On unification of categories associated with F -transforms and fuzzy pretopological spaces as Qua category
Abha Tripathi, S. P. Tiwari
TL;DR
This work addresses unifying categories linked to F-transforms and fuzzy pretopological spaces by formulating Qua, a category of success measures of answers and transformations. It develops and relates four core categories—LSpaceFP, LFtrans_downarrow, LFPrTop, and LFCInt—through isomorphisms and adjoint functors, and embeds them into Qua to illuminate their connections. The paper also constructs and relates fuzzy lower transformation systems and lower/upper pretopologies within Qua, establishing a network of functors that connect these perspectives. The resulting framework offers a principled, category-theoretic lens for unifying transform-based and topology-based fuzzy structures, with adjoint pairs suggesting robust dualities and potential generalizations to broader fuzzy-relational settings.
Abstract
In this contribution, our motive is to unify the categories associated with F-transforms and fuzzy pretopological spaces as a new category Qua, whose object classes are success measurements of answers and morphisms are pairs of success measurements of transformations. Specifically, the categories of spaces with L-valued fuzzy partitions, L-valued fuzzy lower transformation systems, L-valued fuzzy pretopological spaces, and Cech L-valued fuzzy interior spaces with the morphisms as pairs of L-valued fuzzy relations between the underlying sets of corresponding objects have intriguing relationships with the category Qua.
