Local properties of strengthened ordered directional and other forms of monotonicity
In this study we discuss some of the recent generalized forms of monotonicity, introduced in the attempt of relaxing the monotonicity condition of aggregation
functions. Specifically, we deal with weak, directional, ordered directional and strengthened ordered directional monotonicity. We present some of the most
relevant properties of the functions that satisfy each of these monotonicity conditions and, using the concept of pointwise directional monotonicity, we carry out a
local study of the discussed relaxations of monotonicity. This local study enables to highlight the differences between each notion of monotonicity. We illustrate such
differences with an example of a restricted equivalence function.This work is supported by the project TIN2016-77356-P (AEI/FEDER, UE), by the Public University of Navarra under the project PJUPNA13 and by Slovak grant APVV-14-0013
