We discuss the problem of factorization of residuated lattices by similarity relations. As the main result, we introduce a natural structure of residuated lattice on factorized residuated lattice. Some consequences are also discussed: the problem of representatives and factor projections, sequential factorization, application to fuzzy sets, application to factorization of concept lattices of data with fuzzy attributes.
Key Words: Fuzzy logic Factorization Residuated lattice Similarity Concept lattice
