In this paper, we present the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras by applying the concept of shift UP-filters to bipolar fuzzy sets and investigating their essential properties. In UP-algebras, we found that every bipolar fuzzy strong UP-ideal is a bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filter, and every bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filter is a bipolar fuzzy UP-filter. An important relationship between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and their bipolar fuzzy characteristic functions is presented. The relations between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and other shift UP-filters (fuzzy and neutrosophic shift UP-filters) are given. Finally, characterizations of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters are investigated in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets.

BCK-algebras [1], BCI-algebras [2], BCH-algebras [3], KU-algebras [4], PSRU-algebras [5], UP-algebras [6], and other algebraic structures have been the subject of several academic projects. They are inextricably linked to logic. For example, BCI-algebras were introduced by Iséki [1] in 1966 and have linkages with BCI-logic, which is the BCI-system in combinatory logic and has applications in functional programming. BCK- and BCI-algebras are two classes of logical algebras. Imai and Iséki [2] introduced them in 1966, and many scholars have examined them. BCK-algebras are a proper subclass of BCI-algebras, as is well known. Prabpayak and Leerawat [4] established the notion of KU-algebras in 2009. KU-algebras were extended to UP-algebras by Iampan [6] in 2017.

The concept of a fuzzy set in a nonempty set was first considered by Zadeh [7]. The fuzzy set theories developed by Zadeh and others have shown many mathematical structures to solve uncertainties. The concept of fuzzy set was developed in fuzzy set theory, for example, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets, and vague sets. The fuzzy set was extended by the bipolar-valued fuzzy set whose membership degree range is [−1, 0] ∪ [0, 1], which was of interest to Zhang in 1994 [8]. In 2008, Jun and Song [9] used the concept of bipolar fuzzy sets in BCH-algebras. Many researchers have studied bipolar fuzzy sets in algebraic structures; in 2011, Lee and Jun [10] studied bipolar fuzzy a-ideals of BCI-algebras, and in 2012, Jun et al. [11] studied bipolar fuzzy CI-algebras. In 2021, Muhiuddin and Al-Kadi [12] studied bipolar fuzzy implicative ideals of BCK-algebras. Gaketem and Khamrot [13] introduced the concept of bipolar fuzzy weakly interior ideals of semigroups. The relationships between bipolar fuzzy weakly interior ideals and bipolar fuzzy left (right) ideals and between bipolar fuzzy weakly interior ideals and bipolar fuzzy interior ideals have also been discussed. Gaketem et al. [14] introduced the concept of bipolar fuzzy implicative UP-filters (BFIUPFs) in UP-algebras.

To extend the concept of shift UP-filters of UP-algebras introduced by Jun and Iampan [15] in 2019 and bipolar fuzzy set theory applied to UP-algebras by Kawila et al. [16] in 2018, in this paper, we present the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras by applying the concept of shift UP-filters to bipolar fuzzy sets and investigate its essential properties. The relations between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and other shift UP-filters (fuzzy and neutrosophic shift UP-filters) are given. Finally, characterizations of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters are investigated in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets.

First, we start with the definition of UP-algebras as follows:

Definition 2.1 ([6])

A UP-algebra is defined as ( ) of type (2, 0), where is a nonempty set, 0 is a fixed element of , and ⊠ is a binary operation on if it satisfies the following four conditions:

(for all t,v,x,T)((vx)((tv)(tx))=0),(for all tT)(0t=t),(for all tT)(t0=0),(for all t,vT)(tv=0,vt=0t=v).

According to [6], UP-algebras are a generalization of the concept of KU-algebras (see [4]). Unless otherwise indicated, let denote the UP-algebra ( ). The binary relation ≤ on is defined as follows:

(for all t,vT)(tvtv=0)

and the following statements are true (see [6, 17]):

(for all tT)(tt),(for all t,v,xT)((tv,vx)tx),(for all t,v,xT)(tvxtxv,)(for all t,v,xT)(tvvxtx),(for all t,v,xT)(tvt,in particular,vxt(vx)),(for all t,vT)(vttt=vt),(for all t,vT)(tvv),(for all a,t,v,xT)(t(vx)t((av)(ax))),(for all a,t,v,xT)(((at)(av))x(tv)x),(for all t,v,xT)((tv)xvx),(for all t,v,xT)(tvtxv),(for all t,v,xT)((tv)xt(vx)),(for all a,t,v,xT)((tv)xv(ax)).

Definition 2.2 ([15])

A nonempty subset of is called a shift UP-filter (SUPF) of if

0G,(for all t,v,xT)(t(vx)G,tG((xv)v)xG).

Theorem 2.3 ([15])

If is a family of SUPFs of , then is an SUPF of .

A fuzzy set (FS) α in a nonempty set is a function from to the closed unit interval [0, 1] of real numbers, i.e., . A bipolar fuzzy set (BFS) ϖ [8] in a nonempty set is an object of the form

ϖ:={(t,ϖN(t),ϖP(t))tG},

where and . We use the symbol ϖ = (ϖNP ) for the for simplicity. The concept of BFSs is an extension of that of FSs. In 2018, Kawila et al. [16] introduced the concepts of a bipolar fuzzy UP-filter and bipolar fuzzy strong UP-ideal of as follows.

Definition 2.4 ([16])

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is called

  • (1) a bipolar fuzzy UP-filter (BFUPF) of if the following four conditions hold:


    (for all tT)(ϖN(0)ϖN(t)),(for all tT)(ϖP(0)ϖP(t)),(for all t,vT)(ϖN(v)max{ϖN(tv),ϖN(t)}),(for all t,vT)(ϖP(v)min{ϖP(tv),ϖP(t)}),

  • (2) a bipolar fuzzy strong UP-ideal (BFSUPI) of if the conditions (21), (22), and the following hold :


    (for all t,v,xT)(ϖN(t)max{ϖN((xv)(xt)),ϖN(v)}),

    (for all t,v,xT)(ϖP(t)min{ϖP((xv)(xt)),ϖP(v)}).

Theorem 2.5 ([16])

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is a BFSUPI of if and only if ϖ is constant.

