In this paper we continue these investigations for contrapositive implications, i.e. functions which satisfy the functional equation I(x, y) = I(N(y), N(x)), with a strong negation N : [0, 1] → [0, 1]. We show also the bounds for two classes of fuzzy implications which are connected with our investigations.

Jayaram and Rao in 2004 solved this equation for R-implications generated from nilpotent t-norms and for continuous t-conorms. In 2009, Baczyński and Jayaram extended these results to the case of R-implications generated from strict t-norms and continuous Archimedean t-conorms. It this article we consider the above distributivity law in the case when I is an R-implication generated from strict t-norm and S is just a t-conorm or even more general operator. We find that there are new solutions that are t-conorms, but not continuous and Archimedean ones. We show that some previous results presented by Baczyński and Jayaram can be obtained as corollaries of our new results.

In [2] we considered a generalized version of this equation in the case when both a and b are finite, namely the equation f(m1(x + y)) = m2(f(x) + f(y)), where m1, m2 are functions defined on some finite intervals of ℝ satisfying additional assumptions. In this article we enhance the results from [2], [3] and consider generalized versions of the equation (1) in the cases when a or b is infinite. We show that some well known solutions of several functional equations, that we presented earlier in [1], [4], can be obtained as corollaries of these new facts.

Our main goal is to show the general method of solving the following distributivity equation \(\mathcal{I}(x,\mathcal{U}_1(y,z)) = \mathcal{U}_2(\mathcal{I}(x,y),\mathcal{I}(x,z))\), when \(\mathcal{U}_1\), \(\mathcal{U}_2\) are decomposable uninorms (in interval-valued fuzzy sets theory) generated from two conjunctive representable uninorms. As a byproduct result we show all solutions of some functional equation related to this case.

Making use of the solution of the autodistributivity functional equations, we give a characterisation of all the four types of distributivity of fuzzy implication. The necessary and sufficient condition for all the four distributive equation is that the operator belongs to the pliant operator class. This theorem leads to a new implication called preference implication. It is well known that there is no implication in (continuous-valued) fuzzy logic that satisfies all the properties that are valid in (classical) twovalued logic. We show that preference implication fulfills: (i) the law of contraposition, (ii) the T-conditionality, (iii) the ordering property, (iv) the exchange principle, (v) the law of importation, (vi) the identity principle and (vii) the general hypothetical reasoning. Preference implication has a ν parameter i.e., the fixed point of the negation. This ν value serves as a threshold and with this value we can go back by projection to the two-valued logic case. At the end of the article we indicate that the preference implication is closely related to the preference relation used in multicriteria decision making. We point that if the preference implication is multiplicative transitive and reciprocal, then the pliant system is reduced to some particular generator function of Dombi.

We also present different construction methods for such functions. We show that the advantage of our definitions and constructions lays on that we can adapt to the interval-valued case any inequality in the fuzzy setting, as the one of the generalized modus ponens. We also introduce a strong equality measure between interval-valued fuzzy sets, in which we take the width of the considered intervals into account, and, finally, we discuss a construction method for this measure using implication functions with respect to total orders.

First, we describe the lattice of fuzzy implications and its sublattices. Next, we examine properties of contrapositive and selfconjugate fuzzy implications. Finite sublattices are depicted by Hasse diagrams.

They are based on conditional copulas and make a bridge between probability theory and fuzzy logic. In this paper we generalize these two classes and propose a new kind of construction methods for fuzzy implications which are based on an a priori given fuzzy implication I and a semicopula B.

Our contribution is inspired by the article [Fuzzy Sets Syst 323:117–137 (2017)], where the author considered (GHS) when T is the minimum t-norm. We show several general results and then we focus on R-implications. We characterize all t-norms which satisfy (GHS) with arbitrarily fixed R-implication generated from a left-continuous t-norm.

We have fully character- ized the class of continuous R-implications obtained from any arbi- trary t-norm. Using this result, we also determine the exact inter- section between the continuous subsets of R-implications and (S,N)- implications.

In fact, this chapter also contains the answer for one of the open problems, which is hitherto unpublished. The recently solved problems are so chosen to reflect the importance of the problem or the significance of the solution. Finally, some other problems that still remain unsolved are stated for quick reference.

Although many classical logical connectives have been already generalized, the Sheffer stroke operation has received scant attention. This operator can be used by itself, without any other logical operator, to define a logical formal system in classical logic. Therefore, the goal of this article is to present some initial ideas on the fuzzy Sheffer stroke operation in fuzzy logic. A definition of this operation in the fuzzy logic framework is proposed. Then, a characterization theorem in terms of a fuzzy conjunction and a fuzzy negation is presented. Finally, we show when we can obtain other fuzzy connectives from fuzzy Sheffer stroke operation.

In this work we continue these investigations, but with the assumption that T 1 is generated from nilpotent t-norms, while T 2 is generated from strict t-norms. As a byproduct result we show all solutions for the following functional equation f (min(u 1 +v 1 , a), min(u 2 +v 2 , a)) = f (u 1 , u 2) + f (v 1 , v 2) related to this case.

In recent years, investigations has been deepened,which resulted in publishing some surveys [6] and two research monographs [1, 3] entirely devoted to this class of fuzzy connectives.

In details, by means of the section of I, we give out the sufficient and necessary conditions of solutions for the distributive equation of implication I(x, T 1 (y, z)) = T 2 (I(x, y), I(x, z)), when T 1 is a continuous but not Archimedean triangular norm, T 2 is a continuous Archimedean triangular norm and I is an unknown function. Our methods of proof can be applied to the three other functional equations related closely to the distributive equation of implication.
