Abstract

:
In this study, by generalizing the notion of fuzzy bi-ideals of ordered semirings, the notion of ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals is established. We prove that ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals are fuzzy bi-ideals but that the converse is not true, and an example is provided to support this proof. A condition is given under which fuzzy bi-ideals of ordered semirings coincide with ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals. An equivalent condition and certain correspondences between bi-ideals and ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals are presented. Moreover, the ( κ * , κ ) -lower part of ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals is described and depicted in terms of several classes of ordered semirings. Furthermore, it is shown that the ordered semiring is bi-simple if and only if it is ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-simple.

1. Introduction

The concept of an “ordered semiring” was first used by Gan and Jiang [1] in connection to a semiring with a compatible partial order relation. They also proposed the idea of ideals in ordered semirings. Good et al. [2] developed the concept of bi-ideals in semigroups. Following that, Lajos et al. [3] established bi-ideals in associative rings. Bi-ideals of ordered semirings were described and characterized in terms of regularity, and the relationship between bi-ideals and quasi-ideals was characterized by Palakawong et al. [4]. Senarat et al. [5] developed the terms-ordered k-bi-ideal, strong-prime-ordered k-bi-ideal, and prime-ordered k-bi-ideal in ordered semirings. By expanding on the idea of bi-ideals of ordered semirings, Davvaz et al. [6] introduced the concept of bi-hyperideals in ordered semi-hyperrings. The notions of ( m , n ) -bi-hyperideals and Prime ( m , n ) -bi-hyperideals were established and inter-related properties were considered by Omidi and Davvaz [7]. The characterization of ordered h-regular semirings was considered by Anjum et al. [8]. In [9], Patchakhieo and Pibaljommee characterized ordered k-regular semirings using ordered k-ideals. The ordered intra-k-regular semirings have been introduced and defined in different ways by Ayutthaya and Pibaljommee [10]. Omidi and Davvaz [7] considered the concepts of ( m , n ) -bi-hyperideals and Prime ( m , n ) -bi-hyperideals and established inter-related features. Anjum et al. [8] proposed characterizing ordered h-regular semirings. By using ordered k-ideals, Patchakhieo and Pibaljommee described ordered k-regular semirings in [9]. The ordered intra-k-regular semirings have been presented and characterized in various ways by Ayutthaya and Pibaljommee [10].
Fuzzy sets to semirings were initially discussed by Ahsan et al. in [11] and Kuroki [12] applied the idea to semigroups. Mandal [13] pioneered the study of ideals and interior ideals in ordered semirings, as well as their characterizations in the sense of regularity. He developed the concepts of fuzzy bi-ideals and fuzzy quasi-ideals in ordered semirings in [14]. Gao et al. [15] presented semisimple fuzzy ordered semirings and weakly regular fuzzy ordered semirings in terms of different kinds of fuzzy ideals. Saba et al. [16] initiated the study of ordered semirings based on single-valued neutrosophic sets. Several characterizations of regular and intra-regular ordered semigroups in terms of ( , q ) -fuzzy generalized bi-ideals were presented by Jun et al. [17], who also proposed the idea of ( α , β ) -fuzzy generalized bi-ideal in ordered semigroups. Similar semiring concepts, such as ( , q ) -fuzzy bi-ideals on semirings, were investigated by Hedayati [18]. Additionally, other ideas connected to our research in several domains have been examined in [19,20,21,22,23,24,25].
In this study, we describe a novel form of fuzzy ideal in ordered semirings. The concept of ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal is presented. We show that any fuzzy bi-ideal is the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal, but the converse assertion is invalid, and an example is shown. A criterion for an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal to be a fuzzy bi-ideal is given. Furthermore, some correspondences between bi-ideal and ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal are included. Furthermore, regularly ordered semirings are described in terms of ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals and their ( κ * , κ ) -lower parts. The structure of the paper is as follows: Section 2 highlights some of the ideas and properties of ordered semirings, ideals, fuzzy subsets, and fuzzy subsemirings that are necessary to generate our key results. Section 3 focuses on the concept of the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal of ordered semirings. Section 4 examines the ( κ * , κ ) -lower part of the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal. Section 5 contains instructions for some potential future research work.

