Özet
L-equivalence relations on L-fuzzy sets, equivalent to L-valued equalities on ordinary sets, are modelling fuzzy similarity of two objects that are partial members of a fuzzily defined set. This paper deals with construction and representation properties of L-equivalence relations on L-fuzzy sets. To this end, we set up a method for constructing them by means of quasi-pseudo-metrics, and then point out how L-equivalence relations on L-fuzzy sets are represented by families of L-fuzzy subsets of L-fuzzy sets. The present results are applied to locally vague environments to elucidate conceptual structures of locally vague environments, and to show how the points in a locally vague environment are described.
