Mohtashamnia, Neda; Torkzadeh, Lida The lattice of prefilters of an EQ-algebra. (English) Zbl 1393.03055 Fuzzy Sets Syst. 311, 86-98 (2017). Summary: In this paper, the notion of a prefilter generated by a nonempty subset of an EQ-algebra is introduced and a characterization of it is obtained. It is proved that the set of all prefilters of an EQ-algebra is an algebraic lattice and it is a Brouwerian lattice for an \(\ell\)EQ-algebra. Furthermore, it is shown that the set of all principal prefilters of an \(\ell\)EQ-algebra is a sublattice of the lattice of prefilters. Then by defining an implication between two prefilters, it is determined that the lattice of prefilters is a Heyting algebra, for an \(\ell\)EQ-algebra. Finally, the EQ-algebras for which the lattice of prefilters is a Boolean algebra are given.
