${\epsilon}$-FUZZY EQUIVALENCE RELATIONS

We find the ${\epsilon}$-fuzzy equivalence relation generated by the union of two ${\epsilon}$-fuzzy equivalence relations on a set, find the ${\epsilon}$-fuzzy equivalence relation generated by a fuzzy relation on a set, and find sufficient conditions for the composition ${\mu}{\circ}{\nu}$ of two ${\epsilon}$-fuzzy equivalence relations ${\mu}$ and ${\nu}$ to be the ${\epsilon}$-fuzzy equivalence relation generated by ${\mu}{\cup}{\nu}$. Also we study fuzzy partitions of ${\epsilon}$-fuzzy equivalence relations.