Example 2.6

Consider an UP-algebra with the following Cayley table:

0qtvx
00wtvx
q00tvx
t000vx
v0000x
x000w0

  • (1) Define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

    0qtvx
    ϖN0.80.60.60.10.1
    ϖP0.70.50.50.30.3

    Then, ϖ is a BFUPF of but not a BFSUPI.

  • (2) Define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

    0qtvx
    ϖN0.80.80.80.80.8
    ϖP0.60.60.60.60.6

    Then, ϖ is a BFSUPI.

In this section, we introduce the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras and discuss its properties. Moreover, one characterization of a shift UP-filter is investigated using the bipolar fuzzy characteristic function.

Definition 3.1

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is called a bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filter (BFSUPF) of if the conditions (21), (22), and the following hold:

(for all t,v,xT)(ϖN(((xv)v)x)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}),(for all t,v,xT)(ϖP(((xv)v)x)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}).

Example 3.2

Consider a UP-algebra with the following Cayley table:

0qtvx
00qtvx
q00tvx
t000tx
v0000x
x0qtv0

Define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

0qtvx
ϖN0.40.40.30.30.3
ϖP0.70.70.50.50.5

Then, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

Theorem 3.3

Every BFSUPI of is a BFSUPF of .

Proof

Suppose that ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFSUPI of . By Theorem 2.5, we get that ϖ is constant. Then, ϖN(0) = ϖN(t),ϖP (0) = ϖP (t),ϖN(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) = max{ϖN(t⊠(vx))N(t)}, and ϖP (((xv)⊠v)⊠x) = min{ϖP (t⊠(vx))P (t)} for all . Hence, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

In general, the converse of Theorem 3.3 is not true, as shown below.

Example 3.4

From Example 3.2, we have ϖ is a BFSUPF but not a BFSUPI of .

Theorem 3.5

Each BFSUPF of is a BFUPF of .

Proof

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFSUPF of . Then, ϖ satisfies the conditions (21) and (22). Next, let . Thus,

ϖN(v)=ϖN(((v0)0)v)max{ϖN(t(0v)),ϖN(t)}=max{ϖN(tv),ϖN(t)},

and

ϖP(v)=ϖP(((v0)0)v)min{ϖP(t(0v)),ϖP(t)}=min{ϖP(tv),ϖP(t)}.

Hence, ϖ is a BFUPF of .

In general, the converse of Theorem 3.5 is not true, as shown below.

Example 3.6

Consider the UP-algebra in Example 3.2, and define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

0qtvx
ϖN−0.8−0.6−0.5−0.50
ϖP0.70.60.30.30.5

Then, the BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFUPF but not a BFSUPF of . Indeed,

ϖN(((qt)t)q)=-0.6>-0.8=max{ϖN(0(tq)),ϖN(0)},

and

ϖP(((qt)t)q)=0.6<0.7=min{ϖP(0(tq)),ϖP(0))}.

From Theorems 3.3 and 3.5 and Examples 3.4 and 3.6, we find that a BFUPF is a general concept of a BFSUPF, and a BFSUPF is a general concept of a BFSUPI.

Theorem 3.7

If ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFSUPF of , then the set and ϖP (t) = ϖP (0)} is an SUPF of .

Proof

Clearly, 0 ∈ ϖ0. Let t, v, x be such that t ⊠ (vx) ∈ ϖ0 and tϖ0. Then, ϖN(t) = ϖN(t ⊠ (vx)) = ϖN(0) and ϖP (t) = ϖP (t ⊠ (vx)) = ϖP (0). Thus,

ϖN(0)ϖN(((xv)v)x)    by (21)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}    by (27)=max{ϖN(0),ϖN(0)}=ϖN(0),

and

ϖP(0)ϖP(((xv)v)x)    by (22)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}    by (28)=min{ϖP(0),ϖP(0)}=ϖP(0).

That is, ϖN(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) = ϖN(0) and ϖP (((xv)⊠ v) ⊠ x) = ϖP (0), and thus, ((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ xϖ0. Hence, ϖ0 is an SUPF of .

If is a subset of , then the bipolar fuzzy characteristic function of is denoted and defined as follows: ϖG=(ϖNG,ϖPG), where for all ,

ϖPG(t)={1,if tG,0,otherwise,

and

ϖNG(t)={-1,if tG,0,otherwise.

Theorem 3.8

A nonempty subset of is an SUPF of if and only if ϖG=(ϖNG,ϖPG) is a BFSUPF of .

Proof. (⇒)

Assume that is an SUPF of . Then, , which implies that ϖNG(0)=-1ϖNG(t) and ϖPG(0)=1ϖPG(t) for all . Thus, the conditions (21) and (22) hold. To show that the conditions (27) and (28) hold, let . If and , then ϖNG(t(vx))=ϖNG(t)=-1 and ϖPG(t(vx))=ϖPG(t)=1. By the assumption, we get Thus,

ϖNG(((xv)v)x)=-1=max{ϖNG(t(vx)),ϖNG(t)},

and

ϖPG(((xv)v)x)=1=min{ϖPG(t(vx)),ϖPG(t)}.

On the contrary, suppose that or . Thus,

max{ϖNG(t(vx)),ϖNG(t)}=0ϖNG(((xv)v)x)

and

min{ϖPG(t(vx)),ϖPG(t)}=0ϖPG(((xv)v)x).

Hence, we have the conditions (27) and (28). Therefore, we obtain that is a BFSUPF of .

(⇐) Assume that is a BFSUPF of . Because is nonempty, we obtain ϖNG(0)ϖNG(t)=-1 when , which implies that . Let and . Then, ϖNG(t)=ϖNG(t(vx))=-1. By this assumption, we have

ϖNG(((xv)v)x)max{ϖNG(t(vx)),ϖNG(t)}=-1.

Thus, . Hence, is an SUPF of .

In this section, we characterize bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets and find their relationships.

Definition 4.1

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS in a nonempty set and (r, r+) ∈ [−1, 0] × [0, 1]. The subsets LN(ϖ;r-),UN(ϖ;r-),LP(ϖ;r+), and UP(ϖ;r+) of , defined by

LN(ϖ;r-)={tGϖN(t)r-},UN(ϖ;r-)={tGϖN(t)r-},LP(ϖ;r+)={tGϖP(t)r+},UP(ϖ;r+)={tGϖP(t)r+},

are called the negative lower r-level subset, negative upper r-level subset, positive lower r+-level subset, and positive upper r+-level subset of ϖ of , respectively.

