ON A NEW CLASS OF IMPLICATIONS: (g,min)-IMPLICATIONS AND SEVERAL CLASSICAL TAUTOLOGIES

Abstract

A new class of fuzzy implications, called (g, min )-implications, is introduced by means of the additive generators of continuous Archimedean t-conorms, called g-generators. Basic properties of these implications are discussed. It is shown that the (g, min )-implications are really a new class different from the known ( S , N )-, R -, QL - and Yager's f- and g-implications. Generalizations of three classical logic tautologies with implications, viz. law of importation, contraction law and distributivity over triangular norms ( t -norms) and triangular conorms ( t -conorms) are investigated. A series of necessary and sufficient conditions are proposed, under which the corresponding functional equations are satisfied.
