Strong fuzzy subsethood measures and strong equalities via implication functions

In this work we present the definition of strong fuzzy subsethood measure as a unifiying concept for the different notions of fuzzy subsethood that can be found in the literature. We analyze the relations of our new concept with the definitions by Kitainik ( [20]), Young ( [26]) and Sinha and Dougherty ( [23]) and we prove that the most relevant properties of the latter are preserved. We show also several construction methods. © 2014 Old City Publishing, Inc.