Theorem 4.2

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS in . Then, ϖ is a BFSUPF of if and only if for all (r, r+) ∈ [−1, 0] × [0, 1], we have the following:

  • (i) the subset LN(ϖ;r-) is a SUPF of if LN(ϖ;r-) and

  • (ii) the subset UP(ϖ;r+) is a SUPF of if UP(ϖ;r+).

Proof. (⇒)

Assume that ϖ is a BFSUPF of . Let r ∈ [−1, 0] be such that LN(ϖ;r-), and let pLN(ϖ;r-). By using Eq. (21), we obtain ϖN(0) ≤ ϖN(p) ≤ r. Then 0LN(ϖ;r-). It is shown that condition (19) holds. To show that condition (20) holds, let be such that t⊠ (vx), tLN(ϖ;r-). Then, ϖN(t ⊠ (vx)) ≤ r and ϖN(t) ≤ r. By using Eq. (27), we obtain

ϖN(((xv)v)x)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}r-.

Thus, ((xv)v)xLN(ϖ;r-). Hence, condition (20) holds. Therefore, we find that LN(ϖ;r-) is an SUPF of .

Let r+ ∈ [0, 1] be such that UP(ϖ;r+). If pUP(ϖ;r+), then by using Eq. (22), we obtain ϖP (0) ≥ ϖP (p) ≥ r+, which implies that 0UP(ϖ;r+). Thus, condition (19) is true. Next, we show that condition (20) is true. Suppose that and t ⊠ (vx), tUP(ϖ;r+). Then, ϖP (t ⊠ (vx)) ≥ r+ and ϖP (t) ≥ r+. By using Eq. (28), we have

ϖP(((xv)v)x)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}r+.

Thus, ((xv)v)xUP(ϖ;r+). Hence, condition (20) holds. Therefore, UP(ϖ;r+) is an SUPF of .

(⇐) Suppose that for all r ∈ [−1, 0], LN(ϖ;r-) is an SUPF of if LN(ϖ;r-) is nonempty and for all r+ ∈ [0, 1], UP(ϖ;r+) is an SUPF of if UP(ϖ;r+) is nonempty. Let . Then, tLN(ϖ;ϖN(t)) and tUP(ϖ;ϖP(t)). Thus, LN(ϖ;ϖN(t)) and UP(ϖ;ϖP(t)) are SUPFs of . Using Eq. (19), we have 0LN(ϖ;ϖN(t)) and 0UP(ϖ;ϖP(t)). Thus, ϖN(0) ≤ ϖN(t) and ϖP (0) ≥ ϖP (t). Hence, conditions (21) and (22) hold. Next, we show that condition (27) holds. Let and choose r = max{ϖN(t⊠(vx))N(t)}. Then,ϖN(t⊠ (vx)) ≤ r and ϖN(t) ≤ r. Thus, t ⊠ (vx), tLN(ϖ;r-). Using Eq. (20), we have ((xv)v)xLN(ϖ;r-). Thus,

ϖN(((xv)v)x)r-=max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}.

We have shown that condition (27) holds. Finally, to show that condition (28) holds, suppose that and choose r+ = min{ϖP (⊠(vx))P (t)}. Then, ϖP (t⊠ (vx)) ≥ r+ and ϖP (t) ≥ r+. Thus, t ⊠ (vx), tUP(ϖ;r+). Therefore, UP(ϖ;r+) is an SUPF of . By using Eq. (20) again, we obtain ((xv)v)xUP(ϖ;r+). Thus,

ϖP(((xv)v)x)r+=min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}.

Hence, condition (28) holds. It follows from Definition 3.1 that ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

For any r ∈ [0, 1], the set

C(ϖ;r)=LN(ϖ;-r)UP(ϖ;r)

is called the r-level subset of .

Corollary 4.3

If ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFSUPF of , then C(ϖ; r) is an SUPF of for all r ∈ [0, 1] when C(ϖ; r) is nonempty.

Proof

This follows from Theorems 2.3 and 4.2.

Remark 4.4

If is a nonempty subset of , then G=C(ϖG;1)=LN(ϖG;-1)=UP(ϖG;1).

Corollary 4.5

A nonempty subset of is an SUPF of if and only if there exist a BFSUPF ϖ = (ϖNP ) of and r ∈ [0, 1] such that

G=C(ϖ;ρ)=LN(ϖ;-r)=UP(ϖ;r).
Proof

This follows from Theorem 3.8, Corollary 4.3, and Remark 4.4.

For a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in a nonempty set , the BFS ϖ¯=(ϖN¯,ϖP¯) defined by

ϖN¯(t)=-1-ϖN(t)and ϖP¯(t)=1-ϖP(t)

for all , and ϖ̄ is called the complement of .

Lemma 4.6 ([14])

For each BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in and element (r, r+) of [−1, 0] × [0, 1], the following hold:

  • (i) LN(ϖ¯;r-)=UN(ϖ;-1-r-),

  • (ii) LP(ϖ¯;r+)=UP(ϖ;1-r+),

  • (iii) UN(ϖ¯;r-)=LN(ϖ;-1-r-), and

  • (iv) UP(ϖ¯;r+)=LP(ϖ;1-r+).

Theorem 4.7

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS in . Then, the BFS ϖ¯=(ϖN¯,ϖP¯) in is a BFSUPF of if and only if for all (r, r+) ∈ [−1, 0] × [0, 1], we have

  • (i) the subset UN(ϖ;r-) is a SUPF of if UN(ϖ;r-)= and

  • (ii) the subset LP(ϖ;r+) is a SUPF of if LP(ϖ;r+).

Proof

This follows from Theorem 4.2 and Lemma 4.6.

