Aggregation operators on type-2 fuzzy sets

Cubillo et al. in 2015 established the axioms that an operation must fulfill to be an aggregation operator on a bounded poset (partially ordered set), in particular on M (set of fuzzy membership degrees of T2FSs, which are the functions from [0, 1] to [0, 1]). Previously, Takac in 2014 had applied Zadeh's extension principle to obtain a set of operators on M which are, under some conditions, aggregation operators on L*, the set of strongly normal and convex functions of M. In this paper, we introduce a more general set of operators on M than were given by Takac, and we study, among other properties, the conditions required to satisfy the axioms of the aggregation operator on L (set of normal and convex functions on M), which includes the set L*.
