On the distributivity equation for uni-nullnorms

summary:A uni-nullnorm is a special case of 2-uninorms obtained by letting a uninorm and a nullnorm share the same underlying t-conorm. This paper is mainly devoted to solving the distributivity equation between uni-nullnorms with continuous Archimedean underlying t-norms and t-conorms and some binary operators, such as, continuous t-norms, continuous t-conorms, uninorms, and nullnorms. The new results differ from the previous ones about the distributivity in the class of 2-uninorms, which have not yet been fully characterized

On triangular norms and uninorms definable in ŁΠ12

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the definability of classes of t-norms and uninorms in the logic ŁΠ12. In particular we provide a complete characterization of definable continuous t-norms, weak nilpotent minimum t-norms, conjunctive uninorms continuous on [0,1), and idempotent conjunctive uninorms, and give both positive and negative results concerning definability of left-continuous t-norms (and uninorms). We show that the class of definable uninorms is closed under construction methods as annihilation, rotation and rotation–annihilation. Moreover, we prove that every logic based on a definable uninorm is in PSPACE, and that any finitely axiomatizable logic based on a class of definable uninorms is decidable. Finally we show that the Uninorm Mingle Logic (UML) and the Basic Uninorm Logic (BUL) are finitely strongly standard complete w.r.t. the related class of definable left-continuous conjunctive uninorms

Distributivity of strong implications over conjunctive and disjunctive uninorms

summary:This paper deals with implications defined from disjunctive uninorms $U$ by the expression $I(x,y)=U(N(x),y)$ where $N$ is a strong negation. The main goal is to solve the functional equation derived from the distributivity condition of these implications over conjunctive and disjunctive uninorms. Special cases are considered when the conjunctive and disjunctive uninorm are a $t$-norm or a $t$-conorm respectively. The obtained results show a lot of new solutions generalyzing those obtained in previous works when the implications are derived from $t$-conorms

The quest for rings on bipolar scales

We consider the interval $]{-1},1[$ and intend to endow it with an algebraic structure like a ring. The motivation lies in decision making, where scales that are symmetric w.r.t.~$0$ are needed in order to represent a kind of symmetry in the behaviour of the decision maker. A former proposal due to Grabisch was based on maximum and minimum. In this paper, we propose to build our structure on t-conorms and t-norms, and we relate this construction to uninorms. We show that the only way to build a group is to use strict t-norms, and that there is no way to build a ring. Lastly, we show that the main result of this paper is connected to the theory of ordered Abelian groups.

Notes on locally internal uninorm on bounded lattices

summary:In the study, we introduce the definition of a locally internal uninorm on an arbitrary bounded lattice $L$. We examine some properties of an idempotent and locally internal uninorm on an arbitrary bounded latice $L$, and investigate relationship between these operators. Moreover, some illustrative examples are added to show the connection between idempotent and locally internal uninorm

Visual characterization of associative quasitrivial nondecreasing operations on finite chains

In this paper we provide visual characterization of associative quasitrivial nondecreasing operations on finite chains. We also provide a characterization of bisymmetric quasitrivial nondecreasing binary operations on finite chains. Finally, we estimate the number of functions belonging to the previous classes.Comment: 25 pages, 18 Figure