In 1999, Smarandache [18] introduced a neutrosophic set (NS) N in a nonempty set as a structure of the form , where , and are called the truth, indeterminate, and false membership functions, respectively. For simplicity, we denote the by ⟨α, β, γ⟩. Songsaeng et al. [19, 20] applied neutrosophic set theory to UP-algebras, introduced many concepts of neutrosophic UP-substructures, and investigated their properties. A neutrosophic shift of the UP-filter of a UP-algebra is an interesting and important concept of neutrosophic UP-substructures and is defined as follows:

Definition 4.8 ([20])

An NS ⟨α, β, γ⟩ in is called a neutrosophic shift UP-filter (NSUPF) of if the following six conditions hold:

(for all tT)(α(0)α(t)),(for all tT)(β(0)β(t)),(for all tT)(γ(0)γ(t)),(for all t,v,xT)(α(((xv)v)v)min{α(t(vx)),α(t)}),(for all t,v,xT)(β(((xv)v)x)max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}),(for all t,v,xT)(γ(((xv)v)x)min{γ(t(vx)),γ(t)}).

Definition 4.9

An FS α in is called a fuzzy shift UP-filter (FSUPF) of if it satisfies conditions (29) and (32).

For a function α from a nonempty set into the set of all real numbers R, the functions −α, 1+α, and α −1 are defined as follows:

-α:GR,t-α(t),1+α:GR,t1+α(t)α-1:GR,tα(t)-1.

Theorem 4.10

Let α be an FS and ϖ = (ϖNP ) be the BFS in such that ϖN = −α and ϖP = α. Then, α is an FSUPF of if and only if ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

Proof

Assume that α is an FSUPF of . Then, ϖP (0) = α(0) ≥ α(t) = ϖP (t) and ϖN(0) = −α(0) ≤ −α(t) = ϖN(t) for all , which implies that ϖ satisfies conditions (21) and (22). To show that ϖ satisfies conditions (27 ) and (28), let . Then, α(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) ≥ min{α(t⊠ (vx)), α(t)} and −α(((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ x) ≤ max{−α(t ⊠ (vx)), −α(t)}. Thus,

ϖP(((xv)v)x)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)},ϖN(((xv)v)x)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}.

Thus, ϖ satisfies conditions (27) and (28). Therefore, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

The converse of this theorem is clear.

Theorem 4.11

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is a BFSUPF of if and only if ϖP and −ϖN are FSUPFs of .

Proof

Assume that ϖ is a BFSUPF of . Clearly, ϖP is an FSUPF of and −ϖN is an FS in . If , then ϖN(t) ≥ ϖN(0), which implies that −ϖN(t) ≤ −ϖN(0). Thus, −ϖN satisfies condition (29). To show that −ϖN satisfies condition (32), let . Then, ϖN(((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ x) ≤ max{ϖN(t⊠(vx))N(t)} and −ϖN(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) ≥ min{−ϖN(t ⊠ (vx)), −ϖN(t)}. Thus, −ϖN satisfies condition (32). Hence, −ϖN is an FSUPF of .

Conversely, assume that ϖP and −ϖN are FSUPFs of . Then, conditions (22) and (28) hold because ϖP is an FSUPF of . Because −ϖN is an FSUPF of and ϖN = −(−ϖN), conditions (21) and (27) are satisfied. Hence, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

For two FSs α and β in a nonempty set , we denote the BFS as (α – 1, β). In the following theorem, we provide the condition for an NS to be an NSUPF by BFSs.

Theorem 4.12

An NS ⟨α, β, γ⟩ in is an NSUPF of if and only if the BFSs (β – 1, α) and (β – 1, γ) are BFSUPFs of .

Proof

Assume that ⟨α, β, γ⟩ is an NSUPF of . Let . Then, α(0) ≥ α(t), α(((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ x) ≥ min{α(t ⊠ (vx)), α(t)}, (β–1)(t) = β(t)–1 ≥ β(0)–1 = (β–1)(0) and

(β-1)(((xv)v)x)=β(((xv)v)x)-1max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}-1=max{β(t(vx))-1,β(t)-1}=max{(β-1)(t(vx)),(β-1)(t)}.

Hence, (β – 1, α) is a BFSUPF of . In the same manner, we can prove that (β – 1, γ) is a BFSUPF of .

Conversely, assume that the BFSs (β – 1, α) and (β – 1, γ) are BFSUPFs of . It is clear that ⟨α, β, γ⟩ satisfies conditions (29), (31), (32), and (34). Because (β – 1, α) is a BFSUPF of , we have

β(0)=β(0)-1+1=(β-1)(0)+1(β-1)(t)+1=β(t)-1+1=β(t),

and

β(((xv)v)x)=β(((xv)v)x)-1+1=(β-1)(((xv)v)x)+1max{(β-1)(t(vx)),(β-1)(t)}+1=max{β(t(vx))-1,β(t)-1}+1=max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}-1+1=max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}

for all . Thus, ⟨α, β, γ⟩ satisfies conditions (30) and (33). Therefore, we find that ⟨α, β, γ⟩ is an NSUPF of .

Theorem 4.13

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS of . Then, ϖ is a BFSUPF of if and only if the NS ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ is an NSUPF of .

Proof

Assume that ϖ is a BFSUPF of . By Theorem 4.11, we obtain that ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ satisfies conditions (29), (31), (32), and (34). If , then

(1+ϖN)(t)=1+ϖN(t)1+ϖN(0)=(1+ϖN)(0),

and

(1+ϖN)(((xv)v)x)=1+ϖN(((xv)v)x)1+max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}=max{1+ϖN(t(vx)),1+ϖN(t)}=max{(1+ϖN)(t(vx)),(1+ϖN)(t)}.

Thus, ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ satisfies conditions (30) and (33). Hence, ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ is an NSUPF of .

Conversely, assume that ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ is an NSUPF of . Then, ϖP and −ϖN are FSUPFs of . It follows from Theorem 4.11 that ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

In this paper, we introduced the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras and investigated its important properties. Relations between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and other shift UP-filters (fuzzy and neutrosophic shift UP-filters) have been given. Finally, we characterized bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets.

In the future, we will extend bipolar fuzzy soft shift UP-filters over UP-algebras, provide some properties, and apply them to decision-making problems.

