Triangular norms. Position paper III: Continuous t-norms (Q1885737)

This third part of a series of position papers on triangular norms (i.e., associative, commutative binary operations in the unit interval which are non-decreasing and have 0 as a null element and 1 as a unit) receives well-known results on the representation of continuous Archimedean t-norms by means of additive generators, and the representation of continuous t-norms by means of ordinal sums. Some consequences of these representation theorems are given (order and convergence of continuous t-norms, determination by means of diagonals sections, etc.). For Part I see ibid. 143, 5--26 (2004; Zbl 1038.03027); Part II is reviewed above (Zbl 1059.03012).
