On Pythagorean fuzzy ideals of a classical ring

Abstract

<abstract><p>The Pythagorean fuzzy set is an extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy set and is an effective approach of handling uncertain situations. Ring theory is a prominent branch of abstract algebra, vibrant in wide areas of current research in mathematics, computer science and mathematical/theoretical physics. In the theory of rings, the study of ideals is significant in many ways. Keeping in mind the importance of ring theory and Pythagorean fuzzy set, in the present article, we characterize the concept of Pythagorean fuzzy ideals in classical rings and study its numerous algebraic properties. We define the concept of Pythagorean fuzzy cosets of a Pythagorean fuzzy ideal and prove that the set of all Pythagorean fuzzy cosets of a Pythagorean fuzzy ideal forms a ring under certain binary operations. Furthermore, we present Pythagorean fuzzy version of the fundamental theorem of ring homomorphism. We also introduce the concept of Pythagorean fuzzy semi-prime ideals and give a detailed exposition of its different algebraic characteristics. In the end, we characterized regular rings by virtue of Pythagorean fuzzy ideals.</p></abstract>