Abstract

In this paper, we present the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras by applying the concept of shift UP-filters to bipolar fuzzy sets and investigating their essential properties. In UP-algebras, we found that every bipolar fuzzy strong UP-ideal is a bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filter, and every bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filter is a bipolar fuzzy UP-filter. An important relationship between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and their bipolar fuzzy characteristic functions is presented. The relations between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and other shift UP-filters (fuzzy and neutrosophic shift UP-filters) are given. Finally, characterizations of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters are investigated in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries

BCK-algebras [1], BCI-algebras [2], BCH-algebras [3], KU-algebras [4], PSRU-algebras [5], UP-algebras [6], and other algebraic structures have been the subject of several academic projects. They are inextricably linked to logic. For example, BCI-algebras were introduced by Iséki [1] in 1966 and have linkages with BCI-logic, which is the BCI-system in combinatory logic and has applications in functional programming. BCK- and BCI-algebras are two classes of logical algebras. Imai and Iséki [2] introduced them in 1966, and many scholars have examined them. BCK-algebras are a proper subclass of BCI-algebras, as is well known. Prabpayak and Leerawat [4] established the notion of KU-algebras in 2009. KU-algebras were extended to UP-algebras by Iampan [6] in 2017.

The concept of a fuzzy set in a nonempty set was first considered by Zadeh [7]. The fuzzy set theories developed by Zadeh and others have shown many mathematical structures to solve uncertainties. The concept of fuzzy set was developed in fuzzy set theory, for example, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets, and vague sets. The fuzzy set was extended by the bipolar-valued fuzzy set whose membership degree range is [−1, 0] ∪ [0, 1], which was of interest to Zhang in 1994 [8]. In 2008, Jun and Song [9] used the concept of bipolar fuzzy sets in BCH-algebras. Many researchers have studied bipolar fuzzy sets in algebraic structures; in 2011, Lee and Jun [10] studied bipolar fuzzy a-ideals of BCI-algebras, and in 2012, Jun et al. [11] studied bipolar fuzzy CI-algebras. In 2021, Muhiuddin and Al-Kadi [12] studied bipolar fuzzy implicative ideals of BCK-algebras. Gaketem and Khamrot [13] introduced the concept of bipolar fuzzy weakly interior ideals of semigroups. The relationships between bipolar fuzzy weakly interior ideals and bipolar fuzzy left (right) ideals and between bipolar fuzzy weakly interior ideals and bipolar fuzzy interior ideals have also been discussed. Gaketem et al. [14] introduced the concept of bipolar fuzzy implicative UP-filters (BFIUPFs) in UP-algebras.

To extend the concept of shift UP-filters of UP-algebras introduced by Jun and Iampan [15] in 2019 and bipolar fuzzy set theory applied to UP-algebras by Kawila et al. [16] in 2018, in this paper, we present the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras by applying the concept of shift UP-filters to bipolar fuzzy sets and investigate its essential properties. The relations between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and other shift UP-filters (fuzzy and neutrosophic shift UP-filters) are given. Finally, characterizations of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters are investigated in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets.

2. Preliminaries

First, we start with the definition of UP-algebras as follows:

Definition 2.1 ([6])

A UP-algebra is defined as ( ) of type (2, 0), where is a nonempty set, 0 is a fixed element of , and ⊠ is a binary operation on if it satisfies the following four conditions:

(for all t,v,x,T)((vx)((tv)(tx))=0),(for all tT)(0t=t),(for all tT)(t0=0),(for all t,vT)(tv=0,vt=0t=v).

According to [6], UP-algebras are a generalization of the concept of KU-algebras (see [4]). Unless otherwise indicated, let denote the UP-algebra ( ). The binary relation ≤ on is defined as follows:

(for all t,vT)(tvtv=0)

and the following statements are true (see [6, 17]):

(for all tT)(tt),(for all t,v,xT)((tv,vx)tx),(for all t,v,xT)(tvxtxv,)(for all t,v,xT)(tvvxtx),(for all t,v,xT)(tvt,in particular,vxt(vx)),(for all t,vT)(vttt=vt),(for all t,vT)(tvv),(for all a,t,v,xT)(t(vx)t((av)(ax))),(for all a,t,v,xT)(((at)(av))x(tv)x),(for all t,v,xT)((tv)xvx),(for all t,v,xT)(tvtxv),(for all t,v,xT)((tv)xt(vx)),(for all a,t,v,xT)((tv)xv(ax)).

Definition 2.2 ([15])

A nonempty subset of is called a shift UP-filter (SUPF) of if

0G,(for all t,v,xT)(t(vx)G,tG((xv)v)xG).

Theorem 2.3 ([15])

If is a family of SUPFs of , then is an SUPF of .

A fuzzy set (FS) α in a nonempty set is a function from to the closed unit interval [0, 1] of real numbers, i.e., . A bipolar fuzzy set (BFS) ϖ [8] in a nonempty set is an object of the form

ϖ:={(t,ϖN(t),ϖP(t))tG},

where and . We use the symbol ϖ = (ϖNP ) for the for simplicity. The concept of BFSs is an extension of that of FSs. In 2018, Kawila et al. [16] introduced the concepts of a bipolar fuzzy UP-filter and bipolar fuzzy strong UP-ideal of as follows.

Definition 2.4 ([16])

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is called

  • (1) a bipolar fuzzy UP-filter (BFUPF) of if the following four conditions hold:


    (for all tT)(ϖN(0)ϖN(t)),(for all tT)(ϖP(0)ϖP(t)),(for all t,vT)(ϖN(v)max{ϖN(tv),ϖN(t)}),(for all t,vT)(ϖP(v)min{ϖP(tv),ϖP(t)}),

  • (2) a bipolar fuzzy strong UP-ideal (BFSUPI) of if the conditions (21), (22), and the following hold :


    (for all t,v,xT)(ϖN(t)max{ϖN((xv)(xt)),ϖN(v)}),

    (for all t,v,xT)(ϖP(t)min{ϖP((xv)(xt)),ϖP(v)}).

Theorem 2.5 ([16])

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is a BFSUPI of if and only if ϖ is constant.

Example 2.6

Consider an UP-algebra with the following Cayley table:

0qtvx
00wtvx
q00tvx
t000vx
v0000x
x000w0

  • (1) Define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

    0qtvx
    ϖN0.80.60.60.10.1
    ϖP0.70.50.50.30.3

    Then, ϖ is a BFUPF of but not a BFSUPI.

  • (2) Define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

    0qtvx
    ϖN0.80.80.80.80.8
    ϖP0.60.60.60.60.6

    Then, ϖ is a BFSUPI.

