Abstract

T-operators were defined on [0, 1] by Mas et al. in 1999. In 2001, Calvo et al. introduced the notion of nullnorms, also on [0, 1]. Both of these operations were defined as generalizations of t-norms and t-conorms. As Mas et al. in 2002 pointed out, t-operators and nullnorms coincide on [0, 1]. Afterwards, only nullnorms were studied and later generalized as operations on bounded lattices. