A triangular norm hierarchy

From MaRDI portal





The author studies two questions. First, he asks when two triangular norms are comparable as real functions. These results can now be found in the book: \textit{E. P. Klement}, \textit{R. Mesiar} and \textit{E. Pap}, Triangular norms, Kluwer, Dordrecht (2000; Zbl 0972.03002), Ex.~3.32 and Chapter~6. Some of them were already known at the time of submission of the paper (1997) [see \textit{M. J. Frank}, ``On the simultaneous associativity of \(F(x,y)\) and \(x+y-F(x,y)\), Aequationes Math. 19, 194-226 (1979; Zbl 0444.39003), and \textit{D. Butnariu} and \textit{E. P. Klement}, Triangular norm-based measures and games with fuzzy coalitions, Kluwer, Dordrecht (1993; Zbl 0804.90145), Prop.~1.12]. As a second task, the author compares the strength of semantics of fuzzy logics based on different triangular norms [in the sense of \textit{D. Butnariu}, \textit{E. P. Klement} and \textit{S. Zafrany}, ``On triangular norm-based propositional fuzzy logics, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 69, 241-255 (1995; Zbl 0844.03011)]. He proves that the finitary fuzzy logic based on Einstein triangular norm is weaker than the infinitary s-fuzzy logic based on product. This follows from \textit{D. Butnariu}, \textit{E. P. Klement} and \textit{M. Navara}, ``All strict triangular norms are `equally strong' , Proc. Conf. on Fuzzy Logic and Applications, Tel Aviv, Israel, 1997, 116-124 (1997), Cor.~2.8, based on \textit{M. Navara}, ``A characterization of triangular norm based tribes, Tatra Mt. Math. Publ. 3, 161-166 (1993; Zbl 0799.28013), although a detailed proof will appear only in a forthcomng paper [\textit{J. Hekrdla}, \textit{E. P. Klement} and \textit{M. Navara}, ``Two approaches to fuzzy propositional logics, Mult.-Valued Log., accepted]. What remains interesting is that for this particular case the author has found a much simpler proof than the general one. Some items are missing, e.g., the interpretation of implication. Citations are incomplete and most of them are wrong; they can be corrected using \textit{R. Lowen}'s book [Fuzzy set theory, Kluwer, Dordrecht (1996; Zbl 0854.04006)].
