Ideals and filters on intuitionistic fuzzy lattices

Based on the concept of Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set on a universe X, we introduce the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy filters on an intuitionistic fuzzy lattice. More specifically, we provide characterizations of these concepts in terms of the intuitionistic fuzzy lattice meet and join operations, in terms of some associated fuzzy sets, as well as, in terms of their crisp level sets. Furthermore, we introduce the concepts of prime intuitionistic fuzzy ideals (resp. filters) as interesting kinds, and investigate their various properties and characterizations.
