Description
Summary:In this study, we introduce the notion of the <i>T</i>-irreducible element as a generalization of the notion of the meet-irreducible element in complete lattices. We derive some related properties of these elements and <i>T</i>-prime elements. We prove that <i>T</i>-irreducible elements and <i>T</i>-prime elements are preserved under the isomorphism that is generated by the same t-norm. We discuss the relationship between the sets of <i>T</i>-prime elements and co-atoms under some conditions. We illustrate this discussion with some examples. We also give some characterizations for the sets of <i>T</i>-irreducible elements and <i>T</i>-prime elements on the direct product of lattices. Then, we show that Theorem 2 given by Karaçal and Sağıroğlu is false by giving some counterexamples. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the mentioned theorem to be correct.
