Abstract: - There are four different types of fuzzy implications in fuzzy logic, referred to as (S, N)-
Implications, R-Implications, QL-Implications, and D-Implications. Only one research work on the
implications of two functional equations for the Hyers-Ulam stability for (S, N) has been published recently.
The Hyers-Ulam stability of two functional equations for QL-Implication is being examined in this study.
Keywords: - Fuzzy implication, QL-Implication, Stability.

1 Introduction
In 1964, the problem of the stability of the
functional equations has been presented to Ulam. He
asked if it is potential to find near a function that
satisfies the equation precisely (S. M. Ulam, 1964)).
In 1941, Gerhard Hyers presented a partial solution,
also in 1978, Song and Rassias established the
Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability problem of the
functional equation. This problem was named as
Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability problem. Many
studies have looked into the problems of stability of
several equations. The stability of classical
functional equations including the additive
mappings, quadratic equations, cubic equations in
the fuzzy normed space, and various differential
fuzzy equations was also investigated. In these
equations, however, there is no fuzzy implication,
[5], [8], [10], [11]
The first study on the stability of two functional
equations for fuzzy implication, [13], was finished
in the year 2020, although this study only looks at
the first type of fuzzy implication (S, N)-
implication. Studying this equation's stability for the
QL-Implication problem that this research is trying
to solve is fascinating, [7].
This study examines fuzzy implications that come
near to, but don't completely, satisfy these
equations. The Hyers-Ulam stability of the QL-
implication iterative functional equations is then
established. But, if there is a fuzzy negation N, t-
norm, and t-conorm, we declare that the implication
is QL-Implication as follows: 󰇛 󰇜
󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇜󰇜, [3], [4].
We would examine the Hyers-Ulam stability of the
following two functional equations for QL-
Implication in our work:

derived Boolean law which formulated in fuzzy
logic 󰇛 󰇜  󰇛 󰇜 for -

In fuzzy logic, where quantum mechanics is
employed as a detriment to conventional reasoning,
QL-implications are presented by analogy. The
extension of the quantum logic implication is now
referred to as a QL operation.
The abbreviation for a quantum logic fuzzy
implication is QL-implication. Using inspiration
from the classical logic equivalence, fuzzy negation,
a t-norm, and a t-conorm provide a QL-implication.

3 Stability
The Boolean law and the law of importation are
tautologies in classical logic, but they are two
fundamental features of fuzzy logic. Answers to
their solution have surfaced in recent years, [9]. The
stability of the fuzzy functional equation with fuzzy
implications has not yet been discovered, though.
In response to Ulam's query from 1940, researchers
are looking at stability issues as they pertain to
functional equations (S.M.Ulam, 1964), he
suggested the stability question mentioned below:
Let  are 2 groups, D (·, ·) is a metric on .
A number ɛ > 0 is given, and there is a δ > 0 as if a
mapping  fulfilled
󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇜 󰇛󰕂󰇜For all α, β
K1,
So, there is a group homomorphism 
and:
󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜󰇜 󰕂 For all α
K1 .
When the reply is in the affirmative, the equation h
(αβ) = h ) h (β) of the homomorphism is then
named stable.
In another formulation, the homomorphism equation
is said to be stable if and only if all the
approximations can be made using this equation's
solution.
Hyers originally proposed a solution to the Ulams
puzzle in 1941, and he established the following
theorem:
Theorem 3.1 [13], let  is a function
between the 2 Banach spaces K1 and K2 as
󰇛 󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰕂for some ɛ ≥ 0,
for every α, β K1. There is only a unique function
 satisfying 󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰕂, and
󰇛 󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜 for any α, β
.
Because of the Ulam question and answer of Hyers,
that type of stability is named Hyers-Ulam stability.
In 2020, [13], explored the law of importation for
(S, N)-an implication that is the first kind of fuzzy
implication and Hyers Ulam stability for Boolean
law, [13]. They look at hazy implications that,
although not quite fitting these equations, come
near.
3.1 The Study of Hyers-Ulam Stability for
Quantum Logic
There are four different kinds of fuzzy implication
(S, N), as well as R, QL, D-implication, and
functional equations as attributes. Recently, the
stability of these functional equations for (S, N)
implication was explored. We attempt to prove the
Hyers-Ulam stability of two functional equations for
QL-implication, a different kind of fuzzy
implication, in the present section, [13].
Fuzzy implication properties come in many different
forms, including identification, importation law,
exchange principle, and others. In fuzzy thinking,
these qualities are crucial, [4]. Earlier works on
functional equations have always been solutions-
oriented.

is referred to as a fuzzy implication in what is
known as derived Boolean law. There have been
several types of research regarding the solution of
this functional equation for various implications
since Shi and his associates identified the solution
for equation (1) for various types of fuzzy
implications, [4].

