In this paper, we introduce the concept of relative fuzzy annihilator ideals in C-algebras and investigate some its properties. We characterize relative fuzzy annihilators in terms of fuzzy points. It is proved that the class of fuzzy ideals of C-algebras forms Heything algebra. We observe that the class of all fuzzy annihilator ideals can be made as a complete Boolean algebra. Moreover, we study the concept of fuzzy annihilator preserving homomorphism. We provide a sufficient condition for a homomorphism to be a fuzzy annihilator preserving. element Boolean algebras B and C are the only subdirectly 1.

Many papers on fuzzy algebras have been published since In this paper, we study the concept of relative fuzzy Rosenfeld [5] introduced the concept of fuzzy group in annihilator ideals in C-algebras. We characterize relative 1971. In particular, fuzzy subgroups of a group (see fuzzy annihilators in terms of fuzzy points. Using the [6–8]), fuzzy ideals of lattices and MS-algebra (see concept of the relative fuzzy annihilator, we prove that [9–16]), fuzzy ideals of C-algebras (see [17, 18]), and the class of fuzzy ideals of C-algebras forms the Heything intuitionistic fuzzy ideals of BCK-algebra, BG-algebra, algebra. We also study fuzzy annihilator ideals. Basic and BCI-algebra (see [19–21]). properties of fuzzy annihilator ideals are also studied. It is On the contrary, Guzman and Squier, in [22], introduced shown that the class of all fuzzy annihilator ideals forms a the variety of C-algebras as the variety generated by the complete Boolean algebra.

Preliminaries Definition 2 (see [22]). An element z of a C-algebra A is called a left zero for ∧ if z ∧ x � z, for all x ∈ A. In this section, we recall some definitions and basic results on c−algebras. Definition 3 (see [26]). A nonempty subset I of a C-algebra A is called an ideal of A if Definition 1 (see [22]). An algebra (A, ∨ , ∧ , ) of type (1) a, b ∈ I⇒a ∨ b, a ∧ x ∈ I (2, 2, 1) is called a c-algebra if it satisfies the following axioms: (2) a ∈ I⇒x ∧ a ∈ I, for each x ∈ A. (1) a � b It can also be observed that a ∧ x ∈ I, for all a ∈ I and all x ∈ A. For any subset S ⊆ A, the smallest ideal of A con- ′ ′ ′ (2) (a ∧ b) � a ∨ b taining S is called the ideal of A generated by S and is (3) (a ∧ b) ∧ c � a ∧ (b ∧ c) denoted by 〈S]. Note that (4) a ∧ (b ∨ c) � (a ∧ b) ∨ (a ∧ c) 〈S] � ∨ (y ∧ x ): y ∈ A, x ∈ S, i � 1, . . . , n i i i i (5) (a ∨ b) ∧ c � (a ∧ c) ∨ (a ∧ b ∧ c) for some n ∈ Z } If S � {a}, then we write 〈a] for 〈S]. In this case, (6) a ∨ (a ∧ b) � a 〈a] � {x ∧ a: x ∈ A}. Moreover, it is observed in [26] that (7) (a ∧ b) ∨ (b ∧ a) � (b ∧ a) ∨ (a ∧ b), for all a, b, c ∈ A the set I � x ∧ x : x ∈ A is the smallest ideal in A. ′ ′ ′ ′ Definition 4. Let (A, ∨ , ∧ , , I ) and (A , ∨ , ∧ , , I ) be two Example 1. ,e three-element algebra C � {T, F, U} with the 0 0 operations given by by the following tables is a C-algebra.

I and I are the smallest ideals of the C-algebras A and 0 0 A , respectively. ,e kernel of the homomorphism is defined as Kerf � x ∈ A: f(x) ∈ I . Remember that, for any set A, a function μ: A ⟶ [0, 1] is called a fuzzy subset of A. For each t ∈ [0, 1], the set, μ � x ∈ A: μ(x) ≥ t , (1) is called the level subset of μ at t [30]. For numbers α and β in [0, 1], we write α∧β for min α, β and α ∨ β for max α, β . Note: the identities 2.1 (a) and 2.1 (b) imply that the variety of C-algebras satisfies all the dual statements of 2.1 Definition 5 (see [17]). A fuzzy subset λ of A is called a fuzzy (2) to 2.1 (7) in this view. ideal of A if Lemma 1 (see [22]). Every C−algebra satisfies the following (1) λ(z) � 1, for all z ∈ I identities: (2) λ(a ∨ b) ≥ λ(a) ∧ λ(b) (1) x ∧ x � x (3) λ(a ∨ b) ≥ λ(b), for all a, b ∈ A ′ ′ (2) x ∧ x � x ∧ x We denote the class of all fuzzy ideals of A by FI(A). (3) x ∧ y ∧ x � x ∧ y ′ ′ (4) x ∧ x ∧ y � x ∧ x Lemma 2 (see [17]). Let λ be a fuzzy ideal of A. 6en, the following hold, for all a, b ∈ A: (5) x ∧ y � (x ∨ y) ∧ x (6) x ∧ y � x ∧ (y ∨ x ) (1) λ(a ∧ b) ≥ λ(a) (7) x ∧ y � x ∧(x ∨ y) (2) λ(a ∧ b) ≥ λ(b ∧ a) ′ ′ (8) x ∧ y ∧ x � x ∧ y ∧ y (3) λ(a ∧ x ∧ b) ≥ λ(a ∧ b), for each x ∈ A (9) (x ∨ y) ∧ x � x ∨ (y ∧ x) (4) λ(a) ≥ λ(a ∨ b); hence, λ(a) ∧ λ(b) ∧ λ(b ∨ a) ′ ′ ′ (10) x ∧ (x ∨ x) � (x ∨ x) ∧ x � (x ∨ x ) ∧ x (5) If x ∈ (a], then λ(x) ≥ λ(a) Advances in Fuzzy Systems 3 Let μ be a fuzzy subset of A. ,en, the fuzzy ideal ,e class of fuzzy ideals of a C-algebra is denoted by generated by μ is denoted by (μ].
