Modal characteristics and evolutive response of a bar in peridynamics involving a mixed operator

1.   Introduction

Henkin and Skolem introduced Hilbert algebras in the fifties for investigations in intuitionistic and other non-classical logics. Diego ^[4] proved that Hilbert algebras form a variety which is locally finite. Bandaru et al. introduced the notion of GE-algebras which is a generalization of Hilbert algebras, and investigated several properties (see ^[1,2,7,8,9]). The notion of interior operator is introduced by Vorster ^[12] in an arbitrary category, and it is used in ^[3] to study the notions of connectedness and disconnectedness in topology. Interior algebras are a certain type of algebraic structure that encodes the idea of the topological interior of a set, and are a generalization of topological spaces defined by means of topological interior operators. Rachůnek and Svoboda ^[6] studied interior operators on bounded residuated lattices, and Svrcek ^[11] studied multiplicative interior operators on GMV-algebras. Lee et al. ^[5] applied the interior operator theory to GE-algebras, and they introduced the concepts of (commutative, transitive, left exchangeable, belligerent, antisymmetric) interior GE-algebras and bordered interior GE-algebras, and investigated their relations and properties. Later, Song et al. ^[10] introduced the notions of an interior GE-filter, a weak interior GE-filter and a belligerent interior GE-filter, and investigate their relations and properties. They provided relations between a belligerent interior GE-filter and an interior GE-filter and conditions for an interior GE-filter to be a belligerent interior GE-filter is considered. Given a subset and an element, they established an interior GE-filter, and they considered conditions for a subset to be a belligerent interior GE-filter. They studied the extensibility of the belligerent interior GE-filter and established relationships between weak interior GE-filter and belligerent interior GE-filter of type 1, type 2 and type 3. Rezaei et al. ^[7] studied prominent GE-filters in GE-algebras. The purpose of this paper is to study by applying interior operator theory to prominent GE-filters in GE-algebras. We introduce the concept of a prominent interior GE-filter, and investigate their properties. We discuss the relationship between a prominent GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter and the relationship between an interior GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter. We find and provide examples where any interior GE-filter is not a prominent interior GE-filter and any prominent GE-filter is not a prominent interior GE-filter. We provide conditions for an interior GE-filter to be a prominent interior GE-filter. We provide conditions under which an internal GE-filter larger than a given internal GE filter can become a prominent internal GE-filter, and give an example describing it. We also introduce the concept of a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 and type 2, and investigate their properties. We discuss the relationship between a prominent interior GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1. We give examples to show that A and B are independent of each other, where A and B are:

$(1)$ $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \text{ A: prominent interior GE-filter of type 1.}\\ \text{ B: prominent interior GE-filter of type 2.} \end{array}\right.$

$(2)$ $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \text{ A: prominent interior GE-filter.}\\ \text{ B: prominent interior GE-filter of type 2.} \end{array}\right.$

$(3)$ $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \text{ A: interior GE-filter.}\\ \text{ B: prominent interior GE-filter of type 1.} \end{array}\right.$

$(4)$ $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \text{ A: interior GE-filter.}\\ \text{ B: prominent interior GE-filter of type 2.} \end{array}\right.$

2.   Preliminaries

Definition 2.1. ^[1] By a GE-algebra we mean a non-empty set ${X}$ with a constant $1$ and a binary operation ${*}$ satisfying the following axioms:

(GE1) ${u}{*} {u} = 1$,

(GE2) $1{*}{u} = {u}$,

(GE3) ${u}{*} ({v}{*} {w}) = {u}{*} ({v}{*} ({u}{*} {w}))$

for all ${u}, {v}, {w}\in {X}$.

In a GE-algebra ${X}$, a binary relation "$\le$" is defined by

Definition 2.2. ^[1,2,8] A GE-algebra ${X}$ is said to be transitive if it satisfies:

Proposition 2.3. ^[1] Every GE-algebra ${X}$ satisfies the following items:

If ${X}$ is transitive, then

Lemma 2.4. ^[1] In a GE-algebra ${X}$, the following facts are equivalent each other.

