The notion of a fuzzy set, as proposed by L.A. Zadeh[90] in 1965 to provide a
foundation for the evolution of many areas of knowledge. After then in quick
succession, L-fuzzy sets were introduced by Goguen[24] in 1967. As a result, this
provides a natural frame work for generalizing many algebraic and topological
concepts in various directions such as L-fuzzy sets, fuzzy logics, fuzzy control,
fuzzy groups, fuzzy rings, fuzzy vector spaces, fuzzy topology, fuzzy bitopology,
L-topology etc. Many other branches of mathematics have been developed all over
the world during the last five decades. Chang [12] first introduced and studied the
concept of a fuzzy topological space by using the fuzzy set in 1968. Hutton[31-34]
,Reilly[33-34],Wong [83-84], Lowen[47-48], Srivastava[73-79], Dude[16-17],
Cutler[14], Ying[88], Ali[2-9], Hossain[26-30], Pu and Liu[53-54], etc., discussed
and developed various aspects of fuzzy topological spaces. Ying [88] introduced
fuzzifying topology and developed this in a new direction with the semantic
methods of continuous valued logic. With the help of fuzzifying topology,
Sinha[69-70] introduced and studied T0, T1, T2-(Hausdorff), T3-(regular), T4-
(normal), separation axioms. Mashhour et al. [51-52] introduced and studied the
concepts of the family of fuzzifying semi-open sets, fuzzifying neighbourhood
structure of a point and fuzzifying semi-closure of a fuzzy set................. |
