In this paper we propose a new generalization for the notion of homogeneous functions. We show some properties and how it appears in some scenarios. Finally we show how this generalization can be used in order to provide ...

Throughout this paper, our main idea is to analyze from a theoretical and normative point of view different methods to aggregate individual rankings. To do so, first we introduce the concept of a general mean on an abstract ...

A key component of fuzzy rule-based classification systems (FRBCS) is the fuzzy reasoning method (FRM) since it infers the class predicted for new examples. A crucial stage in any FRM is the way in which the information ...

Overlap functions are a type of aggregation functions that are not required to be associative, generally used to indicate the overlapping degree between two values. They have been successfully used as a conjunction operator ...

In this paper, we make some considerations about admissible orders on the set of closed subintervals of the unit interval I[0,1], i.e. linear orders that refine the product order on intervals. We propose a new way to ...

Nullnorms are aggregation functions which generalize t-norms and t-conorms. For each nullnorm there exists an annihilator element such that, below it, the function behaves like a t-conorm, and, above it, like a t-norm. ...

Overlap and grouping functions are important aggregation operators, especially in information fusion, classification and decision-making problems. However, when we do more in-depth application research (for example, ...