Definition 2.5. ^[1] A subset ${F}$ of a GE-algebra ${X}$ is called a GE-filter of ${X}$ if it satisfies:

Lemma 2.6. ^[1] In a GE-algebra ${X}$, every filter ${F}$ of ${X}$ satisfies:

Definition 2.7. ^[7] A subset ${F}$ of a GE-algebra ${X}$ is called a prominent GE-filter of ${X}$ if it satisfies (2.15) and

Note that every prominent GE-filter is a GE-filter in a GE-algebra (see ^[7]).

Definition 2.8. ^[5] By an interior GE-algebra we mean a pair $({X}, f)$ in which ${X}$ is a GE-algebra and $f :{X} \rightarrow {X}$ is a mapping such that

Definition 2.9. ^[10] Let $({X}, f)$ be an interior GE-algebra. A GE-filter ${F}$ of ${X}$ is said to be interior if it satisfies:

3.   Prominent interior GE-filters

Definition 3.1. Let $({X}, f)$ be an interior GE-algebra. Then a subset ${F}$ of ${X}$ is called a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ if ${F}$ is a prominent GE-filter of ${X}$ which satisfies the condition (2.22).

Example 3.2. Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 1.

Then ${X}$ is a GE-algebra. If we define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} = \{{1}, {4}, {5}\}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$.

It is clear that every prominent interior GE-filter is a prominent GE-filter. But any prominent GE-filter may not be a prominent interior GE-filter in an interior GE-algebra as seen in the following example.

Example 3.3. Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 2,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ is a prominent GE-filter of ${X}$. But it is not a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ since $f({2}) = {1}\in {F}$ but ${2}\notin {F}$.

We discuss relationship between interior GE-filter and prominent interior GE-filter.

Theorem 3.4. In an interior GE-algebra, every prominent interior GE-filter is an interior GE-filter.

Proof. It is straightforward because every prominent GE-filter is a GE-filter in a GE-algebra.

In the next example, we can see that any interior GE-filter is not a prominent interior GE-filter in general.

Example 3.5. Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 3.

Then ${X}$ is a GE-algebra. If we define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} = \{{1}\}$ is an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. But it is not a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ since ${1} {*} ({2}{*} {3}) = {1} \in {F}$ but $(({3}{*} {2}){*} {2}){*} {3} = {3} \notin {F}$.

Proposition 3.6. Every prominent interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ satisfies:

Proof. Let ${F}$ be a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. Let ${x}, {y}\in {X}$ be such that $f({x}{*} {y})\in {F}$. Then ${x}{*} {y}\in {F}$ by (2.22), and so $1{*} ({x}{*} {y}) = {x}{*} {y}\in {F}$ by (GE2). Since $1\in {F}$, it follows from (2.18) that $(({y}{*} {x}){*} {x}){*} {y} \in {F}$.

Corollary 3.7. Every prominent interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ satisfies:

Proof. Let ${F}$ be a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. Then ${F}$ is an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ by Theorem 3.4. Let ${x}, {y}\in {X}$ be such that ${x}{*} {y}\in {F}$. Since ${x}{*} {y} \le f({x}{*} {y})$ by (2.19), it follows from Lemma 2.6 that $f({x}{*} {y})\in {F}$. Hence $(({y}{*} {x}){*} {x}){*} {y} \in {F}$ by Proposition 3.6.

Corollary 3.8. Every prominent interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ satisfies:

Proof. Straightforward.

Corollary 3.9. Every prominent interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ satisfies:

Proof. Straightforward.

In the following example, we can see that any interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ does not satisfy the conditions (3.1) and (3.2).

Example 3.10. Consider the interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ in Example 3.4. The interior GE-filter ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ does not satisfy conditions (3.1) and (3.2) since $f({2}{*} {3}) = f({1}) = {1}\in {F}$ and ${2}{*} {3} = {1}\in {F}$ but $(({3}{*} {2}){*} {2}){*} {3} = {3} \notin {F}$.

We provide conditions for an interior GE-filter to be a prominent interior GE-filter.

Theorem 3.11. If an interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ satisfies the condition $(3.1)$, then ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$.

