Abstract

In this paper we present equivalent characterizations of k-Kernel symmetric Matrices. Necessary and sufficient conditions are determined for a matrix to be k-Kernel Symmetric. We give some basic results of kernel symmetric matrices. It is shown that k-symmetric implies k-Kernel symmetric but the converse need not be true. We derive some basic properties of k-Kernel symmetric fuzzy matrices. We obtain k-similar and scalar product of a fuzzy matrix.
