We characterized regular and intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroups in terms of intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left (Γ-right, Γ-two-sided) ideals, intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-bi-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-(1,2)-ideals. We proved that all these intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-ideals coincide in intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroups. 2010 mathematics subject classification: 20M10 20N99 • Key words: Γ-LA-semigroups Γ-LA ** -semigroups Intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-ideals • • INTRODUCTION The fundamental concept of fuzzy sets was given by Zadeh [1], in 1965. Given a set S, a fuzzy subset of S is an arbitrary mapping ƒ: S→[0,1], where [0,1] is the unit interval. This concept was applied in [2] to generalize some of the basic concepts of general topology. Rosenfeld [3] was the first who consider the case when S is a groupoid. He gave the definition of fuzzy subgroupoid and the fuzzy left (right, two-sided) ideal of S and justified these definitions by showing that a subset A of a groupoid S is a subgroupoid or a left (right, two-sided) ideal of S if the characteristic function of A, that is 1, if x ∈ A C A (x) = 0, if x ∉ A is a fuzzy subgroupoid or a fuzzy left (right, two-sided) ideal of S. Kuroki was the first mathematician who applied the fuzzy sets to semigroup theory in [4]. Shabir et al. [5, 6], applied fuzzy sat theory to semigroups. Atanassov [7], introduced the concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy set. The relations between fuzzy sets and algebraic structures have been considered by many mathematicians, for instance, Aslam and Abdullah [8], Davvaz et al. [9], Jun et al. [10-12], Khan et al. [13] and Yaqoob et al. [14-16]. Kazim and Naseeruddin [17], introduced the concept of an LA -semigroup in 1972. In [18], the same structure is called a left invertive groupoid. Protic and Stevanovic called it an Abel-Grassmann's groupoid (AG-groupoid) [19]. Shah and Rehman [20], introduced the notion of Γ-AG-groupoids with left identity, but later on Faisal et al. [21], studied Γ-AG** -groupoid which generalizes the existing cocepts of Shah and Rehman, and also proved that a Γ-AGgroupoid with left identity becomes again an AG-groupoid with left identity. There are many mathematicians who added several results to the theory fuzzy LA -semigroups, see [22-32]. The pair (S, Γ) is called a Γ-groupoid if xαy ∈ S for all x,y∈S and α ∈ Γ . A Γ-groupoid (S, Γ) is called a ΓLA-semigroup if Γ-left invertive law holds for all x,y,z∈S and for all α,β ∈ Γ Corresponding Author: Faisal Yousafzai, Department of Mathematics, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Attock, Pakistan. 1710 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 (1) (xα y)β z = (zα y)β x A Γ-LA-semigroup also satisfies the Γ-medial law for all w,x,y,z∈S and for all α,β ,γ ∈ Γ (2) (wα x)β( yγz ) = (wα y)β (xγ z) A Γ-LA-semigroup is called a Γ-LA ** -semigroup if it satisfies the following law for all x,y,z∈S and for all α,β ∈ Γ (3) xα (yβz) = yα (xβ z) A Γ-LA ** -semigroup also satisfies the Γ-paramedial law for all w,x,y,z∈S and for all α,β ,γ ∈ Γ (4) (wα x)β( yγz ) = (zα y)β ( xγw ) Note that (3) and (4) also hold for a Γ-LA-semigroup with left identity but a Γ-LA-semigroup with left identity becomes an LA -semigroup