2. Preliminaries

An ordered semiring  ( Υ , + , · , ) is a semiring with compatible order relation , i.e., ϱ τ ϱ τ , τ τ ϱ and + τ ϱ + τ , τ + τ + ϱ , , ϱ , τ Υ .
If + ϱ = ϱ + , , ϱ Υ , then Υ is said to be additively commutative. An element 0 Υ is an absorbing zero if 0 = 0 = 0 and + 0 = = 0 + , Υ .
For P Υ , we define ( P ] = { Υ | ϱ for some P } . For ( ) P , Q Υ , P Q is defined as { ϱ | P and ϱ Q } .
A subset ( ) Σ of Υ is said to be a sub-semiring if Σ Σ Σ and Σ + Σ Σ . Additionally, Σ refers to the left (resp. right) ideal of Υ if Σ + Σ Σ and Υ Σ Σ ( resp . Σ Υ Σ ) , and ( Σ ] Σ . If it is both the left and right ideals of Υ , it is referred to as an ideal. A sub-semiring P of Υ is called a bi-ideal (in brief, BI) of Υ if P Υ P P and ( P ] P .
A mapping λ ˜ f : Υ [ 0 , 1 ] is said to be fuzzy set (in brief, FS) of Υ . For the FSs  λ ˜ f and £ ˜ f of Υ , λ ˜ f £ ˜ f ,   λ ˜ f £ ˜ f ,   λ ˜ f + £ ˜ f and λ ˜ f £ ˜ f are described as:
( λ ˜ f £ ˜ f ) ( ) = λ ˜ f ( ) £ ˜ f ( ) = min { λ ˜ f ( ) , £ ˜ f ( ) } , ( λ ˜ f £ ˜ f ) ( ) = λ ˜ f ( ) £ ˜ f ( ) = max { λ ˜ f ( ) , £ ˜ f ( ) } ,
( λ ˜ f + £ ˜ f ) ( ) = ϱ + ϰ λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) £ ˜ f ( ϰ ) , 0 , if can not be written as ϱ + ϰ ,
and
( λ ˜ f £ ˜ f ) ( ) = ϱ ϰ λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) £ ˜ f ( ϰ ) , , 0 , if cannot be written as ϱ ϰ . ,
For Ω Υ , the characteristic function  χ Ω f is defined as:
χ Ω f ( ) = 1 , i f Ω ; 0 , i f Ω .
Define ⪯ on the set F ( Υ ) of all FSs of Υ by
λ ˜ f £ ˜ f λ ˜ f ( ) £ ˜ f ( ) , Υ .
If λ ˜ f , £ ˜ f F ( Υ ) such that λ ˜ f £ ˜ f , then λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) , λ ˜ f λ ˜ f £ ˜ f λ ˜ f and λ ˜ f λ ˜ f λ ˜ f £ ˜ f . We represent by 1 f the FS of Υ given by 1 f : Υ [ 0 , 1 ] | r 1 f ( r ) = 1 .
Let P , Q Υ . Then P Q χ P f χ Q f ; χ P f χ Q f = χ P Q f ; χ P f χ Q f = χ ( P Q ] .
A FS λ ˜ f is called a:
  • Fuzzy subsemiring of Υ if λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) and λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) , , ϱ Υ .
  • Fuzzy left (resp. right) ideal (in brief, FL(R)I) of Υ if ϱ λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) , λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) (resp. λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) ), , ϱ Υ .
  • Fuzzy ideal of Υ if λ ˜ f is both fuzzy right and left ideals of Υ .
  • Fuzzy bi-ideal (in brief, FBI) if it is fuzzy subsemiring and ϱ λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) and λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) , ,   t ,   ϱ ,   Υ .

3. ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -Fuzzy Bi-Ideals of Ordered Semirings

In this section, the concept of ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals of Υ is introduced.
Let Υ and ι ( 0 , 1 ] . The ordered fuzzy point (OFP) ι of Υ is defined by
ι ( ϰ ) = ι , if ϰ ( ] ; 0 , if ϰ ( ] .
For λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) , ι λ ˜ f represents for ι λ ˜ f . Thus ι λ ˜ f λ ˜ f ( ) ι .