Proof. Let ${F}$ be an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ that satisfies the condition (3.1). Let ${x}, {y}, {z}\in {X}$ be such that ${x}{*} ({y}{*} {z})\in {F}$ and ${x}\in {F}$. Then ${y}{*} {z}\in {F}$. Since ${y}{*} {z} \le f({y}{*} {z})$ by (2.19), it follows from Lemma 2.6 that $f({y}{*} {z})\in {F}$. Hence $(({z}{*} {y}){*} {y}){*} {z} \in {F}$ by (3.1), and therefore ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$.

Lemma 3.12. ^[10] In an interior GE-algebra, the intersection of interior GE-filters is also an interior GE-filter.

Theorem 3.13. In an interior GE-algebra, the intersection of prominent interior GE-filters is also a prominent interior GE-filter.

Proof. Let $\{{F}_i \mid i\in \Lambda \}$ be a set of prominent interior GE-filters in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ where $\Lambda$ is an index set. Then $\{{F}_i \mid i\in \Lambda \}$ is a set of interior GE-filters in $({X}, f)$, and so $\cap \{{F}_i \mid i\in \Lambda \}$ is an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ by Lemma 3.12. Let ${x}, {y}\in {X}$ be such that $f({x}{*} {y})\in \cap \{{F}_i \mid i\in \Lambda \}$. Then $f({x}{*} {y})\in {F}_i$ for all $i\in \Lambda$. It follows from Proposition 3.6 that $(({y}{*} {x}){*} {x}){*} {y}\in {F}_i$ for all $i\in \Lambda$. Hence $(({y}{*} {x}){*} {x}){*} {y}\in \cap \{{F}_i \mid i\in \Lambda \}$ and therefore $\cap \{{F}_i \mid i\in \Lambda \}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ by Theorem 3.11.

Theorem 3.14. If an interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$ satisfies the condition $(3.2)$, then ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$.

Proof. Let ${F}$ be an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ that satisfies the condition (3.2). Let ${x}, {y}, {z}\in {X}$ be such that ${x}{*} ({y}{*} {z})\in {F}$ and ${x}\in {F}$. Then ${y}{*} {z}\in {F}$ and thus $(({z}{*} {y}){*} {y}){*} {z} \in {F}$. Therefore ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$.

Given an interior GE-filter ${F}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$, we consider an interior GE-filter ${G}$ which is greater than ${F}$ in $({X}, f)$, that is, we take two interior GE-filters ${F}$ and ${G}$ such that ${F} \subseteq {G}$ in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$. We are now trying to find the condition that ${G}$ can be a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$.

Theorem 3.15. Let $({X}, f)$ be an interior GE-algebra in which ${X}$ is transitive. Let ${F}$ and ${G}$ be interior GE-filters in $({X}, f)$. If ${F} \subseteq {G}$ and ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$, then ${G}$ is also a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$.

Proof. Assume that ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. Then it is an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ by Theorem 3.4. Let ${x}, {y}\in {X}$ be such that $f({x}{*} {y})\in {G}$. Then ${x}{*} {y}\in {G}$ by (2.22), and so $1 = ({x}{*} {y}){*} ({x}{*} {y})\le {x}{*} (({x}{*} {y}){*} {y})$ by (GE1) and (2.6). Since $1\in {F}$, it follows from Lemma 2.6 that ${x}{*} (({x}{*} {y}){*} {y})\in {F}$. Hence $(((({x}{*} {y}){*} {y}){*} {x}){*} {x}){*} (({x}{*} {y}){*} {y})\in {F} \subseteq {G}$ by Corollary 3.7. Since

by (2.6), we have $({x}{*} {y}){*} ((((({x}{*} {y}){*} {y}){*} {x}){*} {x}) {*} {y})\in {G}$ by Lemma 2.6. Hence

Since ${y}\le ({x}{*} {y}){*} {y}$, it follows from (2.11) that

Thus $(({y}{*} {x}){*} {x}){*} {y}\in {G}$ by Lemma 2.6. Therefore ${G}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. by Theorem 3.11.

The following example describes Theorem 3.15.

Example 3.16. Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 4,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra in which ${X}$ is transitive, and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ and ${G} : = \{{1}, {4}, {5}\}$ are interior GE-filters in $({X}, f)$ with ${F}\subseteq {G}$. Also we can observe that ${F}$ and ${G}$ are prominent interior GE-filters in $({X}, f)$.