with left identity. Indeed, if S is a Γ-LA-semigroup with left identity e and a,b∈S, then a αb = aα(eβb) = e α(aβb) = a β b where α,β ∈ Γ ⇒ α = β . Assume that (S,.) is an LA -semigroup and let γ be an operation on S. Define a γb = a.b for all a,b∈S, then S is a {γ}-LA-semigroup. Conversely, if S is a Γ-LA-semigroup and define a.b = aγ b for all a,b∈S, then (S,.) is an LA semigroup. This means that if S is a {γ}-LA-semigroup, then (S,.) is an LA -semigroup. Example 1: Let us consider the abelian group (R,+) of all real numbers under the binary operation of addition. If we define a ∗ b = b − a − r, where a,b,r ∈ R then (R,+) becomes an LA -semigroup. Indeed (a ∗ b)∗ c= c − (a∗ b)− r= c− (b− a− r) − = r c− b+ a+ r− r = c − b + a and (c ∗ b)∗ a= a − (c∗ b)− r= a− (b− c− r)− r= a− b+ c+ r− r = a − b + c Since (R,+) is commutative, so (a ∗ b) ∗ c =(c ∗ b) ∗a and therefore (R,*) satisfies a left invertive law. It is easy to observe that (R,*) is non-commutative and non-associative. PRELIMINARIES AND BASIC DEFINITIONS In this section we will present some basic definitions needed for our purpose. Definition 1: Let S be a Γ-LA-semigroup, a non-empty subset A of S is called a Γ-LA-subsemigroup if a γb ∈ A for all a, b∈A and γ ∈ Γ or if AΓA ⊆ A. Definition 2: A subset A of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called a Γ-left (Γ-right) ideal of S if S ΓA ⊆ A ( A ΓS ⊆ A ) and A is called a Γ-two-sided ideal of S if it is both a Γ-left ideal and a Γ-right ideal. Definition 3: A subset A of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called a Γ-generalized bi-ideal of S if ( A ΓS ) Γ A ⊆ A. 1711 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 Definition 4: A Γ-LA-subsemigroup A of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called a Γ-bi-ideal of S if ( AΓ S )Γ A⊆ A . Definition 5: A Γ-LA-subsemigroup A of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called a Γ-(1,2) ideal of S if ( AΓ S ) ΓA 2 ⊆ A . An intuitionistic fuzzy subset (briefly, IFS) A of S is an object having the form A = {(x, µA (x), λ A (x)): x ∈ S} The functions µA : S→[0,1] and λA : S→[0,1] denote the degree of membership and the degree of nonmembership respectively such that for all x∈S, we have 0 ≤ µA (x) + λ A (x) ≤ 1 For the sake of simplicity, we shall use the symbol A = (µA , λA ) for an IFS A = {(x, µA (x), λ A (x))/x ∈ S}. Let δ = (S δ , Θδ ) = {(x,S(x), Θ δ (x))} δ be an IFS where Sδ( x ) = 1 and Θδ (x) = 0 for all x∈S, then δ = (Sδ , Θδ ) will be carried out in operations with an IFS A = (µA , λA ) such that Sδ and Θδ will be used in collaboration with µA and λA respectively. Let A = (µA , λA ) and B = (µB, λB) be any two IFSs of a Γ-LA-semigroup S, then the Γ-product A oΓ B is defined by: ∨ {µ A (b) ∧ µB (c)} if a = bαc ( µA oΓ µ B ) (a) = a =b αc 0 otherwise and ∧ ( λA oΓ λ B ) (a) = a =b αc {λA (b) ∨ λ B (c)} 1 if a = bαc otherwise for all a,b,c∈S and α ∈ Γ. Let A = (µA , λA ) and B = (µB, λB) are IFSs of a Γ-LA-semigroup S. The symbols A∩B will mean the following IFS of S (µ A ∩ µ B )(x) = µA (x) ∧ µB (x), (λ A ∪ λ B)(x) = λ A (x) ∨ λ B (x) for all x in S. The symbols A∪B will mean the following IFS of S (µ A ∪ µ B )(x) = µA (x) ∨ µB (x), (λ A ∩ λ B)(x) = λ A (x) ∧ λ B (x) for all x in S. Assume that A and B are any IFSs of a Γ-LA-semigroup S, then A⊆B means that µ A (x) ≤ µ B(x) and λ A (x) ≥ λ B (x), for all x in S. Definition 6: An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-LA-subsemigroup