This is a continuation of work in previous papers [N. Ajmal and K.V. T
homas, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 58 (1993) 217; Inform. Sci. 76 (1994) 1]
. Here, we provide a common technique of constructing the join of fuzz
y substructures. Consequently, it leads to the formation of various ty
pes of lattices and sublattices of fuzzy substructures of a group incl
uding those of normal and quasinormal fuzzy subgroups. A lattice theor
etic relationship of these sublattices is established. Moreover, we pr
esent simple and direct proofs for the fact that the lattice of fuzzy
normal subgroups is modular. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