Definition 1.
An OFP ι of Υ is said to be ( κ * , q ) -quasi-coincident with a FS λ ˜ f of Υ for κ * ( 0 , 1 ] , denoted as ι ( κ * , q ) λ ˜ f , and defined as:
λ ˜ f ( ) + ι > κ * .
For the OFP ι , we define
(1)
ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f , if λ ˜ f ( ) + ι + κ > κ * ;
(2)
ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f , if ι λ ˜ f or ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f ;
(3)
ι α ¯ λ ˜ f , if ι α λ ˜ f does not hold for α { ( κ * , q κ ) , ( κ * , q κ ) } ;
for 1 κ * > κ 0 .
Definition 2.
A FS λ ˜ f of Υ is said to be an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal (in brief, ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI) of Υ if:
(1)
ϱ , ϱ ι λ ˜ f ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f ,
(2)
ι λ ˜ f and ϱ θ λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f ,
(3)
ι λ ˜ f and ϱ θ λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f , and
(4)
t Υ , ι λ ˜ f , ϱ ι λ ( t ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f .
ι , θ ( 0 , 1 ] and , t , ϱ Υ .
Example 1.
On Υ = { 1 , 2 , 3 } , define the opertaions and order relation as
+ 1 2 3 1 1 2 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 2 · 2 3 3 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 3 1 3 3    : = { ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 2 , 2 ) , ( 3 , 3 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 1 , 3 ) } .
Then ( Υ , + , · , ) is an ordered semiring. Define an FS λ ˜ f of Υ as
λ ˜ f ( ϰ ) = 0.5 , i f ϰ = 1 ; 0.4 , i f ϰ = 2 ; 0.3 , i f ϰ = 3 .
λ ˜ f is the ( , ( 0.2 , q 0.6 ) ) -FBI of Υ and can be easily verified.
Lemma 1.
Each FBI of Υ is the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ.
Proof. 
Straightforward. □
Remark 1.
In general, the converse of Lemma 1 does not hold. It is illustrated by the following example:
Example 2.
Define operations and ordered relations on Υ = { 1 , 2 , 3 } as follows:
+ 1 2 3 1 1 2 3 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 · 1 2 3 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 3 1 2 2    : = { ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 2 , 2 ) , ( b , 3 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) } .
Then, ( Υ , + , · , ) is an ordered semiring. Define the FS λ ˜ f of Υ as
λ ˜ f ( ϰ ) = 0.6 , i f ϰ = 1 ; 0.5 , i f ϰ = 2 ; 0.7 , i f ϰ = 3 .
It can be easily verified that λ ˜ f is the ( , ( 0.9 , q 0.1 ) ) -fuzzy bi-deal of Υ but not an FBI of Υ as follows: 1 3 λ ˜ f ( 1 ) λ ˜ f ( 3 ) .
Theorem 1.
An FS λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ
(1)
ϱ λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2
(2)
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ,
(3)
λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , and
(4)
λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ,
, t , ϱ Υ .
Proof. 
(⇒) Let , ϱ Υ such that ϱ . If λ ˜ f ( ) < λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , then ∃ ι ( 0 , 1 ] such that λ ˜ f ( ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . So s ι λ ˜ f , but ( ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) ¯ λ ˜ f , which is a contradiction. Therefore λ ˜ f ( ) min { λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) , κ * κ 2 } . Next, if λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) < λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , for some , ϱ Υ , then λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , for some ι ( 0 , 1 ] . Thus, ι , ϱ ι λ ˜ f , but ( + ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) ¯ λ ˜ f , which is a contradiction. Therefore, λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Similarly, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , , ϱ Υ . Again, if λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) < λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , for some , t , ϱ Υ , then λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 for some ι ( 0 , 1 ] . Thus, ι , ϱ ι λ ˜ f , but ( t ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) ¯ λ ˜ f , again a contradiction. Consequently, λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 .
