Abstract

The purpose of this study was to introduce the inner product over fuzzy matrices. By virtue of this definition, -norm is defined and the parallelogram law is proved. Again the relative fuzzy norm with respect to the inner product over fuzzy matrices is defined. Moreover Cauchy Schwarz inequality, Pythagoras, and Fundamental Minimum Principle are established. Some equivalent conditions are also proved.

1. Introduction

The concept of fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh [1] in 1965. Biswas [2] and El-Abyad and El-Hamouly [3] first tried to give a meaningful definition of fuzzy inner product space and associated fuzzy norm function. Also those definitions are restricted to the real linear space only. Felbin [4], Ragab, and Emam [5] introduced fuzzy 2-normed linear spaces. Meenakshi and Cokilavany [6], Bag and Samanta [7], and so forth have given different definitions of fuzzy normed linear spaces. Gani and Kalyani [8] introduced the concept of binormed sequences in fuzzy matrices. Gani and Kalyani [9] introduced the properties of fuzzy -norm matrices. Gani and Kalyani Introduced the definition of fuzzy equivalence relation. Recently Majumdar and Samanta [10] and Hasankhani et al. [11] have introduced a definition of fuzzy inner product space whose associated norm is of Felbin type. Somasundaram and Beaula [12] defined the 2-fuzzy 2-normed linear space. Some standard results in fuzzy 2-normed linear spaces were extended. The organization of the paper is as follows. Section 2 provides some preliminary results which are used in this paper. In Section 3, we study some results on inner product over fuzzy matrices and the parallelogram law is proved. Section 4 is devoted to establishing Cauchy Schwarz inequality, Pythagoras, and Fundamental Minimum Principle theorem in fuzzy setting.

In this paper, we have introduced the new concept of inner product over fuzzy matrices on , the set of all fuzzy sets of . We introduce the notion of -norm on an inner product over fuzzy matrices. With the help of it, the standard parallelogram law is proved. Some important results on inner product over fuzzy matrices are proved. Moreover Cauchy Schwarz inequality, Pythagoras, and Fundamental Minimum Principle are established. Some equivalent conditions are also proved.

Let denote the set of all fuzzy matrices over . In short, is the set of all fuzzy matrices of order . Define “+” and scalar multiplication in as , where and , and , where is in ; with these operations forms a linear space.
