Derived Operations in Goguen Categories

Michael Winter

Goguen categories were introduced in as a suitable categorical description of ${\mathcal L}$-fuzzy relations, i.e., of relations taking values from an arbitrary complete Brouwerian lattice ${\mathcal L}$ instead of the unit interval $[0,1]$ of the real numbers. In this paper we want to study operations on morphisms of a Goguen category which are derived from suitable binary functions on the underlying lattice of scalar elements, i.e., on the abstract counterpart of ${\mathcal L}$.

Keywords: Goguen category, Fuzzy Relation, Dedekind category.
