Special Issue: Guest editorial [Summer School on Aggregation Operators, Related Techniques and Their Applications AGOP'2003]
From the concept of attractor of a family of contractive affine transformations in the Euclidean plane R, we study the fractality property of the De Rham function and other singular functions wich derive from it. In particular, we show as fractals the strong negations called k-negations.
A new construction method for aggregation operators based on a composition of aggregation operators is proposed. Several general properties of this construction method are recalled. Further, several special cases are discussed. It is also shown, that this construction generalizes a recently introduced twofold integral, which is exactly a composition of the Choquet and Sugeno integral by means of a min operator.
The aim of this work is to investigate when a weighted sum, or in other words, a linear combination, of two or more aggregation operators leads to a new aggregation operator. For weights belonging to the real unit interval, we obtain a convex combination and the answer is known to be always positive. However, we will show that also other weights can be used, depending upon the aggregation operators involved. A first set of suitable weights is obtained by a general method based on the variation of...
This work is devoted to find and study some possible idempotent operators on a finite chain L. Specially, all idempotent operators on L which are associative, commutative and non-decreasing in each place are characterized. By adding one smoothness condition, all these operators reduce to special combinations of Minimum and Maximum.
The concept of usability of man-machine interfaces is usually judged in terms of a number of aspects or attributes that are known to be subject to some rough correlations, and that are in many cases given different importance, depending on the context of use of the application. In consequence, the automation of judgment processes regarding the overall usability of concrete interfaces requires the design of aggregation operators that are capable of modeling approximate or ill-defined interactions...