(⇐) Take any , ϱ Υ and ι , θ ( 0 , 1 ] such that ϱ and ϱ θ λ ˜ f . Then, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι , and it follows that λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι κ * κ 2 . If ι κ * κ 2 , then λ ˜ f ( ) ι implies ι λ ˜ f . Again, if ι > κ * κ 2 , then λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 . Thus, λ ˜ f ( ) + ι > κ * κ 2 + κ * κ 2 = κ * κ , so ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . Therefore, ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . Again, take any θ λ ˜ f and ϱ θ λ ˜ f . Then, λ ˜ f ( ) ι and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι . Therefore, λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι θ κ * κ 2 . Now, if ι θ κ * κ 2 , then λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) ι θ implies ( + ϱ ) ι θ λ ˜ f . Again, if ι θ > κ * κ 2 , then λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Therefore, λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) + ι θ > κ * κ 2 + κ * κ 2 = κ * κ implies that ( + ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . Therefore, ( + ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . Similarly, ( ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f for any θ λ ˜ f and ϱ θ λ ˜ f . Further, take any t Υ and ι , ϱ ι λ ˜ f , ι ( 0 , 1 ] . Then λ ˜ f ( ) ι and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι . Therefore, λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι κ * κ 2 . Now if ι κ * κ 2 , then λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) ι implies ( t ϱ ) ι λ ˜ f . If ι > κ * κ 2 , then λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Thus λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) + ι > κ * κ 2 + κ * κ 2 = κ * κ i.e., ( t ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . Therefore, ( t ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f , as required. □
Theorem 2.
If λ ˜ f ( F ( Υ ) ) is ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ with λ ˜ f ( ) < κ * κ 2 , Υ . Then λ ˜ f is an FBI of Υ.
Proof. 
Suppose that , ϱ Υ such that ϱ . Since λ ˜ f is ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI, λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . By hypothesis, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) < κ * κ 2 ; thus, it implies λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) . Again, for any , ϱ Υ , we have
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2
and
λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 .
Since λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) < κ * κ 2 and λ ˜ f ( ) < κ * κ 2 , so
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ )
and
λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) .
Finally, take any , t , ϱ Υ . Since λ ˜ f is ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI, by Theorem 1 and the hypothesis
λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) , λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 = λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ,
as required. □
Theorem 3.
Let ( ) Ω Υ . Then Ω is a BI of Υ χ Ω f , an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI.
Proof. 
Straightforward. □
Theorem 4.
An FS λ ˜ f is the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) ( ) ( ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] ) , a BI of Υ.
Proof. 
(⇒) Let Υ and ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) be such that ϱ . Then, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι . By Theorem 1, λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι κ * κ 2 = ι . Therefore, U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) . Let , ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) , where ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] . Then λ ˜ f ( ) ι and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι . By Theorem 1, λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι κ * κ 2 = ι . Therefore, + ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) . Similarly, ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) for , ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) . Let , ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) and t Υ . Then, λ ˜ f ( ) ι and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι . So, by Theorem 1, λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι ι κ * κ 2 = ι . Thus λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) ι . Therefore t ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) . Hence U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) is a BI.
(⇐) Take any , ϱ Υ with ϱ . If λ ˜ f ( ) < λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , then for some ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] , λ ˜ f ( ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . So ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) , but U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) , which is a contradiction. Thus λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , , ϱ Υ with ϱ . Again, if λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) < λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , for some , ϱ Υ , then λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , for some ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] . Thus, , ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) , but + ϱ U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) , a contradiction. Therefore, λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , , ϱ Υ . Similarly, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , , ϱ Υ . Further, if λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) < λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , for some , t , ϱ Υ . Then, ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] such that λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 implies ι , ϱ ι U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) , but ( t ϱ ) ι U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) , again a contradiction. Therefore λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , , ϱ Υ , as required. □
Example 3.
