Fixed and variable-basis fuzzy closure operators
  Closure operators are very useful tools in several areas of classical mathematics and in general category theory. In fuzzy set theory, fuzzy closure operators have been studied by G. Gerla (1966). These works generally define a fuzzy subset as a mapping from a set X to the real unit interval, as a complete and complemented lattice. More recently, Y. C. Kim (2003), F. G. Shi (2009), J. Fang and Y. Yue (2010) propose theories of fuzzy closure systems and fuzzy closure operators in a more general settings, but still using complemented lattices. The aim of this paper is to propose a more general theory of fixed and variable-basis fuzzy closure operators, employing both categorical tools and the lattice theoretical fundations investigated by S. E. Rodabaugh (1999), where the lattices are usually non-complemented. Besides, we construct topological categories in both cases.
