    On fuzzy implications derived from general overlap functions and their relation to other classes
    (MDPI, 2023) Pinheiro, Jocivania; Santos, Helida; Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Bedregal, Benjamin; Santiago, Regivan; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    There are distinct techniques to generate fuzzy implication functions. Despite most of them using the combination of associative aggregators and fuzzy negations, other connectives such as (general) overlap/grouping functions may be a better strategy. Since these possibly non-associative operators have been successfully used in many applications, such as decision making, classification and image processing, the idea of this work is to continue previous studies related to fuzzy implication functions derived from general overlap functions. In order to obtain a more general and flexible context, we extend the class of implications derived by fuzzy negations and t-norms, replacing the latter by general overlap functions, obtaining the so-called (GO, N)-implication functions. We also investigate their properties, the aggregation of (GO, N)-implication functions, their characterization and the intersections with other classes of fuzzy implication functions.

    Generalization of QL-operators based on general overlap and general grouping functions

    Firstly, this work discusses the main conditions guarantying that general overlap (grouping) functions can be obtained from n-dimensional overlap (grouping) functions. Focusing on QL-implications, which are usually generated by strong negations together with t-norms and t-conorms, we consider a non-restrictive construction, by relaxing not only the associativity and the corresponding neutral elements (NE) but also the reverse construction of other properties. Thus, the main properties of the QL-implication class are studied, considering a tuple (G,N,O) generated from grouping and overlap functions together with the greatest fuzzy negation. In addition, in order to provide more flexibility, we define a subclass of QL-implications generated from general overlap and general grouping functions. Some examples are introduced, illustrating the constructive methods to generate such operators.

    Constructing interval-valued fuzzy material implication functions derived from general interval-valued grouping functions
    (IEEE, 2022) Pereira Dimuro, Graçaliz; Santos, Helida; Da Cruz Asmus, Tiago; Wieczynski, Jonata; Pinheiro, Jocivania; Bedregal, Benjamin; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    Grouping functions and their dual counterpart, overlap functions, have drawn the attention of many authors, mainly because they constitute a richer class of operators compared to other types of aggregation functions. Grouping functions are a useful theoretical tool to be applied in various problems, like decision making based on fuzzy preference relations. In pairwise comparisons, for instance, those functions allow one to convey the measure of the amount of evidence in favor of either of two given alternatives. Recently, some generalizations of grouping functions were proposed, such as (i) the n-dimensional grouping functions and the more flexible general grouping functions, which allowed their application in n-dimensional problems, and (ii) n-dimensional and general interval-valued grouping functions, in order to handle uncertainty on the definition of the membership functions in real-life problems. Taking into account the importance of interval-valued fuzzy implication functions in several application problems under uncertainty, such as fuzzy inference mechanisms, this paper aims at introducing a new class of interval-valued fuzzy material implication functions. We study their properties, characterizations, construction methods and provide examples.
