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

Distributivity of ordinal sum implications over overlap and grouping functions

summary:In 2015, a new class of fuzzy implications, called ordinal sum implications, was proposed by Su et al. They then discussed the distributivity of such ordinal sum implications with respect to t-norms and t-conorms. In this paper, we continue the study of distributivity of such ordinal sum implications over two newly-born classes of aggregation operators, namely overlap and grouping functions, respectively. The main results of this paper are characterizations of the overlap and/or grouping function solutions to the four usual distributive equations of ordinal sum fuzzy implications. And then sufficient and necessary conditions for ordinal sum implications distributing over overlap and grouping functions are given

Decision Making by Hybrid Probabilistic - Possibilistic Utility Theory

It is presented an approach to decision theory based upon nonprobabilistic uncertainty. There is an axiomatization of the hybrid probabilisticpossibilistic mixtures based on a pair of triangular conorm and triangular norm satisfying restricted distributivity law, and the corresponding non-additive Smeasure. This is characterized by the families of operations involved in generalized mixtures, based upon a previous result on the characterization of the pair of continuous t-norm and t-conorm such that the former is restrictedly distributive over the latter. The obtained family of mixtures combines probabilistic and idempotent (possibilistic) mixtures via a threshold.Decision making, Utility theory, Possibilistic mixture, Hybrid probabilistic- possibilistic mixture, Triangular norm, Triangular conorm, Pseudoadditive measure.

On the distributivity of T-power based implications

Due to the fact that Zadeh's quantifiers constitute the usual method to modify fuzzy propositions, the so-called family of T-power based implications was proposed. In this paper, the four basic distributive laws related to T-power based fuzzy implications and fuzzy logic operations (t-norms and t-conorms) are deeply studied. This study shows that two of the four distributive laws of the T-power based implications have a unique solution, while the other two have multiple solutions

Fitting aggregation operators to data

Theoretical advances in modelling aggregation of information produced a wide range of aggregation operators, applicable to almost every practical problem. The most important classes of aggregation operators include triangular norms, uninorms, generalised means and OWA operators.With such a variety, an important practical problem has emerged: how to fit the parameters/ weights of these families of aggregation operators to observed data? How to estimate quantitatively whether a given class of operators is suitable as a model in a given practical setting? Aggregation operators are rather special classes of functions, and thus they require specialised regression techniques, which would enforce important theoretical properties, like commutativity or associativity. My presentation will address this issue in detail, and will discuss various regression methods applicable specifically to t-norms, uninorms and generalised means. I will also demonstrate software implementing these regression techniques, which would allow practitioners to paste their data and obtain optimal parameters of the chosen family of operators.<br /

Migrativity properties of 2-uninorms over semi-t-operators

summary:In this paper, we analyze and characterize all solutions about $\alpha$-migrativity properties of the five subclasses of 2-uninorms, i. e. $C^{k}$, $C^{0}_{k}$, $C^{1}_{k}$, $C^{0}_{1}$, $C^{1}_{0}$, over semi-t-operators. We give the sufficient and necessary conditions that make these $\alpha$-migrativity equations hold for all possible combinations of 2-uninorms over semi-t-operators. The results obtained show that for $G\in C^{k}$, the $\alpha$-migrativity of $G$ over a semi-t-operator $F_{\mu,\nu}$ is closely related to the $\alpha$-section of $F_{\mu,\nu}$ or the ordinal sum representation of t-norm and t-conorm corresponding to $F_{\mu,\nu}$. But for the other four categories, the $\alpha$-migrativity over a semi-t-operator $F_{\mu,\nu}$ is fully determined by the $\alpha$-section of $F_{\mu,\nu}$

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
