Abstract
In this paper a new definition for fuzzy inner product spaces is presented. Just as the set of real numbers can be embedded in a set of fuzzy numbers, a crisp inner product space can be considered as a special case of fuzzy inner product spaces. An example is given to demonstrate that, the new definition is a nontrivial generalization for the crisp inner product spaces. Under certain restrictions, a fuzzy inner product space can become a fuzzy normed space. Based on some elementary properties for the families of semi-inner products of endpoints, the linearly topological structure of new spaces is discussed. Moreover, the orthogonality between two vectors is considered and a fuzzy version of Pythagorean theorem is given.
期刊介绍:
Since its launching in 1978, the journal Fuzzy Sets and Systems has been devoted to the international advancement of the theory and application of fuzzy sets and systems. The theory of fuzzy sets now encompasses a well organized corpus of basic notions including (and not restricted to) aggregation operations, a generalized theory of relations, specific measures of information content, a calculus of fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy sets are also the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling: fuzzy rule-based systems. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies.
In mathematics fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory, topology, algebra, analysis. Fuzzy sets are also part of a recent trend in the study of generalized measures and integrals, and are combined with statistical methods. Furthermore, fuzzy sets have strong logical underpinnings in the tradition of many-valued logics.
