Abstract

We show that the class of all aggregation functions on [0,1][0,1] can be generated as a composition of infinitary sup-operation \bigvee acting on sets with cardinality not exceeding c\mathfrak{c}, bb-medians Medb\mathsf{Med}_b, b[0,1[b\in[0,1[, and unary aggregation functions 1]0,1]1_{]0,1]} and 1[a,1]1_{[a,1]}, a]0,1]a\in ]0,1]. Moreover, we show that we cannot relax the cardinality of argument sets for suprema to be countable, thus showing a kind of minimality of the introduced generating set. As a by product, generating sets for fuzzy connectives, such as fuzzy unions, fuzzy intersections and fuzzy implications are obtained, too.