In Theorem 3.15, if ${F}$ is an interior GE-filter which is not prominent, then ${G}$ is also not a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ as shown in the next example.

Example 3.17. Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 5,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra in which ${X}$ is transitive, and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ and ${G} : = \{{1}, {3}\}$ are interior GE-filters in $({X}, f)$ with ${F}\subseteq {G}$. We can observe that ${F}$ and ${G}$ are not prominent interior GE-filters in $({X}, f)$ since ${2} {*} {3} = 1\in {F}$ but $(({3} {*} {2}){*} {2}) {*} {3} = ({5} {*} {2}) {*} {3} = {1} {*} {3} = {3}\notin {F}$, and ${4} {*} {2} = {1} \in {G}$ but $(({2} {*} {4}){*} {4}) {*} {2} = ({4} {*} {4}) {*} {2} = {1} {*} {2} = {2}\notin {G}.$

In Theorem 3.15, if ${X}$ is not transitive, then Theorem 3.15 is false as seen in the following example.

Example 3.18. Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 6.

If we define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra in which ${X}$ is not transitive. Let ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ and ${G} : = \{{1}, {5}, {6}\}$. Then ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ and ${G}$ is an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ with ${F}\subseteq {G}$. But ${G}$ is not prominent interior GE-filter since ${5} {*} ({3} {*} {4}) = {5} {*} {5} = {1}\in {G}$ and ${5}\in {G}$ but $(({4} {*} {3}) {*} {3}){*} {4} = ({3}{*} {3}) {*} {4} = {1} {*} {4} = {4} \notin {G}$.

Definition 3.19. Let $({X}, f)$ be an interior GE-algebra and let ${F}$ be a subset of ${X}$ which satisfies (2.15). Then ${F}$ is called:

$\bullet$ A prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 in $({X}, f)$ if it satisfies:

$\bullet$ A prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 in $({X}, f)$ if it satisfies:

Example 3.20. (1). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 7,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}, {3}\}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 in $({X}, f)$.

(2). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 8,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}, {3}\}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 in $({X}, f)$.

Theorem 3.21. In an interior GE-algebra, every prominent interior GE-filter is of type 1.

Proof. Let ${F}$ be a prominent interior GE-filter in an interior GE-algebra $({X}, f)$. Let ${x}, {y}, {z}\in {X}$ be such that ${x}{*} ({y}{*} f({z}))\in {F}$ and $f({x})\in {F}$. Then ${x}\in {F}$ by (2.22). It follows from (2.18) that $((f({z}){*} {y}){*} {y}){*} f({z})\in {F}$. Hence ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 in $({X}, f)$.

The following example shows that the converse of Theorem 3.21 may not be true.

Example 3.22. Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in Table 9,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 in $({X}, f)$. But it is not a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ since ${1}{*} ({3}{*} {4}) = {1}\in {F}$ but $({4}{*} {3}){*} {3}){*} {4} = {4} \notin {F}$.

The following example shows that prominent interior GE-filter and prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 are independent of each other, i.e., prominent interior GE-filter is not prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 and neither is the inverse.

Example 3.23. (1). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 10,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. But it is not a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 since ${1}{*} ({5} {*} f({2})) = {5} {*} {5} = {1}\in {F}$ and $f({1}) = {1} \in {F}$ but $(({2} {*} f({5})){*} f(5)) {*} {2} = (({2} {*} {5}) {*} {5}) {*} {2} = ({1} {*} {5}) {*} {2} = {5} {*} {2} = {3}\notin {F}$.

(2). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 11,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type2 in $({X}, f)$. But it is not a prominent interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ since ${1}{*} ({2} {*} {3}) = {1} {*} {1} = {1}\in {F}$ and ${1}\in {F}$ but $(({3} {*} {2}){*} {2}) {*} {3} = ({2} {*} {2}) {*} {3} = {1} {*}{3} = {3}\notin {F}$.

The following example shows that prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 and prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 are independent of each other.

