Lattice operations on fuzzy implications and the preservation of the exchange principle
In this work, we solve an open problem related to the preservation of the exchange principle (EP) of fuzzy implications under lattice operations ([3], Problem 3.1.). We show that generalizations of the commutativity of antecedents (CA) to a pair of fuzzy implications (I,J)(I,J), viz., the generalized exchange principle and the mutual exchangeability are sufficient conditions for the solution of the problem. Further, we determine conditions under which these become necessary too. Finally, we investigate the pairs of fuzzy implications from different families such that (EP) is preserved by the join and meet operations
