Generalized conjunction/disjunction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The generalized conjunction/disjunction function (GCD) is a continuous logic function of two or more variables that integrates conjunctive and disjunctive properties in a single function. It is used as a mathematical model of simultaneity and replaceability of inputs. Special cases of this function include the full (pure) conjunction, the partial conjunction, the arithmetic mean, the partial disjunction, and the full (pure) disjunction. GCD enables a continuous transition from the full conjunction to the full disjunction, using a parameter that specifies a desired level of conjunction (andness) or disjunction (orness). In this paper, we investigate and compare various versions of GCD and other mathematical models of simultaneity and replaceability that are applicable in the areas of system evaluation, and information retrieval. 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Quasi Conjunction, Quasi Disjunction, T-norms and T-conorms: Probabilistic Aspects
We make a probabilistic analysis related to some inference rules which play an important role in nonmonotonic reasoning. In a coherence-based setting, we study the extensions of a probability assessment defined on n conditional events to their quasi conjunction, and by exploiting duality, to their quasi disjunction. The lower and upper bounds coincide with some well known t-norms and t-conorms:...
متن کاملParametric classes of generalized conjunction and disjunction operations for fuzzy modeling
It is argued that inference procedures of fuzzy models do not always require commutativity and associativity of the operations used. This raises the possibility of considering nonassociative and noncommutative conjunction and disjunction operations. Such operations are investigated in this paper and different methods for their generation are proposed. A number of new types of conjunction operat...
متن کاملProperties and Modeling of Partial Conjunction/Disjunction
The partial conjunction/disjunction function (PCD) integrates conjunctive and disjunctive features in a single function. Special cases of this function include the pure conjunction, the pure disjunction, and the arithmetic mean. PCD enables a continuous transition from the pure conjunction to the pure disjunction, using a parameter that specifies a desired level of conjunction (andness) or disj...
متن کاملConjunction and Disjunction Based Fuzzy Interval Orders in Aggregation Process
This contribution deals with fuzzy interval orders which are defined by the use of generalized properties, the Ferrers property and total connectedness, of fuzzy relations. Definitions of the generalized properties involve binary operations including t-norms and t-conorms and, more generally, fuzzy conjunctions and disjunctions. In particular, conditions for n-argument functions to preserve fuz...
متن کاملA Unified Approach to Questions, Quantifiers and Coordination in Japanese
Universal/existential quantifiers can be seen as generalization of logical conjunction/disjunction. The universal (existential) quantification of an open proposition is the conjunction (disjunction) of all its possible instantiations. In other words, conjunction (disjunction) is a special kind of universal (existential) quantification where the domain of the variable is restricted to the set of...
