Distributivity between extended nullnorms and uninorms on fuzzy truth values (Q2206443)

The paper deals with the distributive laws between extended nullnorms and uninorms on fuzzy truth values, that is, on mappings of \([0, 1]\) into itself. Nullnorms and uninorms are extended from operations from \([0, 1]^2\) to \([0, 1]\) to operations on fuzzy truth values by the Zadeh's extension principle. Distributive laws are considered under the condition that the nullnorm is conditionally distributive over the uninorm. A nullnorm \(F\) is conditionally distributive over a uninorm \(U\) if \(F(x, U(y, z))= U(F(x, y), F(x, z))\) for all \(x, y, z \in [0, 1]\) whenever \(U(y, z) < 1\). Finally, the left and right distributive laws between extended generalized nullnorms and uninorms are considered, where generalized nullnorms are aggregation operators with an absorbing element generalizing nullnorms; that is, they need be neither associative nor commutative.