3. Bipolar Fuzzy Shift UP-Filters

In this section, we introduce the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras and discuss its properties. Moreover, one characterization of a shift UP-filter is investigated using the bipolar fuzzy characteristic function.

Definition 3.1

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is called a bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filter (BFSUPF) of if the conditions (21), (22), and the following hold:

(for all t,v,xT)(ϖN(((xv)v)x)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}),(for all t,v,xT)(ϖP(((xv)v)x)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}).

Example 3.2

Consider a UP-algebra with the following Cayley table:

0qtvx
00qtvx
q00tvx
t000tx
v0000x
x0qtv0

Define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

0qtvx
ϖN0.40.40.30.30.3
ϖP0.70.70.50.50.5

Then, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

Theorem 3.3

Every BFSUPI of is a BFSUPF of .

Proof

Suppose that ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFSUPI of . By Theorem 2.5, we get that ϖ is constant. Then, ϖN(0) = ϖN(t),ϖP (0) = ϖP (t),ϖN(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) = max{ϖN(t⊠(vx))N(t)}, and ϖP (((xv)⊠v)⊠x) = min{ϖP (t⊠(vx))P (t)} for all . Hence, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

In general, the converse of Theorem 3.3 is not true, as shown below.

Example 3.4

From Example 3.2, we have ϖ is a BFSUPF but not a BFSUPI of .

Theorem 3.5

Each BFSUPF of is a BFUPF of .

Proof

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFSUPF of . Then, ϖ satisfies the conditions (21) and (22). Next, let . Thus,

ϖN(v)=ϖN(((v0)0)v)max{ϖN(t(0v)),ϖN(t)}=max{ϖN(tv),ϖN(t)},

and

ϖP(v)=ϖP(((v0)0)v)min{ϖP(t(0v)),ϖP(t)}=min{ϖP(tv),ϖP(t)}.

Hence, ϖ is a BFUPF of .

In general, the converse of Theorem 3.5 is not true, as shown below.

Example 3.6

Consider the UP-algebra in Example 3.2, and define a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in as follows:

0qtvx
ϖN−0.8−0.6−0.5−0.50
ϖP0.70.60.30.30.5

Then, the BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFUPF but not a BFSUPF of . Indeed,

ϖN(((qt)t)q)=-0.6>-0.8=max{ϖN(0(tq)),ϖN(0)},

and

ϖP(((qt)t)q)=0.6<0.7=min{ϖP(0(tq)),ϖP(0))}.

From Theorems 3.3 and 3.5 and Examples 3.4 and 3.6, we find that a BFUPF is a general concept of a BFSUPF, and a BFSUPF is a general concept of a BFSUPI.

Theorem 3.7

If ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFSUPF of , then the set and ϖP (t) = ϖP (0)} is an SUPF of .

Proof

Clearly, 0 ∈ ϖ0. Let t, v, x be such that t ⊠ (vx) ∈ ϖ0 and tϖ0. Then, ϖN(t) = ϖN(t ⊠ (vx)) = ϖN(0) and ϖP (t) = ϖP (t ⊠ (vx)) = ϖP (0). Thus,

ϖN(0)ϖN(((xv)v)x)    by (21)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}    by (27)=max{ϖN(0),ϖN(0)}=ϖN(0),

and

ϖP(0)ϖP(((xv)v)x)    by (22)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}    by (28)=min{ϖP(0),ϖP(0)}=ϖP(0).

That is, ϖN(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) = ϖN(0) and ϖP (((xv)⊠ v) ⊠ x) = ϖP (0), and thus, ((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ xϖ0. Hence, ϖ0 is an SUPF of .

If is a subset of , then the bipolar fuzzy characteristic function of is denoted and defined as follows: ϖG=(ϖNG,ϖPG), where for all ,

ϖPG(t)={1,if tG,0,otherwise,

and

ϖNG(t)={-1,if tG,0,otherwise.

Theorem 3.8

A nonempty subset of is an SUPF of if and only if ϖG=(ϖNG,ϖPG) is a BFSUPF of .

Proof. (⇒)

Assume that is an SUPF of . Then, , which implies that ϖNG(0)=-1ϖNG(t) and ϖPG(0)=1ϖPG(t) for all . Thus, the conditions (21) and (22) hold. To show that the conditions (27) and (28) hold, let . If and , then ϖNG(t(vx))=ϖNG(t)=-1 and ϖPG(t(vx))=ϖPG(t)=1. By the assumption, we get Thus,

ϖNG(((xv)v)x)=-1=max{ϖNG(t(vx)),ϖNG(t)},

and

ϖPG(((xv)v)x)=1=min{ϖPG(t(vx)),ϖPG(t)}.

On the contrary, suppose that or . Thus,

max{ϖNG(t(vx)),ϖNG(t)}=0ϖNG(((xv)v)x)

and

min{ϖPG(t(vx)),ϖPG(t)}=0ϖPG(((xv)v)x).

Hence, we have the conditions (27) and (28). Therefore, we obtain that is a BFSUPF of .

(⇐) Assume that is a BFSUPF of . Because is nonempty, we obtain ϖNG(0)ϖNG(t)=-1 when , which implies that . Let and . Then, ϖNG(t)=ϖNG(t(vx))=-1. By this assumption, we have

ϖNG(((xv)v)x)max{ϖNG(t(vx)),ϖNG(t)}=-1.

Thus, . Hence, is an SUPF of .

4. Characterizing Bipolar Fuzzy Shift UP-Filters in Terms of Level, Fuzzy, and Neutrosophic Sets

In this section, we characterize bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets and find their relationships.

Definition 4.1

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS in a nonempty set and (r, r+) ∈ [−1, 0] × [0, 1]. The subsets LN(ϖ;r-),UN(ϖ;r-),LP(ϖ;r+), and UP(ϖ;r+) of , defined by

LN(ϖ;r-)={tGϖN(t)r-},UN(ϖ;r-)={tGϖN(t)r-},LP(ϖ;r+)={tGϖP(t)r+},UP(ϖ;r+)={tGϖP(t)r+},

are called the negative lower r-level subset, negative upper r-level subset, positive lower r+-level subset, and positive upper r+-level subset of ϖ of , respectively.