Define the operations ( + , · ) and order relation ≤ on Υ = { 1 , 2 , 3 , τ } in the following ways:
+ 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 3 4 2 2 2 3 4 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 · 1 2 3 4 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 3 1 2 2 2 4 1 2 2 2    : = { ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 2 , 2 ) , ( 3 , 3 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) , ( 3 , c ) }
Then, ( Υ , + , · , ) is an ordered semiring. Now define an FS λ ˜ f of Υ as λ ˜ f ( 1 ) = 0.5 ,   λ ˜ f ( 2 ) = 0.4 ,   λ ˜ f ( 3 ) = 0.1 and λ ˜ f ( τ ) = 0.3 . Therefore,
U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) = Υ , if 1 < ι 0.1 ; { 1 , 2 , τ } , if 0.1 < ι 0.3 ; { 1 , 2 } , if 0.3 < ι 0.4 ; { 1 } , if 0.4 < ι 0.5 ; , if 0.5 < ι 1 .
By Theorem 4, λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ as U ( λ ˜ f ; ι ) is a BI of Υ, ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] , with κ * = 1 and κ = 0 .
Definition 3.
Let λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) . The set
[ λ ˜ f ] ι = { Υ | ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f } ,
where ι ( 0 , 1 ] , is said to be an ( ( κ * , q κ ) ) -level subset of λ ˜ f .
Theorem 5.
Let λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) such that ϱ implies λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) . Then. λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ ι ( 0 , 1 ] , the ( ( κ * , q κ ) ) -level subset [ λ ˜ f ] ι of λ ˜ f is a bi-deal of Υ.
Proof. 
(⇒) Take any Υ and ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι such that ϱ . As ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι , we have ϱ ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f implies λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι or λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) + ι + κ > κ * . By hypothesis, we have λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι or λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * ι κ . Thus, ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . Therefore, [ λ ˜ f ] ι . Next, take any , ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι . Then, ι , ϱ ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f ; that is, λ ˜ f ( ) ι or λ ˜ f ( ) + ι + κ > κ * and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι or λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) + ι + κ > κ * .
Case (i).
Let λ ˜ f ( ) ι and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι . If ι > κ * κ 2 ; then,
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι ι κ * κ 2 = κ * κ 2 ,
and, so, ( + ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . If ι κ * κ 2 , then
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι ι κ * κ 2 = ι ,
and so ( + ϱ ) ι λ ˜ f . Hence, ( + ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f .
Case (ii).
Let λ ˜ f ( ) ι and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) + ι + κ > κ * . If ι > κ * κ 2 , then
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 = λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 > ( κ * ι κ ) κ * κ 2 = κ * ι κ ,
that is, λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) + ι + κ > κ * , and thus ( + ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f . If ι κ * κ 2 , then
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ι ( κ * ι κ ) κ * κ 2 = ι ,
and so ( + ϱ ) ι λ ˜ f . Hence, ( + ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f .
Case (iii).
Let λ ˜ f ( ) + ι + κ > κ * and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) ι . Proof is analogous to case proof (ii).
Case (iv).
Let λ ˜ f ( ) + ι + κ > κ * and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) + ι + κ > κ * . Proof is analogous to previous two cases.
Thus for all cases, we have ( + ϱ ) ι ( κ * , q κ ) λ ˜ f , and thus + ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι . Similarly, for any t Υ and , ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι , we have ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι and t ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι . Hence, [ λ ˜ f ] ι is a BI of Υ .
(⇐) Let λ ˜ f ( ) < λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , for some , ϱ Υ . Then, ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] such that λ ˜ f ( ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Thus, it follows that ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι but [ λ ˜ f ] ι , which is a contradiction, and hence λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Let λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) < λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 for some , ϱ Υ . Then ∃ ι ( 0 , κ * κ 2 ] such that λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) < ι λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Thus, it follows that , ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι but + ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι , which is a contradiction. Therefore, λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , , ϱ Υ . Similarly, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , , ϱ Υ . Next, suppose that λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 for some , t , ϱ Υ . It follows that , ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι but t ϱ [ λ ˜ f ] ι which is again a contradiction. Thus λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , as required. □

Definition 5.
Let £ ˜ f , λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) . Define £ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f , £ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f , and £ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f as follows:
( £ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( £ ˜ f λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2 ( £ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( £ ˜ f λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2 ( £ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( £ ˜ f λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2 ( £ ˜ f ( + ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( £ ˜ f + λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2
Υ and 1 κ * > κ 0 .
Lemma 2.
