2 = 1 − (ηL (mn))2 = 1 − (ηL (n))2 = ( η¯¯L (n))2

Let L = (ηL, η¯¯L ) be Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L, (n)2

Now we need to verify that ηL and η¯¯ are constants, (or ∀m, n ∈ L, ηL (m) = ηL (n) and then η¯¯L (m) = η¯¯L(n)

Since L = (ηL η¯¯L ) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L, ηL is a fuzzy LBS. of L, and hence by some of the axioms, we have (ηL (0))2 = (ηL (0⊛ m))2 = (ηL(0⊙ m))2, ∀m ∈ L, ⇒ (ηL (0))2 = (ηL (0⊛ m))2 = (ηL (m))2 = (ηL (0⊙ m)) 2, ∀m ∈ L, and again (ηL (0)) 2 = (ηL (0⊛ n))2 = (ηL (0⊙ n))2 = (ηL (n))2, ∀n ∈ L ⇒ (ηL (0))2 = (ηL (m))2 = (ηL (n))2, ∀m, n ∈ L, or (ηL (m))2 = (ηL (n)) 2, ∀m, nL and hence, η L is a constant and analogously, η¯¯L is too.

Conversely, suppose ηL and ηL are constants, or:

(ηL(m))2=(ηL(n))2andηL(m)2=ηL(n)2,m,nL,

Then

(ηL(mn))2=(ηL(n))2and(η¯¯L(mn))2=(η¯¯L(n))2,m,nL,
(ηL(mn))2=(ηL(n))2and(η¯¯L(mn))2=(η¯¯L(n))2,m,nL,

L = (ηL η¯¯L ) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L

  • (i) (η L(m))2 = (ηL(mn))2 = (ηL(n))2 ⇒ (ηL(mn))2 ≥ min{(η L(m))2, (ηL(n))2} and ( η¯¯L (mn))2 ≤ max{( η¯¯L (m))2, ( η¯¯L (n))2}

  • (ii) (ηL(m))2 = (ηL(mn))2 = (ηL(n))2 ⇒ (ηL(mn))2 ≥ min{(ηL(m))2, (ηL(n))2} and ( η¯¯L (mn))2 ≤ max{( η¯¯L (m))2, ( η¯¯L (n))2}

Therefore, by (i) and (ii) above, ηL is a fuzzy LBS. of L so that L = (ηL η¯¯L ) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L. Furthermore:

  • (a) aL(m) = (η L(m))2 + ( η¯¯L (m))2 = (ηL(m))2 + (1 − (ηL(m))2) = 1

  • (b) sL(m) = (ηL(m))2 − ( η¯¯L (m))2 = (ηL(m))2 − (1 − (ηL(m))2) = 2(ηL(m))2 − 1,

  • (c) πL (m) = [1((ηL(m))2+(η¯¯L(m))2]1/2 = (11)1/2 = 0 □

Theorem 3.4.5.

LetLB=(ηL,τL) be Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L and m, n ∈ L.

If (ηL (mn))2 = (ηL (n))2, (τL (mn))2 = (τL (n))2 and (ηL (mn))2 = (ηL (n))2, (τL (mn))2 = (τL (n))2

Then ∀m, n∈ L, the following hold:

  • (1) The accuracy function: aL(m) ≤ 2 – (η (0))2 – (τ (0))2

  • (2) The score function: s(L) ≤ 1 – (ηL (0))2 – (τL (0))2),

  • (3) The degree of indeterminacy: πL (m) is such that

    (πP(m))2(η(0))2+(τ(0))2)1,

Proof.

Let L = (ηL, τL) be a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L;

(ηL(mn))2=(ηL(n))2,and(τL(mn))2=(τL(n))2,
(ηL(mn))2=(ηL(n))2and(τL(mn))2=(τL(n)2)

Since, mL,0=0m=0m

(ηL(0))2=(ηL(0m))2=(ηL(0m))2=(ηL(m))2
(ηL(0))2=(ηL(m))2,mL

⇒ (ηL (0))2 = (ηL (m))2 = (ηL (n))2 = (ηL (w))2, ∀m, n, w∈ L and similarly,

(τL(0))2=(τL(m))2=(τL(n))2=(τL(w))2,m,n,wL.

But 0 ≤ (ηL(m))2 + (τL(m))2 ≤ 1 0 ≤ (ηL(m))2 + (τL (m))2 ≤ 1

(ηL (m))2 ≤ 1 – (τL(0))2, and similarly, (τL (m))2 ≤ 1 – (ηL(0))2,∀m, n, w∈ L.

Then,∀m∈ L, the following hold:

  • (1) The accuracy function:

aL(m)=(ηL(m))2+(τL(m))2(1(ηL(0))2)+(1(τL(0))2)=2(ηL(0))2(τL(0))2
  • (2) The score function:

sL(m)=(ηL(m))2(τL(m))2(1(ηL(0))2)(τL(0))2=1(ηL(0))2(τL(0))2
  • (3) The degree of indeterminacy:

(πL(m)=1(ηL(m))2(τL(m))2=1aL(m)(1[2(ηL(0))2(τL(0))2]=(ηL(0))2+(τL(0))21

Lemma 3.4.6.