Theorem 4.2

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS in . Then, ϖ is a BFSUPF of if and only if for all (r, r+) ∈ [−1, 0] × [0, 1], we have the following:

  • (i) the subset LN(ϖ;r-) is a SUPF of if LN(ϖ;r-) and

  • (ii) the subset UP(ϖ;r+) is a SUPF of if UP(ϖ;r+).

Proof. (⇒)

Assume that ϖ is a BFSUPF of . Let r ∈ [−1, 0] be such that LN(ϖ;r-), and let pLN(ϖ;r-). By using Eq. (21), we obtain ϖN(0) ≤ ϖN(p) ≤ r. Then 0LN(ϖ;r-). It is shown that condition (19) holds. To show that condition (20) holds, let be such that t⊠ (vx), tLN(ϖ;r-). Then, ϖN(t ⊠ (vx)) ≤ r and ϖN(t) ≤ r. By using Eq. (27), we obtain

ϖN(((xv)v)x)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}r-.

Thus, ((xv)v)xLN(ϖ;r-). Hence, condition (20) holds. Therefore, we find that LN(ϖ;r-) is an SUPF of .

Let r+ ∈ [0, 1] be such that UP(ϖ;r+). If pUP(ϖ;r+), then by using Eq. (22), we obtain ϖP (0) ≥ ϖP (p) ≥ r+, which implies that 0UP(ϖ;r+). Thus, condition (19) is true. Next, we show that condition (20) is true. Suppose that and t ⊠ (vx), tUP(ϖ;r+). Then, ϖP (t ⊠ (vx)) ≥ r+ and ϖP (t) ≥ r+. By using Eq. (28), we have

ϖP(((xv)v)x)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}r+.

Thus, ((xv)v)xUP(ϖ;r+). Hence, condition (20) holds. Therefore, UP(ϖ;r+) is an SUPF of .

(⇐) Suppose that for all r ∈ [−1, 0], LN(ϖ;r-) is an SUPF of if LN(ϖ;r-) is nonempty and for all r+ ∈ [0, 1], UP(ϖ;r+) is an SUPF of if UP(ϖ;r+) is nonempty. Let . Then, tLN(ϖ;ϖN(t)) and tUP(ϖ;ϖP(t)). Thus, LN(ϖ;ϖN(t)) and UP(ϖ;ϖP(t)) are SUPFs of . Using Eq. (19), we have 0LN(ϖ;ϖN(t)) and 0UP(ϖ;ϖP(t)). Thus, ϖN(0) ≤ ϖN(t) and ϖP (0) ≥ ϖP (t). Hence, conditions (21) and (22) hold. Next, we show that condition (27) holds. Let and choose r = max{ϖN(t⊠(vx))N(t)}. Then,ϖN(t⊠ (vx)) ≤ r and ϖN(t) ≤ r. Thus, t ⊠ (vx), tLN(ϖ;r-). Using Eq. (20), we have ((xv)v)xLN(ϖ;r-). Thus,

ϖN(((xv)v)x)r-=max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}.

We have shown that condition (27) holds. Finally, to show that condition (28) holds, suppose that and choose r+ = min{ϖP (⊠(vx))P (t)}. Then, ϖP (t⊠ (vx)) ≥ r+ and ϖP (t) ≥ r+. Thus, t ⊠ (vx), tUP(ϖ;r+). Therefore, UP(ϖ;r+) is an SUPF of . By using Eq. (20) again, we obtain ((xv)v)xUP(ϖ;r+). Thus,

ϖP(((xv)v)x)r+=min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)}.

Hence, condition (28) holds. It follows from Definition 3.1 that ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

For any r ∈ [0, 1], the set

C(ϖ;r)=LN(ϖ;-r)UP(ϖ;r)

is called the r-level subset of .

Corollary 4.3

If ϖ = (ϖNP ) is a BFSUPF of , then C(ϖ; r) is an SUPF of for all r ∈ [0, 1] when C(ϖ; r) is nonempty.

Proof

This follows from Theorems 2.3 and 4.2.

Remark 4.4

If is a nonempty subset of , then G=C(ϖG;1)=LN(ϖG;-1)=UP(ϖG;1).

Corollary 4.5

A nonempty subset of is an SUPF of if and only if there exist a BFSUPF ϖ = (ϖNP ) of and r ∈ [0, 1] such that

G=C(ϖ;ρ)=LN(ϖ;-r)=UP(ϖ;r).
Proof

This follows from Theorem 3.8, Corollary 4.3, and Remark 4.4.

For a BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in a nonempty set , the BFS ϖ¯=(ϖN¯,ϖP¯) defined by

ϖN¯(t)=-1-ϖN(t)and ϖP¯(t)=1-ϖP(t)

for all , and ϖ̄ is called the complement of .

Lemma 4.6 ([14])

For each BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in and element (r, r+) of [−1, 0] × [0, 1], the following hold:

  • (i) LN(ϖ¯;r-)=UN(ϖ;-1-r-),

  • (ii) LP(ϖ¯;r+)=UP(ϖ;1-r+),

  • (iii) UN(ϖ¯;r-)=LN(ϖ;-1-r-), and

  • (iv) UP(ϖ¯;r+)=LP(ϖ;1-r+).

Theorem 4.7

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS in . Then, the BFS ϖ¯=(ϖN¯,ϖP¯) in is a BFSUPF of if and only if for all (r, r+) ∈ [−1, 0] × [0, 1], we have

  • (i) the subset UN(ϖ;r-) is a SUPF of if UN(ϖ;r-)= and

  • (ii) the subset LP(ϖ;r+) is a SUPF of if LP(ϖ;r+).

Proof

This follows from Theorem 4.2 and Lemma 4.6.

