In this paper we provide a simple characterization of the dominance in two classes of continuous triangular norms. In particular, we solve the dominance of (i) ordinal sum t-norms that use the Łukasiewicz t-norm as the only summand operation and (ii) ordinal sum t-norms that use the product t-norm as the only summand operation. In both cases, the dominance relation is characterized by a simple ...

Ordinal sums of t-norms on bounded lattices are discussed. It is shown that this construction leads always to a t-norm in the case of horizontal sums of chains. Moreover, we obtain a t-norm also if the underlying lattice is an ordinal sum (in the sense of Birkhoff) of the carriers of the summands.

Series-parallel orders are deened as the least class of partial orders containing the one-element order and closed by ordinal sum and disjoint union. From this inductive deenition, it is almost immediate that any series-parallel order may be represented by an algebraic expression, which is unique up to the associativity of ordinal sum and to the associa-tivivity and commutativity of disjoint un...

Let there be given n ordinals cti, alt • • • , an. It is well known that every ordinal can be written uniquely as the sum of indecomposable ordinals. (An ordinal is said to be indecomposable if it is not the sum of two smaller ordinals.) Denote by (ct...

Let there be given n ordinals al, a2, • • • , an . It is well known that every ordinal can be written uniquely as the sum of indecomposable ordinals. (An ordinal is said to be indecomposable if it is not the sum of two smaller ordinals .) Denote by ¢(a) the largest of these indecomposable ordinals belonging to a . (4(a) may have a coefficient c in the decomposition of a.) Put y=minis . 0(ai), a...

We consider Borel sets of finite rank A C A'" where cardinality of A is less than some uncountable regular cardinal K5. We obtain a "normal form" of A, by finding a Borel set Q, such that A and Q continuously reduce to each other. In more technical terms: we define simple Borel operations which are homomorphic to ordinal sum. to multiplication by a countable ordinal, and to ordinal exponentiati...

The paper deals with binary operations in the unit interval. We investigate connections between families of triangular norms, triangular conorms, uninorms and some decreasing functions. It is well known, that every uninorm is build by using some triangular norm and some triangular conorm. If we assume, that uninorm fulfils additional assumptions, then this triangular norm and this triangular co...

Using the concept of codes on ordered sets introduced by Brualdi, Graves and Lawrence, we consider perfect codes on the ordinal sum of two ordered sets, the standard ordered sets and the disjoint sum of two chains. In the classical coding theory all perfect codes are completely described in terms of parameters (cf. [2, 3]). They are mathematically interesting structures. Brualdi et al. [1] rece...

In complex survey sampling, a fraction of a finite population is sampled. Often, the survey is conducted so that each subject in the population has a different probability of being selected into the sample. Further, many complex surveys involve stratification and clustering. For generalizability of the sample to the finite population, these features of the design are usually incorporated in the...
