After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh [8], there have been a number of generalizations of fundamental concept. The notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduced by Atanassov is one among them. An intuitionistic fuzzy set is also called a bifuzzy set according to [5]. In this paper, we apply the concept of a bifuzzy set to (implicative) ideals in pseudo MV-algebras. The notion of a bifuzzy (implicative) ideal of a pseudo MV-algebra is introduced, and some related properties are investigated. Conditions for a bifuzzy set to be a bifuzzy ideal are given, and characterizations of a bifuzzy (implicative) ideal are provided. Using a family of ideals, bifuzzy ideals are established.