In 1999, Smarandache [18] introduced a neutrosophic set (NS) N in a nonempty set as a structure of the form , where , and are called the truth, indeterminate, and false membership functions, respectively. For simplicity, we denote the by ⟨α, β, γ⟩. Songsaeng et al. [19, 20] applied neutrosophic set theory to UP-algebras, introduced many concepts of neutrosophic UP-substructures, and investigated their properties. A neutrosophic shift of the UP-filter of a UP-algebra is an interesting and important concept of neutrosophic UP-substructures and is defined as follows:

Definition 4.8 ([20])

An NS ⟨α, β, γ⟩ in is called a neutrosophic shift UP-filter (NSUPF) of if the following six conditions hold:

(for all tT)(α(0)α(t)),(for all tT)(β(0)β(t)),(for all tT)(γ(0)γ(t)),(for all t,v,xT)(α(((xv)v)v)min{α(t(vx)),α(t)}),(for all t,v,xT)(β(((xv)v)x)max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}),(for all t,v,xT)(γ(((xv)v)x)min{γ(t(vx)),γ(t)}).

Definition 4.9

An FS α in is called a fuzzy shift UP-filter (FSUPF) of if it satisfies conditions (29) and (32).

For a function α from a nonempty set into the set of all real numbers R, the functions −α, 1+α, and α −1 are defined as follows:

-α:GR,t-α(t),1+α:GR,t1+α(t)α-1:GR,tα(t)-1.

Theorem 4.10

Let α be an FS and ϖ = (ϖNP ) be the BFS in such that ϖN = −α and ϖP = α. Then, α is an FSUPF of if and only if ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

Proof

Assume that α is an FSUPF of . Then, ϖP (0) = α(0) ≥ α(t) = ϖP (t) and ϖN(0) = −α(0) ≤ −α(t) = ϖN(t) for all , which implies that ϖ satisfies conditions (21) and (22). To show that ϖ satisfies conditions (27 ) and (28), let . Then, α(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) ≥ min{α(t⊠ (vx)), α(t)} and −α(((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ x) ≤ max{−α(t ⊠ (vx)), −α(t)}. Thus,

ϖP(((xv)v)x)min{ϖP(t(vx)),ϖP(t)},ϖN(((xv)v)x)max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}.

Thus, ϖ satisfies conditions (27) and (28). Therefore, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

The converse of this theorem is clear.

Theorem 4.11

A BFS ϖ = (ϖNP ) in is a BFSUPF of if and only if ϖP and −ϖN are FSUPFs of .

Proof

Assume that ϖ is a BFSUPF of . Clearly, ϖP is an FSUPF of and −ϖN is an FS in . If , then ϖN(t) ≥ ϖN(0), which implies that −ϖN(t) ≤ −ϖN(0). Thus, −ϖN satisfies condition (29). To show that −ϖN satisfies condition (32), let . Then, ϖN(((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ x) ≤ max{ϖN(t⊠(vx))N(t)} and −ϖN(((xv)⊠v)⊠x) ≥ min{−ϖN(t ⊠ (vx)), −ϖN(t)}. Thus, −ϖN satisfies condition (32). Hence, −ϖN is an FSUPF of .

Conversely, assume that ϖP and −ϖN are FSUPFs of . Then, conditions (22) and (28) hold because ϖP is an FSUPF of . Because −ϖN is an FSUPF of and ϖN = −(−ϖN), conditions (21) and (27) are satisfied. Hence, ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

For two FSs α and β in a nonempty set , we denote the BFS as (α – 1, β). In the following theorem, we provide the condition for an NS to be an NSUPF by BFSs.

Theorem 4.12

An NS ⟨α, β, γ⟩ in is an NSUPF of if and only if the BFSs (β – 1, α) and (β – 1, γ) are BFSUPFs of .

Proof

Assume that ⟨α, β, γ⟩ is an NSUPF of . Let . Then, α(0) ≥ α(t), α(((xv) ⊠ v) ⊠ x) ≥ min{α(t ⊠ (vx)), α(t)}, (β–1)(t) = β(t)–1 ≥ β(0)–1 = (β–1)(0) and

(β-1)(((xv)v)x)=β(((xv)v)x)-1max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}-1=max{β(t(vx))-1,β(t)-1}=max{(β-1)(t(vx)),(β-1)(t)}.

Hence, (β – 1, α) is a BFSUPF of . In the same manner, we can prove that (β – 1, γ) is a BFSUPF of .

Conversely, assume that the BFSs (β – 1, α) and (β – 1, γ) are BFSUPFs of . It is clear that ⟨α, β, γ⟩ satisfies conditions (29), (31), (32), and (34). Because (β – 1, α) is a BFSUPF of , we have

β(0)=β(0)-1+1=(β-1)(0)+1(β-1)(t)+1=β(t)-1+1=β(t),

and

β(((xv)v)x)=β(((xv)v)x)-1+1=(β-1)(((xv)v)x)+1max{(β-1)(t(vx)),(β-1)(t)}+1=max{β(t(vx))-1,β(t)-1}+1=max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}-1+1=max{β(t(vx)),β(t)}

for all . Thus, ⟨α, β, γ⟩ satisfies conditions (30) and (33). Therefore, we find that ⟨α, β, γ⟩ is an NSUPF of .

Theorem 4.13

Let ϖ = (ϖNP ) be a BFS of . Then, ϖ is a BFSUPF of if and only if the NS ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ is an NSUPF of .

Proof

Assume that ϖ is a BFSUPF of . By Theorem 4.11, we obtain that ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ satisfies conditions (29), (31), (32), and (34). If , then

(1+ϖN)(t)=1+ϖN(t)1+ϖN(0)=(1+ϖN)(0),

and

(1+ϖN)(((xv)v)x)=1+ϖN(((xv)v)x)1+max{ϖN(t(vx)),ϖN(t)}=max{1+ϖN(t(vx)),1+ϖN(t)}=max{(1+ϖN)(t(vx)),(1+ϖN)(t)}.

Thus, ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ satisfies conditions (30) and (33). Hence, ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ is an NSUPF of .

Conversely, assume that ⟨ϖP,1 + ϖN,−ϖN⟩ is an NSUPF of . Then, ϖP and −ϖN are FSUPFs of . It follows from Theorem 4.11 that ϖ is a BFSUPF of .

5. Conclusion

In this paper, we introduced the concept of bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters of UP-algebras and investigated its important properties. Relations between bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters and other shift UP-filters (fuzzy and neutrosophic shift UP-filters) have been given. Finally, we characterized bipolar fuzzy shift UP-filters in terms of level, fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets.

In the future, we will extend bipolar fuzzy soft shift UP-filters over UP-algebras, provide some properties, and apply them to decision-making problems.
