On copulas, quasicopulas and fuzzy logic (Q939182): Difference between revisions

The authors discuss the possibility to interpret the conjunction in fuzzy logics by a copula or a quasicopula. In contrast to t-norms, quasicopulas are not necessarily associative, and it is shown that associativity is exactly what makes the difference in logics: The logic of associative copulas and their corresponding residua is BL, the logic of continuous t-norms and their residua. Furthermore, an expansion of Łukasiewicz logic by an additional connective interpreted by a quasicopula is suggested. Strong finite standard completeness is shown. Finally, also the case of a further connective interpreted by the residuum corresponding to the quasicopula is considered.
