showing that one of the two operators
can be defined by the other and the
complementation. With fuzzy sets in standard algebras, these laws are

that correspond to the functional equations in the unknowns T , S and N
T

) =

S

N

for all a

Obviously, law (1) does hold if and only if T

b in

=

S

)
and law (2)
does hold if and only if S
, two formulas that are equivalent
since, for example, from the first it follows (with N 2
=
N
T
(
N

N
)
=

T
=
S
(

)
or N
, that is, the second formula.
Hence, the two De Morgan laws hold in an algebra given by the triplet
S
=
T
(
N

N
)
(
T
,
S
,
N
)
if and only if T
=
N
S
(
N

N

, that is, T and S are N -dual.

With classical sets it always holds A

. With fuzzy sets, when is it
μ · μ = μ 0 ?
The equation to be solved is
T

N

0
,
for all a
∈[
0
,
1
]
in the unknowns T and N .
Theorem 2.2.41
If T is a continuous t-norm, and N is a strong negation, it is
T
(
a
,
N
(
a
)) =
0 for all a
∈[
0
,
1
]
, if and only if T
=
W ˕ and N
N ˕ .
Proof With the fixed point n
(
0
,
1
)
of N ,itfollows T
(
n
,
n
) =
0, that is, T has zero-

N
(

or max
(

for all a

. Hence
