On z-ordinal sums of t-(co)norms on bounded posets
摘要
This paper explores ordinal sums of a family of t-norms and t-conorms on bounded posets. Initially, we introduce the z-ordinal sum of t-norms on bounded posets, which is defined for a collection of t-norms indexed by a bounded meet semilattice. Subsequently, we define the h–z-ordinal sum of t-norms using interior operators, which extends the previously defined z-ordinal sum. Finally, we provide sufficient conditions under which a t-norm on a bounded meet semilattice can be expressed as an h–z-ordinal sum. For t-conorms, we present dual results. Our findings notably extend the ordinal sum introduced by Dvor̆ák and Holc̆apek (Inf Sci 515:116–131 , 2020).
