Some results on state ideals in state residuated lattices.

In a large number of multivalued logic and fuzzy logic of algebraic systems, residuated lattices play a prominent role and have considerable applications. States operators have been introduced on residuated lattices, and their properties are useful for the development of an algebraic theory of probabilistic models of those algebras. In this paper, we introduce the notion of state ideal in the framework of state residuated lattices, investigate some related properties, and provide several examples. Also, we present two types of state residuated lattices: state i-simple residuated lattices and state i-local residuated lattices, and characterize them. Moreover, the relationship between state ideals and state filters is analyzed using the set of complement elements. Furthermore, we prove that the lattice of all state ideals of a given state residuated lattice is a complete lattice. The notion of obstinate state ideals in state residuated lattices is also introduced, and several characterizations are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
