- Description
- In [6] and [7] we classi_ed fuzzy subgroups of some rank-3 abelian groups of the form G = Zpn + Zp + Zp for any _xed prime integer p and any positive integer n, using the natural equivalence relation de_ned in [40]. In this thesis, we extend our classi_cation of fuzzy subgroups in [6] to the group G = Zpn + Zpm + Zp for any _xed prime integer p; m = 2 and any positive integer n using the same natural equivalence relation studied in [40]. We present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups of G for any n;m _ 2 and (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups for m = 2 and n _ 2. We have also developed user-friendly polynomial formulae for the number of (iv) subgroups, (v) maximal chains for the group G = Zpn + Zpm for any n;m _ 2; any _xed prime positive integer p and (vi) distinct fuzzy subgroups of Zpn + Zpm for m equal to 2 and 3, and n _ 2 and provided their proofs.
