Strengthened ordered directionally monotone functions. Links between the different notions of monotonicity

Abstract

In this work, we propose a new notion of monotonicity: strengthened ordered directional monotonicity. This generalization of monotonicity is based on directional monotonicity and ordered directional monotonicity, two recent weaker forms of monotonicity. We discuss the relation between those different notions of monotonicity from a theoretical point of view. Additionally, along with the introduction of two families of functions and a study of their connection to the considered monotonicity notions, we define an operation between functions that generalizes the Choquet integral and the Łukasiewicz implication.