Example 3.24. (1). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 12,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}, {2}, {4}\}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 in $({X}, f)$. But it is not a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 since ${1}{*} ({5} {*} f({2})) = {1} {*} ({5} {*} {3}) = {1} {*} {1} = {1}\in {F}$ and $f({1}) = {1} \in {F}$ but $(({2} {*} f({5})){*} f(5)) {*} {2} = (({2} {*} {5}) {*} {5}) {*} {2} = ({5} {*} {5}) {*} {2} = {1} {*} {2} = {2}\notin {F}$.

(2). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 13,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 in $({X}, f)$. But it is not a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 in $({X}, f)$ since ${1}{*} ({5} {*} f(2)) = {1} {*} ({5} {*} {2}) = {1} {*} {1} = {1}\in {F}$ and $f({1})\in {F}$ but $((f(2) {*} {5}){*} {5}) {*} f(2) = (({2} {*} {5}){*} {5}) {*} {2} = ({5} {*} {5}) {*} {2} = {1} {*} {2} = {2}\notin {F}$.

The following example shows that interior GE-filter and prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 are independent of each other.

Example 3.25. (1). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 14,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}\}$ is an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. But ${F}$ is not prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 since ${1}{*} ({5} {*} f({2})) = {1} {*} ({5} {*} {2}) = {1} {*} {1} = {1}\in {F}$ and $f({1}) = {1} \in {F}$ but $((f({2}) {*} {5}){*} {5}) {*} {2} = (({2} {*} {5}) {*} {5}) {*} {2} = ({5} {*} {5}) {*} {2} = {1} {*} {2} = {2}\notin {F}$.

(2). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 15,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}, {2} \}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 in $({X}, f)$. But it is not an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ since ${2} {*} {4} = {1}$ and ${2} \in {F}$ but ${4} \notin {F}$.

The following example shows that interior GE-filter and prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 are independent of each other.

Example 3.26. (1). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 16,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}, {4}\}$ is an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$. But ${F}$ is not prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 since ${4}{*} ({2} {*} f({3})) = {4} {*} ({2} {*} {3}) = {4} {*} {1} = {1}\in {F}$ and $f({4}) = {1} \in {F}$ but $((3 {*} f({2})) {*} f(2)){*} {3} = (({3} {*} {2}) {*} {2}) {*} {3} = ({2} {*} {2}) {*} {3} = {1} {*} {3} = {3}\notin {F}$.

(2). Let ${X} = \{{1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}\}$ be a set with the Cayley table which is given in the following Table 17,

and define a mapping $f$ on ${X}$ as follows:

Then $({X}, f)$ is an interior GE-algebra and ${F} : = \{{1}, {2}, {5} \}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 in $({X}, f)$. But it is not an interior GE-filter in $({X}, f)$ since ${5} {*} {4} = {1}$ and ${5} \in {F}$ but ${4} \notin {F}$.

Before we conclude this paper, we raise the following question.

Question. Let $({X}, f)$ be an interior GE-algebra. Let ${F}$ and ${G}$ be interior GE-filters in $({X}, f)$. If ${F} \subseteq {G}$ and ${F}$ is a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 (resp., type 2) in $({X}, f)$, then is ${G}$ also a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 (resp., type 2) in $({X}, f)$?

4.   Conclusions

We have introduced the concept of a prominent interior GE-filter (of type 1 and type 2), and have investigated their properties. We have discussed the relationship between a prominent GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter and the relationship between an interior GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter. We have found and provide examples where any interior GE-filter is not a prominent interior GE-filter and any prominent GE-filter is not a prominent interior GE-filter. We have provided conditions for an interior GE-filter to be a prominent interior GE-filter. We have given conditions under which an internal GE-filter larger than a given internal GE filter can become a prominent internal GE-filter, and have provided an example describing it. We have considered the relationship between a prominent interior GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1. We have found and provide examples to verify that a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1 and a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2, a prominent interior GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2, an interior GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter of type 1, and an interior GE-filter and a prominent interior GE-filter of type 2 are independent each other. In future, we will study the prime and maximal prominent interior GE-filters and their topological properties. Moreover, based on the ideas and results obtained in this paper, we will study the interior operator theory in related algebraic systems such as MV-algebra, BL-algebra, EQ-algebra, etc. It will also be used for pseudo algebra systems and further to conduct research related to the very true operator theory.
