## Fuzzy equivalence relations and their equivalence classes.(English)Zbl 1123.03049

The authors investigate various properties of equivalence classes of fuzzy equivalence relations over a complete residuated lattice, and give certain characterizations of fuzzy semi-partitions and fuzzy partitions over a complete residuated lattice, as well as over a linearly ordered complete Heyting algebra.