In equation (2), which is frequently referred to as
the importation law, stands for a fuzzy implication
and stands for the t-norm. Jayaram clarified the
importation laws resolution for several murky
consequences, [3]. Many investigations that
followed concentrated on solving equation (2) with
various implications.

equations with fuzzy implications have received
little attention.
The current portion introduces the study of Hyers-
Ulam stability for equations (1) and (2) for QL-
implication.
Many studies on stability exist, including one that
examines the stability of conventional functional
equations, [9].
Yet, these equations do not have any fuzzy
implications. 2020 saw the study of Hyers-Ulam
stability for two functional equations, [13].
Finding a stable QL-implication is what we're
aiming for, so in other expressions when we take a
fuzzy implication satisfying the inequality.

Theorem 3.5. Let I is a QL-implication which is
defined by the strong negation N and a t-conorm S,
so it fulfills Eq. (11) with t-norm T only when T
=TM
Theorem 3.6 Let I is a QL-implication which is
defined using the strong negation N and a t-norm T
and a t-conorm. when for some ɛ > 0, I satisfy
inequality (12), so there is a QL-implication Q
fulfilling Eq. (11) and
󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜 󰕂 for any p, q[0,1]. (13)
Proof.
(i) Let 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇜󰇜, then Q
is a QL-implication satisfying Equation (11)
(ii) Now we prove Equation (13). Let σ = 0,
and󰇛󰇜 .
󰇛󰇛 󰇜 󰇜 󰇛󰇛 󰇜 󰇜=
󰇛󰇛󰇛 󰇜󰇜 󰇛󰇛 󰇜󰇜=󰇛 󰇜
=󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜= 󰇛󰇜󰇛 󰇛󰇜󰇜.
Thus,
󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇛󰇜󰇜 󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜
We have
󰇛󰇜󰇛 󰇛󰇜󰇜 󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇛󰇜󰇜
󰇛󰇜󰇛 󰇛󰇜󰇜 󰕂
As N is continuous, the range of N remains [0,1].
After that, the equation mentioned above can be
rewritten as follows:
󰇛󰇜 󰠸 󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰠸󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰠸󰇜 󰕂 for
any 󰠸 󰇟].
So,  󰇛 󰠸󰇜 󰇛 󰠸󰇜 󰕂 then we have
󰇛 󰠸󰇜 󰇛 󰠸󰇜 󰕂 For any  󰠸 󰇟󰇠
For all the strong negation N, there is a new strong
negation N1 as:
 1󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜 ɛ for all p [0, 1].
So, the (S, N)-implication in the above theorem isn’t
unique.
Let󰇛 󰇜 󰇛󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇜󰇜, then we
have, for any p [0, 1].
 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜
󰇛1󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇜󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇜
0 1󰇛󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰕂
and we have
󰕂 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜 
from 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜ɛ. Then we obtain
󰕂 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜
󰕂
󰕂 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛 󰇜 󰕂 for any p [0,1].
Then 󰇛 󰇜 󰇛󰇜 󰇛 󰇜 is a new
QL-implication fulfilling Eq. (11) and (13) and this
shows uniqueness.
4 Conclusion and Future Work
In this work, we attempted to demonstrate the
Hyers-Ulam stability of two functional equations for
QL-implications with N strong continuous negation,
T the lowest t-norm, and S the maximum t-conorm.
The other QL-implication Q is close to I with a tiny
inaccuracy and satisfies these equations if the two
functional equations hold. This indicates that there
exists a solution for equations (1) and (2) under
sufficient constraints on the functions involved in
"near" any solution of the inequality (6). (2). There
are more functional equations and fuzzy
implications for future investigation. It would be
necessary to provide more information and talk
about the stability issue with those equations.