of S if µ A (xαy) ≥ µ A (x) ∧ µA (y) and λ A (xαy) ≤ λA (x) ∨ λ A (y), for all x,y∈S and α ∈ Γ. 1712 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 Definition 7: An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S if µ A (xαy) ≥ µ A (y) and λ A (xαy) ≤ λA (y), for all x,y∈S and α ∈ Γ. Definition 8: An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of S if µ A (xαy) ≥ µ A (x) and λ A (xαy) ≤ λA (x), for all x,y∈S and α ∈ Γ. Definition 9: An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S if it is both an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left and an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of S. Definition 10: An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-generalized bi-ideal of S if µ A ((xαy) βz) ≥ µ A (x) ∧ µ A (z) and λ A ((xαy) βz) ≤ λA (x) ∨ λ A (z) , for all x,y,z∈S and α,β ∈ Γ. Definition 11: An intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-LA-subsemigroup A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-bi-ideal of S if µ A ((xαy) βz) ≥ µ A (x) ∧ µ A (z) and λ A ((xαy) βz) ≤ λA (x) ∨ λ A (z) , for all x,y,z∈S and α,β ∈ Γ. Definition 12: An intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-LA-subsemigroup A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-(1,2)-ideal of S if µ A ((xαw)β ( yγz ) ) ≥ µ A (x) ∧ µA (y) ∧ µA (z) and λ A ((wαx)β(yγz)) ≤ λ A (x) ∨ λ A (y) ∨ λA (z) for all w,x,y,z∈S and α,β ,γ ∈ Γ . REGULAR Γ-LA** -SEMIGROUPS IN TERMS OF INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY Γ-IDEALS An element a of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called a regular element of S if there exist x∈S and β,γ ∈ Γ such that a = (aβ x )γ a and S is called regular if every element of S is regular. Example 2: Let S = {1,2,3,4,5} and let Γ = {β ,γ } be the set of operations on S defined in the following tables. β 1 2 3 4 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 2 3 4 3 5 1 2 4 5 4 3 1 2 5 3 5 4 1 2 γ 1 2 3 4 5 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 3 1 2 4 3 5 4 1 2 5 4 3 5 1 2 3 5 4 Since (xβ y)γz = (zβ y)γ x for all x,y,z∈S and all β,γ ∈ Γ, therefore S is a Γ-LA-semigroup. Let Γ ={ γ}, then it is easy to check that S is a Γ-LA ** -semigroup. Indeed, (xγy) γz = (z γy) γx, and xγ( yγz ) = yγ (x γz) for all x,y,z∈S. It is easy to see that S is regular. Indeed, 1 = (1γ 2) γ1, 2 = (2γ 3)γ 2, 3 = (4γ 4)γ 3, 4 = (4γ 4)γ 4, 5 = (5γ 5) γ 5 . Define an IFS A = (µA , λA ) of S as follows: µ A (1) = 1 , µ A (2) = µA (3) = µ A (4) = µ A (5) = 0, λ A (1) = 0.3, λ A (2) = 0.4 and λ A (3) = λ A (4) = λ A (5) = 0.2, then clearly A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two- sided ideal of a S. 1713 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 Lemma 1: Let S be a Γ-LA-semigroup, then the following holds: (i) An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of S is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-LA-subsemigroup of S if and only if µ A oΓ µA ⊆ µA and λ A oΓ λA ⊇ λ A. (ii) An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of S is an is intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left (Γ-right) ideal of S if and only if S oΓ µA ⊆ µA and Θ oΓ λA ⊇ λ A (µ A oΓ S ⊆ µA and λ A oΓ Θ ⊇ λA ). Proof: The proof is straightforward. Lemma 2: [8] Let S be a regular Γ-LA-semigroup and let A = (µA , λA ) and B = (µB, λB) are any intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideals of S, then A o Γ B = A ∩ B . Example 3: Let us consider an LA -semigroup S = {a,b,c,d,e} in the following Cayley's table. . a b c d e a a a a a a b a e e b e c a e e c e d a c b d e e a e e e e Let Γ ={ γ} and define a mapping S × Γ × S → S by xγy = xy for all x,y∈S, then clearly S is a Γ-LA-semigroup but S is not regular, because c∈S is not regular. The converse of Lemma 2 is not true in general which is discussed in the following. Let us define an IFS A = (µA , λA ) of an LA -semigroup S in Example 3 as follows: µ A (a) = µ A (b) = µA (c) = 0.3, µ A (d) = 0.1 , µ A (e) = 0.4, λ A (a) = 0.2, λ A (b) = 0.3, λ A (c) = 0.4, λ A (d) = 0.5, λ A (e) = 0.2. Then it is easy to see that A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S. Define another IFS B = (µB, λB) of an LA -semigroup S as follows: µ B(a) = µ B (b) = µ B(c) = 0.5, µ B(d) = 0.4 , µ B(e) = 0.6, λ B(a) = 0.3, λ B(b) = 0.4, λ B(c) = 0.5, λ B(d) = 0.6, λ B(e) = 0.3. Then it is easy to observe that B = (µB, λB) is also an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ -two-sided ideals of S such that (µ A oΓ µB )(a) = {0.1, 0.3, 0.4} = ( µA ∩ µB )(a) for all a∈S and similarly (λ A oΓ λB )(a) = ( λA ∩ λ B ) for all a∈S, that zs, A o Γ B = A ∩ B but S is not regular . An IFS A = (µA , λA ) of a Γ-LA-semigroup is said to be Γ-idempotent if µ A oΓ µA = µ A and λ A oΓ λA = λ A , that is, A oΓ A = A. Lemma 3: Every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal A = (µA , λA ) of a regular Γ-LA-semigroup is Γ-idempotent. Proof: Assume that S is a regular Γ-LA-semigroup and let A = (µA , λA ) be an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S. Now for a∈S there exists x∈S such that a = (aα x)β a, where α,β ∈ Γ . Therefore, we have (µ A oΓ µA )(a) = ∨ {µ A (aα x) ∧ µ A (a)} ≥ µA (aα x) ∧ µ A (a) ≥ µ A (a) ∧ µ A (a) = µ A (a) a =( aα x β )a This shows that µ A oΓ µA ⊇ µA and by using Lemma 1, µ A oΓ µA ⊆ µA , therefore µ A oΓ µA = µA . Similarly we can show that λ A oΓ λA = λ A , which implies that A = (µA , λA ) is Γ-idempotent. Corollary 1: Every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal A = (µA , λA ) of a regular Γ-LA-semigroup is Γ-idempotent. 1714 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 Lemma 4: [8] In a regular Γ-LA-semigroup S, A o Γ δ = A and δ oΓ A = A holds for every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-twosided ideal A = (µA , λA ) of S, where δ = (Sδ , Θ δ ). Corollary 2: In a regular Γ-LA-semigroup S, A o Γ δ = A and δ oΓ A = A hold for every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal A = (µA , λA ) of S, where δ = (Sδ , Θ δ ). Theorem 1: The set of intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideals of a regular Γ-LA-semigroup S forms a semilattice structure with identity δ, where δ = (Sδ , Θδ ). Γ Γ Proof: Assume that lµλ is the set of intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideals of a regular Γ-LA-semigroup S and let A = (µA , λA ), B = (µB, λB) and C = (µC, λC) are any intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideals of lµλ. Clearly lµλ is closed and by Lemma 3, we have A o Γ A = A . Now by using Lemma 2, we get A oΓ B = BoΓ A . Therefore by using (1), we have (A oΓ B) o Γ C = (B o Γ A) o Γ C = (C oΓ A) oΓ B = (A oΓ C) oΓ B = (B oΓ C) oΓ A = A oΓ (B oΓ C) It is easy to see from Lemma 4 that δ is an identity in lµλ . Note that in a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S, the