Weighted lattice polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We define the concept of weighted lattice polynomial functions as lattice polynomial functions constructed from both variables and parameters. We provide equivalent forms of these functions in an arbitrary bounded distributive lattice. We also show that these functions include the class of discrete Sugeno integrals and that they are characterized by a median based decomposition formula.


By allowing some variables to be fixed as parameters, the author generalizes lattice polynomial functions to so-called weighted lattice polynomial functions. Equivalent disjunctive or conjunctive normal forms are given in bounded distributive lattices (with chains as a special case). It is shown that these functions include the class of discrete Sugeno integrals, extensively used in aggregation function theory and in fuzzy set theory. Finally, a median-based system of functional equations that completely characterizes the weighted lattice polynomial functions is given.
