- based on any t-norm t and any continuous, strictly increasing function h from
[0 , 1] in [0 , 1] such that h (0) = 0 and h (1) = 1, we can define another t-norm t using
the formula [SCH 63]:
[0 , 1] 2 ,t ( x, y )= h 1 t h ( x ) ,h ( y ) .
( x, y )
[8.52]
This gives us a way of generating families of t-norms based on an example.
There are generic forms for t-norms and t-conorms with specific properties
[DUB 85]. We will now discuss the two most useful groups: archimedean and nilpo-
tent t-conorms.
A strictly monotonic, archimedean t-norm t verifies:
x
[0 , 1] ,t ( x, x ) <x,
[8.53]
( x, y, y )
[0 , 1] 3 ,y<y =
t ( x, y ) <t ( x, y ) .
[8.54]
Likewise, a strictly monotonic archimedean t-conorm T verifies the two following
properties:
x
[0 , 1] ,T ( x, x ) >x,
[8.55]
( x, y, y )
[0 , 1] 3 ,y<y =
T ( x, y ) <T ( x, y ) .
[8.56]
Any strictly monotonic, archimedean t-norm t can be expressed in the following
form:
[0 , 1] 2 ,t ( x, y )= f 1 f ( x )+ f ( y ) ,
( x, y )
[8.57]
where f , referred to as the generating function, is a continuous and decreasing bijec-
tion of [0 , 1] into [0 , +
] such that f (0) = +
and f (1) = 0.
The associated t-conorms have the following form:
[0 , 1] 2 ,T ( x, y )= ϕ 1 ϕ ( x )+ ϕ ( y ) ,
( x, y )
[8.58]
where the generating function ϕ is a continuous and increasing bijection of [0 , 1] into
[0 , +
] such that ϕ (0) = 0 and ϕ (1) = +
.
Such t-norms and t-conorms never satisfy the non-contradiction law and the ex-
cluded middle law. These laws are expressed as:
[0 , 1] ,t x, c ( x ) =0 ,
x
[8.59]
[0 , 1] ,T x, c ( x ) =1 .
x
