When is the convolution a t-norm on normal, convex and upper semicontinuous fuzzy truth values?
Abstract
In Type-2 rule-based fuzzy systems (T2 RFSs), triangular norms on complete lattice or can be used to model the compositional rule of inference, where is the set of all convex normal fuzzy truth values, is the set of all convex normal and upper semicontinuous fuzzy truth values, and is the so-called convolution order. Hence, the choice of t-norms on or may influence the performance of T2 RFSs, and thus, it is significant to broad the set of t-norms among which domain experts can choose most suitable one. To construct t-norms on or , the mainstream method is based on convolution induced by two operators and on the unit interval . Recently, we have complete solve the question when convolution is a t-norm on . This paper aim to provide the necessary and sufficient conditions under which convolution is a t-norm on .
