A Novel Fuzzy Structure: Infra-Fuzzy Topological Spaces by Zanyar A. Ameen, Tareq M. Al-shami, A. A. Azzam, Abdelwaheb Mhemdi

“…Fundamental properties of infra-fuzzy topological spaces are investigated, including infra-fuzzy open and infra-fuzzy closed sets, infra-fuzzy interior and infra-fuzzy closure operators, and the infra-fuzzy boundary of a fuzzy set. It is not possible to expect the latter concepts to have properties identical to those in ordinary fuzzy topological spaces. …”