In a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. deviation of L, Ld = ( ηLd , τLd ) we have; ηLd : L → [0, 0.25] and τLd : L → [0, 0.25].

Proof.

We prove this following five cases:

Case (i): For ηL

(m)=0ηLd(m)=ηL(m)(ηL(m))2=00=0[0,0.25].
0=ηLd(m)0.25ηLd(m)[0,0.25]

Case (ii): For ηL

(m)=1ηLd(m)=ηL(m)(ηL(m))2=11=0[0,0.25].
0=ηLd(m)0.25ηLd(m)[0,0.25]

Case (iii) For ηL (m) = 0.5 ⇒ ηLd (m) = ηL(m) – (ηL(m))2 = 0.5 – 0.25 = 0.25

ηLd(m)=0.25ηLd(m)[0,0.25]

Case (iv): For ηL (m) = 0.5 + ε, where ε ∈ [0, 0.5]

(η(m))2=(0.5+ε)2=0.25+ε+ε2
ηLd(m)=ηL(m)(ηL(m))2=0.5+ε(0.25+ε+ε2)=0.25ε20.25
ηLd(m)[0,0.25]

Case (v): For ηL (m) = 0.5 – ε, where ε ∈ [0, 0.5]

ηLd(m)=ηL(m)(ηL(m))2=0.5ε(0.25ε+ε2)=0.25ε20.25
ηLd(m)[0,0.25]

Now, suppose ηLd (m)> 0.25 ⇒ ηLd (m)= ηL (m) − ( ηL (m))2 >0.25

⇒ − (ηL(m))2 + ηL (m) – 0.25> 0 and this quadratic inequality has no real solution

so that there is no ηL (m) satisfying this inequality under the real number system and hence ηLd ∈ [0, 0.25]

Therefore, by the above five cases, we have exhaustively shown that ηd ∈ [0, 0.25].

Following similar steps for τLd as ηLd above, we can easily show that τd ∈ [0, 0.25]. □

Theorem 3.4.7.

If L B = (ηL, τL) is a Pythagorean fuzzy LBS.of L so that the ordered pairs below are each also Pythagorean fuzzy Liu B-subalgebras

  • (1) (ηL, η¯¯L )

  • (2) ( τ¯¯L , τL)

  • (3) ( τ¯¯L , η¯¯L )

Proof.

  • 1. (ηL, τ¯¯L ) are Pair of LBSs. of L.

    Recall that (ηL, η¯¯L ) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L as previously proved above and then (τL, τ¯¯L ,) is also Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L

    By the hypothesis, LB = ( η¯¯L , τ¯¯L ) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L

  • 2. Then ( τ¯¯L , η¯¯L ) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L. To confirm that, if say ( η¯¯L , τ¯¯L ) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L; ηL and τL are membership and non-membership functions respectively where ( η¯¯L , τ¯¯L ) is ordered pair of corresponding square deviations and then ( τ¯¯L , η¯¯L ) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

For clarity, suppose (ηLτL) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L such that ( ( η¯¯L, τ¯¯L) . ) is ordered pair of the corresponding square deviations. Then
(ηL(mn))2min{(ηL(m))2,(ηL(n))2}and
(ηL(mn))2min{(ηL(m))2,(ηL(n))2}  and
(ηL(mn))2min{(ηL(m))2,(ηL(n))2}and
(ηL(mn))2min{(ηL(m))2,(ηL(n))2}
1(ηL(mn))21min{(ηL(m))2,(ηL(n))2}and
1(ηL(mn))21min{(ηL(m))2,(ηL(n))2}
(η¯¯L(mn))2max{(η¯¯L(m))2,(η¯¯L(n))2}and
(η¯¯L(mn))2max{(η¯¯L(m))2,(η¯¯L(n))2}

That means ηL is membership function guides to η¯¯L as non-membership function and hence (ηL,η¯¯L) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Now going back steps from the last to the first of the preceding steps for non-membership function τL

To get membership function τ¯¯L , we have ( τ¯¯L , τ L) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L.

Therefore, (ηL,τL) is Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L implies ( τ¯¯L , η¯¯L ) is also Pythagorean fuzzy LBS. of L, and hence all the claims in this theorem hold true. □

4. Conclusion

In this article, new results as LiuB-algebra defined based on BCL-algebra (not based on BCL+- algebra unlike Liu-algebra which has been defined based on BCL+-algebra), LiuB-subalgebra, fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra and Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra in depth, which have not been introduced so far, introduced, and following all these new introductions, some new results are obtained. We state and prove new properties and theorems (specially as widely as possible for Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra of LiuB-Algebra) which yield new fuzzified results which have not been addressed so far. Under Pythagorean fuzzy LiuB-subalgebra, we also examine the complement of fuzzy set, the square deviation, the accuracy function, score function and degree of indeterminacy associated with some of the properties of LiuB-subalgebra of LiuB-algebra and some interesting results are obtained.
