Abstract: Directed fuzzy hypergraphs are introduced as a generalization of both crisp directed hypergraphs and directed fuzzy graphs. It is proved that the set of all directed fuzzy hypergraphs can be structured into a magmoid with operations graph composition and disjoint union. In this framework a notion of syntactic recognition inside magmoids is defined. The corresponding class is proved to be closed under boolean operations and inverse morphisms of magmoids. Moreover, the language of all strongly connected fuzzy graphs and the language that consists of all fuzzy graphs that have at least one directed path from the begin node to the end node through edges with membership grade 1 are recognizable. Additionally, a useful characterization of recognizability through left derivatives is also achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
