FUZZY SETS AND SYSTEMS, cilt.227, ss.1-24, 2013 (SCI-Expanded)
It is shown in this paper that various approaches to fuzzy topological spaces can be extended to an abstract category C. In this respect, variety-based generalized topological spaces, variable-basis fuzzy topological spaces, fixed-basis fuzzy topological spaces and Hutton fuzzy topological spaces are defined in C. We also construct their respective categories, as well as establish a generalized Papert-Papert-Isbell style adjunction for each of them. These adjunctions are later on refined to equivalences, involving appropriate definitions of spatiality and sobriety. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
