1-Lipschitz aggregation operators and quasi-copulas

Anna Kolesárová

Abstract:

In the paper, binary 1-Lipschitz aggregation operators and specially quasi-copulas are studied. The characterization of 1-Lipschitz aggregation operators as solutions to a functional equation similar to the Frank functional equation is recalled, and moreover, the importance of quasi-copulas and dual quasi-copulas for describing the structure of 1-Lipschitz aggregation operators with neutral element or annihilator is shown. Also a characterization of quasi-copulas as solutions to a certain functional equation is proved. Finally, the composition of 1-Lipschitz aggregation operators, and specially quasi-copulas, is studied.
