Abstract

A new definition of interval-valued supra-fuzzy syntopogenous (resp., supra-fuzzy proximity) space is given. We show that for any interval-valued fuzzy syntopogenous structure , there is another interval-valued fuzzy syntopogenous structure called the conjugate of . This leads to introducing the concept of interval-valued bifuzzy syntopogenous space. Finally, we show every interval-valued bifuzzy syntopogenous space induces an interval-valued fuzzy supra-syntopogenous space. Throughout this paper, the family of all fuzzy sets on nonempty set will be denoted by and the family of all interval-valued fuzzy sets on a nonempty set will be denoted by .
