Parametric families of fuzzy consequence operators

Abstract

In a previous paper ([6]) we explored the notion of coherent fuzzy consequence operator. Since we did not know of any example in the literature of non-coherent fuzzy consequence operator, we also showed several families of such operators. It is well-known that the operator induced by a fuzzy preorder through Zadeh’s compositional rule is always a coherent fuzzy consequence operator. It is also known that the relation induced by a fuzzy consequence operator is a fuzzy preorder if such operator is coherent ([5]). The aim of this paper is to show a parametric family of non-coherent fuzzy consequence operators which induce a preorder and also a family of non-coherent fuzzy consequence operators which do not induce a preorder. These families of operators can be implemented through very simple algorithms.