following holds S =S ΓS Lemma 5: Every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S. Proof: The proof is straightforward. Theorem 2: If A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S, then A(aα b) = A(bαa) holds for all a,b in S and α ∈ Γ . Proof: Let A = (µA , λA ) be an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S and let a,b∈S, then there exist x,y∈S such that a = (aα x)β a and b = (bλ y)µ b , where α,β ,ψ ,ρ ∈ Γ . Let ζ ∈ Γ, then by using (2) and (3), we have µ A (aζ b) = µA (((aαx)βa)ζ((bψy)µb)) = µA (((a αx) β(b ψy))ζ (aµ b)) = µA ((bβa)ζ((bψ y)µ (aα x))) ≥ µ A (bβa) = µA (((bψy) ρb) β((aαx)β a)) = µA (((bψy)ρ (aαx))β (bβ a)) = µA ((aρb) β((aα x)β (bψ y))) ≥ µA (aρb) This shows that µ A (aα b) = µ A (bαa) holds for all a,b in S, α ∈ Γ . Similarly λ A (aα b) = λ A (b αa) holds for all a,b in S and α ∈ Γ . Thus A(aα b) = A(bαa) holds for all a,b in S and α ∈ Γ . Corollary 3: If A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S, then A(aα b) = A(bαa) holds for all a,b in S and α ∈ Γ . Theorem 3: [8] Let S be a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup, then A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S if and only if A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-bi-ideal of S. 1715 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 Corollary 4: Let S be a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup, then A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S if and only if A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-generalized bi-ideal of S. Theorem 4: Let S be a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup, then A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-(1,2)-ideal of S if A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S. Proof: Suppose that A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of a regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S. Let w,x,y,z∈S, then there exist a,b∈S such that x = (xα a)β x and y = (yλ b) ηy, where α,β ,ρ ,η ∈ Γ . Let ξ,ζ ,ε ∈ Γ , then by using (1) and (3), we have µ A ((xξw )ζ(yε z)) = µ A ((((xα a) βx) ξw)ζ ( yεz ) ) = µA (((w β x) ξ(x αa))ζ ( yε z)) = µ A ((xξ((wβ x) αa))ζ (yε z)) = µ A (((yεz)ξ((w β x) αa)) ζx) ≥ µA (x) Now by using (3), (2) and (1), we have µ A ((xξw)ζ ( y zε ) ) = µ A (yζ ((xξ w )εz ) ) = µA (((yρb) ηy)ζ ((xξ w)ε z)) = µA (((yρb) η(xξw))ζ (yεz)) = µA (((((yρb)η y)ρb)η(xξw))ζ(yz)) ε = µA ((((bηy)ρ(yρb)) η(xξw))ζ( yεz ) ) = µA (((yρ((bη y)ρb))η (xξw))ζ( yεz ) ) = µA ((((xξw ) ρ( ( bηy ) ρb ) ) ηy ) (ζy zε) ) = µA ((((bηy)ρ((xξ w) ρb))ηy) ζ(yεz)) = µA (((yη((xξw) ρb))ρ(yη b))ζ (yz)) ε = µA ((yη((yρ((xξ w)ρ b))η b))ζ (yz)) ε = µA (((yεz) η(yρ((xξw )ρb))η b)))ζy) ≥ µA (y) Now by using (4) and (1), we have µ A ((xξw)ζ( yεz ) ) = µ A ((zξy) ζ(wεx)) = µ A (((wεx) ξy) ζz) ≥ µ A (z) Thus we get, µ A ((xξw)ζ( yεz ) ) ≥ µA (x) ∧ µA (y) ∧ µA (z) Similarly we can get λ A ((x ξw)ζ( y zε ) ) ≤ λ A (x) ∨ λ A (y) ∨ λ A (z). Thus A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-(1,2)-ideal of S. A Γ-LA-semigroup S is called a Γ-LA-band if a = aβ a for all a∈S, where β ∈ Γ. Theorem 5: Let S be a regular Γ-LA-band, then A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left (Γ-right) ideal of S if A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-(1,2)-ideal of S. Proof: The proof is straightforward. INTRA-REGULAR Γ-LA** -SEMIGROUPS IN TERMS OF INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY Γ-IDEALS An element a of a Γ-LA-semigroup S is called an intra-regular element of S if there exist x,y∈S and α,β ,γ ∈ Γ such that a = (xα (a βa)) γy and S is called intra-regular if every element of S is an intra-regular. Example 4: Let S = {a,b,c,d,e} and let Γ = {β ,γ } be the set of operations on S defined in the following tables. 