Abstract

In this comunication, some construction methods of fuzzy implication functions based on uninorms, nullnorms and fuzzy negations are presented. The main idea is to use these methods in order to obtain new implication functions from old ones in such a way that the obtained implication satisfies a desired property even if the old implication does not satisfy it. In this line, the paper focuses in the following three properties: the control of the decreasingness with respect to the first variable, the strong negation property and the property: \(I(x,N(x))=N(x)\). However, other properties could be also considered in the same way through the proposed methods.
