Abstract
An aggregation process occurs in many situations like in decision making or in statistical and economic measurement by aggregating expert’s opinions or by synthesizing judgements. So the typical situation is as follows:
Having n numerical values x 1,..., x n lying in an interval I of real numbers, the aggregation operator M defined on I n aggregates these numbers to a value of ℝ in an appropriate way so that the properties of M represent a model of the concrete situation.