1716 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 β a b c d e a a a a a a b e d c a b c b e d a c d c b e a d e d c b a e γ a b c d e a a a a a a b a b e d c c a c b e d d a d c b e e a e d c b Since (xβ y)γz = (zβ y)γ x for all x,y,z∈S and all β,γ ∈ Γ, therefore S is a Γ-LA-semigroup. Let Γ ={ γ}, then it is easy to see that S is intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup. Indeed (xγy)γz = (zγ y)γ x and xγ( yγz ) = yγ (x γz) for all x,y,z∈S, where for all a∈S there exist some x,y∈S such that a = (xγ ( aγa ) )γ y . Note that equation (5) also holds for an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S. Lemma 6: For an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S, the following holds. (i) Every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of S is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-semiprime. (ii) Every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-semiprime. (iii) Every intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-semiprime. Proof: (i): Assume that A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S and let a∈S, then there exist x,y∈S and α,β ,ε ∈ Γ such that a = (xα (a βa)) εy . Now by using (3), (1) and (4), we have µ A (a) = µ A ((xα(aβa))εy) = µA (( aα (x βa)) εy ) = µA (((( xα (a βa)) εy ) α( x βa )) εy) = µA ((((xβa) εy) α( xα ( aβ a) )) εy) = µA ((((a βa)εx)α (yα (xβa)))εy) = µA ((yα(yα(xβa)))ε ((aβ a)ε x)) = µA ((aβa)ε((yα(yα(xβa)))εx)) ≥ µA (aβa) and similarly we can show that λ A (a) ≤ λA (aβa) . Thus A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-semiprime. (ii): Let A = (µA , λA ) be an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S and let a∈S, then a = (xα (a βa)) εy for some x,y∈S and α,β ,γ ∈ Γ . Now by using (4), (3) and (1), we have µ A (a) = µ A ((xα(aβa))εy) = µA ((xα(aβ((xα(a βa)) εy))) εy) = µA ((xα((xα(aβa))β( aεy ) ) )εy ) = µA (((xα(aβa))α (xβ (a εy)))εy) = µA ((yα(xβ (aεy ) ) )ε( xα (aβ a))) ≥ µ A ( aβa ) Similarly we can show that λ A (a) ≤ λA (aβa) and therefore A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-semiprime. (iii): It can be followed from (i) and (ii). Lemma 7: [8] Let A = (µA , λA ) be an IFS of an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S, then A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S if and only if A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of S. Theorem 6: Let S be an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup and let A = (µA , λA ) be an IFS, then the following conditions are equivalent. (i) A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S. (ii) A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-bi-ideal of S. 1717 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 Proof: (i)⇒(ii) is simple. (ii)⇒(i): Let A = (µA , λA ) be an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-bi-ideal of an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S and let a∈S, then there exist x,y∈S and α,β ,ξ ∈ Γ such that a = (xα (a βa )) ξy. Let ρ ∈ Γ, then by using (3), (1) and (4), we have µ A (aρ b) = µ A (((xα ( aβa ))ξy)ρb) = µA (((a α ( xβa ))ξ y)ρ b) = µA ((bξy ) ρ( a (αx aβ) ) ) = µA (aρ((bξy )α(xβa))) = µA (aρ ((a ξx)α(yβb))) = µA ((a ξx)ρ(aα(yβb))) = µA (((aα(yβb))ξ x)ρ a) = µA (((((xα ( aβa ))ξy)α(yβ b))ξ x)ρ a) = µA (((((yβ b)ξy) α(x α ( aβa )))ξx)ρa) = µA (((((a βa) ξx) α(y α( yβb )))ξx ) ρa ) = µA (((xα (y α ( yβb )))ξ((aβ a) ξx)) ρa) = µA (((a βa) ξ((xα (yα (yβb)))ξ x))ρa) ≥ µA (aβ a) ∧ µA (a) Similarly we can show that λ A (aλ b) ≤ λA (a) , therefore A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-right ideal of S. Now by using Lemma 7, A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S. Theorem 7: Let S be an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup and let A = (µA , λA ) be an IFS, then the following conditions are equivalent. (i) A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S. (ii) A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-(1,2)-ideal of S. Proof: (i)⇒(ii) is simple. (ii)⇒(i): Assume that A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-(1,2) -ideal of an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup S and let b∈S, then there exists x,y∈S and α,β ,ξ ∈ Γ such that b = (x α ( b βb ) ) ξy. Let ρ ∈ Γ , then by using (3), (1) and (4), we have µ A (aρ b) = µ A (aρ ((xα ( b βb )) ξy)) = µA ((xα(bβb))ρ(aξy)) = µA ((bα(xβb))ρ(aξy)) = µA (((aξy)α(xβb))ρb) = µA (((a ξy)α(xβ b))ρ ((xα ( b βb )) ξy)) = µA ((xα(bβb)) ρ(((aξy)α(xβb))ξy)) = µA ((yα((aξ y)α (xβb)))ρ ((bβb)ξx)) = µA ((bβb) ρ((yα ((aξ y)α (xβb)))ξx)) = µA ((xβ(y α((aξ y)α (xβb))))ρ(bξb)) = µA ((xβ(y α((bξ x)α (yβa))))ρ(bξb)) = µA ((xβ((bξx )α(yα(yβa))))ρ(bξb)) = µA (((bξx )β( xα(yα(yβa))))ρ(bξb)) = µA (((((xα ( bβb )ξ) y)ξ x)β (xα (yα (yβ a))))ρ(bξb)) = µA (((xξy) ξ(x α(bβb)))β ((xα(yα(yβa))))ρ(bξb)) = µA (((((bβb)ξx) ξ(y αx))β (xα (yα(yβa))))ρ(bξb)) = µA (((((yαx)ξx) ξ(b βb))β (xα (yα(yβa))))ρ(bξb)) = µA ((((yα(yβa)) ξx) β((bβb) α((yα x)ξx)))ρ(bξb)) = µA ((((yα(yβa)) ξx) β((bβb) α((xα x)ξy)))ρ(bξb)) = µA (((bβb)β(((yα(yβa))ξ x)α ((xα x)ξy)))ρ(bξb)) = µA (((((xαx)ξy)β((yα(yβa))ξ x))β (bα b))ρ (bξ b)) = µA ((bβ (((xαx)ξy)β(((yα(yβa))ξx)αb)))ρ(bξb)) ≥ µ A (b) ∧ µ A (b) ∧ µ A (b) = µ A (b) Similarly we can show that λ A (aλ b) ≤ λA (b) , therefore A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-left ideal of S. Now by using Lemma 7, A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-two-sided ideal of S. Theorem 8: Let S be an intra-regular Γ-LA ** -semigroup and let A = (µA , λA ) be an IFS, then the following conditions are equivalent. (i) A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-bi-ideal of S. (ii) A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-generalized bi-ideal of S. 1718 World Appl. Sci. J., 19 (12): 1710-1720, 2012 Proof: (i)⇒(ii) is obvious. (ii)⇒(i): Assume that A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-generalized bi-ideal of an intra-regular LA semigroup S and let a∈S, then there exist x,y∈S and α,β ,ξ ∈ Γ such that a = (xα (a βa )) ξy. Let ρ,ξ ,ε ∈ Γ , then by using (3), (4), (4) and (1), we have µ A (aρ b) = µ A (((xα ( aβa ))ξy)ρb) = µA (((a α(xβa))ξy)ρb) = µA ((((uξv)α(xβa))ξy)ρb) = µA ((((aξx) α(v βu))ξ y)ρ b) = µA (((vα((aξ x)β u))ξ (sεt))ρb) = µA (((tαs)ξ(((aξx) βu) εv)) ρb) = µA (((tαs)ξ((vβ u)ε( a ξx ) ) )ρb ) = µA (((tαs)ξ(aε ((vβ u)ξx)))ρb) = µA ((aξ((tα s)ε ((vβ u)ξx)))ρb) ≥ µA (a) ∧ µ A (b) Similarly we can show that λ A (ab) ≤ λA (a) ∨ λ A (b) , therefore A = (µA , λA ) is an intuitionistic fuzzy Γ-bi-ideal of S.
