Abstract

We study a special kind of fuzzy relations capable of modeling that two elements in the universe of discourse are similar to the extend that they are close to each other with respect to a given scale. These relations are reflexive and symmetric but not necessarily T-transitive. We study the requirements to construct such relations from a large class of fuzzy partitions that obey some useful but not severely constraining requirements. We give some formal results, including a lower bound (in terms of fuzzy sets inclusion) on the relations from this class that can be derived from the general class of fuzzy partitions.
