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

Implication functions in interval-valued fuzzy set theory

Interval-valued fuzzy set theory is an extension of fuzzy set theory in which the real, but unknown, membership degree is approximated by a closed interval of possible membership degrees. Since implications on the unit interval play an important role in fuzzy set theory, several authors have extended this notion to interval-valued fuzzy set theory. This chapter gives an overview of the results pertaining to implications in interval-valued fuzzy set theory. In particular, we describe several possibilities to represent such implications using implications on the unit interval, we give a characterization of the implications in interval-valued fuzzy set theory which satisfy the Smets-Magrez axioms, we discuss the solutions of a particular distributivity equation involving strict t-norms, we extend monoidal logic to the interval-valued fuzzy case and we give a soundness and completeness theorem which is similar to the one existing for monoidal logic, and finally we discuss some other constructions of implications in interval-valued fuzzy set theory

Intersections between some families of (U,N)- and RU-implications

(U,N)-implications and RU-implications are the generalizations of (S,N)- and R-implications to the framework of uninorms, where the t-norms and t-conorms are replaced by appropriate uninorms. In this work, we present the intersections that exist between (U,N)-implications and the different families of RU-implications obtainable from the well-established families of uninorms

Contribució a l'estudi de les uninormes en el marc de les equacions funcionals.

Les uninormes són uns operadors d'agregació que, per la seva definició, es poden considerar com a conjuncions o disjuncions, i que han estat aplicades a camps molt diversos. En aquest treball s'estudien algunes equacions funcionals que tenen com a incògnites les uninormes, o operadors definits a partir d'elles. Una d'elles és la distributivitat, que és resolta per les classes d'uninormes conegudes, solucionant, en particular, un problema obert en la teoria de l'anàlisi no-estàndard. També s'estudien les implicacions residuals i fortes definides a partir d'uninormes, trobant solució a la distributivitat d'aquestes implicacions sobre uninormes. Com a aplicació d'aquests estudis, es revisa i s'amplia la morfologia matemàtica borrosa basada en uninormes, que proporciona un marc inicial favorable per a un nou enfocament en l'anàlisi d'imatges, que haurà de ser estudiat en més profunditat.Las uninormas son unos operadores de agregación que, por su definición se pueden considerar como conjunciones o disjunciones y que han sido aplicados a campos muy diversos.

In this work, some functional equations are studied, involving uninorms, or operators defined from them as unknowns. One of them is the distributivity equation, that is solved for all the known classes of uninorms, finding solution, in particular, to one open problem in the non-standard analysis theory. Residual implications, as well as strong ones defined from uninorms are studied, obtaining solution to the distributivity equation of this implications over uninorms. As an application of all these studies, the fuzzy mathematical morphology based on uninorms is revised and deeply studied, getting a new framework in image processing, that it will have to be studied in more detail

Implications in bounded systems

Abstract A consistent connective system generated by nilpotent operators is not necessarily isomorphic to Łukasiewicz-system. Using more than one generator function, consistent nilpotent connective systems (so-called bounded systems) can be obtained with the advantage of three naturally derived negations and thresholds. In this paper, implications in bounded systems are examined. Both R- and S-implications with respect to the three naturally derived negations of the bounded system are considered. It is shown that these implications never coincide in a bounded system, as the condition of coincidence is equivalent to the coincidence of the negations, which would lead to Łukasiewicz logic. The formulae and the basic properties of four different types of implications are given, two of which fulfill all the basic properties generally required for implications