£ ˜ f , λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) . Then,

( £ f κ κ * ̲ ) κ κ * = £ f κ κ * ̲ and £ f κ κ * ̲ £ ˜ f ;
(2) 
If £ ˜ f λ ˜ f , and λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) , then £ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f and λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * £ ˜ f λ ˜ f ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ;
(3) 
If £ ˜ f λ ˜ f , and λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) , then £ ˜ f ( + ) κ κ * λ ˜ f λ ˜ f ( + ) κ κ * λ ˜ f and λ ( + ) κ κ * £ ˜ f λ ( + ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ;
(4) 
£ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f = £ f κ κ * ̲ λ f κ κ * ̲ ;

£ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f = £ f κ κ * ̲ λ f κ κ * ̲ ;
(6) 
£ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f = £ f κ κ * ̲ λ f κ κ * ̲ ;
(7) 
£ ˜ f ( + ) κ κ * λ ˜ f = £ f κ κ * ̲ + λ f κ κ * ̲ .
Proof. 
Straightforward. □
Lemma 3.
Let Σ , Ω Υ . Then,
(1) 
χ Σ ( + ) κ κ * χ Ω = ( χ κ κ * ̲ ) Σ + Ω ;
(2) 
χ Σ ( ) κ κ * χ Ω = ( χ κ κ * ̲ ) Σ Ω ;
(3) 
χ Σ ( ) κ κ * χ Ω = ( χ κ κ * ̲ ) Σ Ω ;
(4) 
χ Σ ( ) κ κ * χ Ω = ( χ κ κ * ̲ ) ( Σ Ω ] .
Proof. 
Straightforward. □
Lemma 4.
If λ ˜ f is the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ, then λ f κ κ * ̲ is an FBI of Υ.
Proof. 
Let , ϱ Υ be such that ϱ . Then, λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Thus, it implies λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , and, so, ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ) ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ϱ ) . Next suppose that , ϱ Υ . Since λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . It follows that λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 κ * κ 2 , and hence, ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( + ϱ ) ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ) ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ϱ ) . Similarly, ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ϱ ) ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ) ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ϱ ) , , ϱ Υ . Let , t , ϱ Υ ; we have λ ˜ f ( t ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Then λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 , and so ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( t ϱ ) ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ) ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( ϱ ) . Therefore, λ f κ κ * ̲ is an FBI of Υ . □
Lemma 5.
Let ( ) Ω S . Then, Ω is a BI of Υ ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω , the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ.
Proof. 
Let , ϱ Υ and ι , θ ( 0 , 1 ] be such that ι ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω and ϱ θ ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . Then, ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) ι > 0 and ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) θ > 0 . Therefore, , ϱ Ω . As Ω is a BI of Υ , + ϱ Ω . Thus ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( + ϱ ) = κ * κ 2 . If ω θ κ * κ 2 , then ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( + ϱ ) ω , so we have ( + ϱ ) ι θ ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . If ι θ > κ * κ 2 , then ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( + ϱ ) + ι θ > κ * κ 2 + κ * κ 2 = κ * κ . So ( + ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . Similarly, ι ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω and ϱ θ ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω imply ( ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . Therefore, ( + ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . Let , ϱ , t Υ and ι ( 0 , 1 ] be such that ι , ϱ θ ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . Then, , ϱ Ω , ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) ι , ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) θ . Since Ω is a BI of Υ , we have t ϱ Ω . Thus, ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( t ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . If ι θ κ * κ 2 , then ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( t ϱ ) ι θ . Therefore ( t ϱ ) ι θ ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . Again, if ι θ > κ * κ 2 , then ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( t ϱ ) + ι θ > κ * κ 2 + κ * κ 2 = κ * κ . So ( t ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω . Thus, ( t ϱ ) ι θ ( κ * , q κ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω , as required.
Let Υ and ϱ Ω such that ϱ . Then ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) = κ * κ 2 . Since ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ , and ϱ , we have ( f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) ( f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 = κ * κ 2 . Thus, ( f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) = κ * κ 2 and so Ω . Let , ϱ Ω . Then, ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) = κ * κ 2 and ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) = κ * κ 2 . Since ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ , we have ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( + ϱ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 = κ * κ 2 and also ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 = κ * κ 2 . Thus, it implies ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( + ϱ ) = κ * κ 2 and ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) = κ * κ 2 . Therefore, + ϱ , ϱ Ω . Let , ϱ Ω and t Υ . Then ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) = κ * κ 2 and ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) = κ * κ 2 . Now, ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( t ϱ ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ) ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 = κ * κ 2 . Hence ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) Ω ( t ϱ ) = κ * κ 2 . Therefore t ϱ Ω . Hence, Ω is a BI of Υ . □
Theorem 6.
Let λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) . Then λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ
(1)
λ ˜ f ( + ) k k * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ ,
(2)
λ ˜ f ( ) k k * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ ,
(3)
λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * 1 f ( ) k k * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ , and
(4)
( , ϱ Υ ) ϱ λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 .
Proof. 
(⇒) Suppose that λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ . If λ ˜ f ( + ) k k * λ ˜ f = 0 , then λ ˜ f ( + ) k k * λ ˜ f λ ˜ f . Suppose that λ ˜ f ( + ) k k * λ ˜ f 0 . Then, we have
( λ ˜ f ( + ) k k * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( λ ˜ f + λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2 = ν + τ { λ ˜ f ( ν ) λ ˜ f ( τ ) } κ * κ 2 ν + τ λ ˜ f ( ν + τ ) κ * κ 2 = λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ) .
Thus, λ ˜ f ( + ) k k * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ . Similarly, λ ˜ f ( ) k k * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ . Again, ( λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = 0 , then λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ . Suppose that ( λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) 0 . Then, we have
( λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( λ ˜ f 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2 = y z λ ˜ f ( y ) z ν τ { 1 f ( ν ) λ ˜ f ( τ ) κ * κ 2 κ * κ 2 = y z z ν τ λ ˜ f ( y ) λ ˜ f ( τ ) κ * κ 2 κ * κ 2 y z z ν τ λ ˜ f ( y ν τ ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ) .
Therefore, λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ .
(⇐) Let , ϱ Υ . Then, by hypothesis, we have
λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ f κ κ * ̲ ( + ϱ ) ( λ ˜ f ( + ) k k * λ ˜ f ) ( + ϱ ) = + ϱ ν + τ { λ ˜ f ( ν ) λ ˜ f ( τ ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 .
Similarly, by hypothesis, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 .
We also have
λ ˜ f ( t s ) λ f κ κ * ̲ ( t s ) = ( λ ˜ f 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( t s ) κ * κ 2 = t ϱ p q λ ˜ f ( p ) ( 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( q ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) ( 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( t ϱ ) = λ ˜ f ( ) ( u , v ) A r s 1 f ( u ) λ ˜ f ( v ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) 1 f ( t ) λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 = λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 ,
as required. □
Theorem 7.
The following statements are equivalent in Υ:
(1)
Υ is regular.
(1)
λ f κ κ * λ ˜ f 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f for any ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ.
Proof. 
Assume that λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ . If Υ , then, as Υ is regular, ∃ t Υ such that t . Now, we have
( λ ˜ f 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( λ ˜ f 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2 = p q λ ˜ f ( p ) ( 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( q ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) ( 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f ) ( t ) = λ ˜ f ( ) t u v 1 f ( u ) λ ˜ f ( v ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) 1 f ( t ) λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 = λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 .
Thus, λ f κ κ * λ f 1 f ( ) κ κ * λ f .
( 2 ) ( 1 ) . Let B be a BI of Υ . Then, by Lemma 5, ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) B is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ . Thus, by hypothesis, we have
( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) B χ B ( ) k k * χ I ( ) k k * χ B = ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( B I B ] ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) ( B I B ] .
So B ( B R B ] . Since B is BI, so ( B R B ] B . Thus B = ( B R B ] . Hence, by ([9] Lemma 2.2), Υ is regular. □
Theorem 8.
The following statements are equivalent in Υ:
(1)
Υ is regular and intra-regular.
(2)
λ f κ κ * = λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f for any ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ.
Proof. 
(⇒) Suppose that λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ . As Υ is regular and intra-regular, a a x a and a y a 2 z . Therefore, a ( a x y a ) ( a y x a ) . We have
( λ ˜ f ( ) k k * λ ˜ f ) ( ) = ( λ ˜ f + λ ˜ f ) ( ) κ * κ 2 = p q { λ ˜ f ( p ) λ ˜ f ( q ) } κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( a x y a ) λ ˜ f ( a y x a ) κ * κ 2 λ f ( a ) κ * κ 2 = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( a ) .
Thus λ f κ κ * ̲ λ ˜ f ( ) k k * λ ˜ f . Since λ ˜ f is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI, so λ ˜ f ( ) k k * λ ˜ f λ f κ κ * ̲ . Hence λ f κ κ * = λ ˜ f ( ) κ κ * λ ˜ f .
( 2 ) ( 1 ) . Let B be a BI of Υ . Then, by Lemma 5, ( χ f κ κ * ̲ ) B is an ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ . Thus by hypothesis, we have
( χ f k k * ̲ ) B χ f B ( ) k k * χ f B = ( χ f k k * ̲ ) ( B B ] ( χ f k k * ̲ ) ( B B ] .
Therefore, B ( B B ] . Since B is BI, so ( B B ] B . Thus B = ( B B ] . Hence, by ([9], Theorem 3.12) Υ is regular. □
Definition 6.
Let t Υ and λ ˜ f F ( Υ ) . Define the following I t of Υ as
I t = { Υ | λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 } .
Lemma 6.
Let λ ˜ f be the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ. Then I t ( t Υ ) is the BI of Υ.
Proof. 
Let t Υ . As t I t , we have I t . Take any , ϱ I t . Then, λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( t ) κ * κ 2 and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( t ) κ * κ 2 . Since λ ˜ f is the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ , λ ˜ f ( + ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( r ) λ ˜ f ( y ) κ * κ 2 κ * κ 2 , so + ϱ I t . By a similar argument, ϱ I t .
Next, take any τ Υ and , ϱ I t . Then λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( t ) κ * κ 2 and λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( t ) κ * κ 2 . By hypothesis, λ ˜ f ( τ ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 . Therefore, λ ˜ f ( τ ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( a ) κ * κ 2 . Thus τ ϱ I t . Additionally, for any Υ and ϱ I t such that ϱ , we have I t . Hence, I t is a BI of Υ . □
Definition 7.
An ordered semiring Υ is called ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-simple if every ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI is constant. That is, , ϱ Υ ; we have λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ) = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ϱ ) , for each ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI λ ˜ f of Υ.
Theorem 9.
The ordered semiring Υ is bi-simple ⇔ it is ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-simple.
Proof. 
(⇒) Let λ ˜ f be the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ and , ϱ Υ . By Lemma 6, I is an left ideal of Υ . As Υ is bi-simple, I = R . So ϱ Υ . Thus, λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 . Therefore, λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ϱ ) = λ ˜ f ( ϱ ) κ * κ 2 λ ˜ f ( ) κ * κ 2 = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ) . Similarly, λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ϱ ) λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ) . Thus, λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ) = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ϱ ) , as required.
(⇐) Assume that I is the proper BI of Υ . By Lemma 5, ( λ f κ κ * ̲ ) I is the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -FBI of Υ . As Υ is ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-simple, λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ) = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( ϱ ) , , ϱ Υ . Let p I and q Υ . Then, λ f κ κ * ̲ ( p ) = λ f κ κ * ̲ ( q ) . As p I , we have λ f κ κ * ̲ ( p ) = κ * κ 2 . Therefore, λ f κ κ * ̲ ( q ) = κ * κ 2 , which implies that q I . Thus, I = Υ , and hence Υ is bi-simple. □

5. Conclusions

The notion of the ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideal, which is broader than the existing terminology, was introduced in this work. A condition is provided under which fuzzy bi-ideals and ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals coincide. Bi-ideals and ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals connections were taken into consideration. Regular and intra-regular ordered semirings were described in terms of ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-ideals and their ( κ * , κ ) -lower parts. Moreover, ( , ( κ * , q κ ) ) -fuzzy bi-simple ordered semirings were defined and characterized.
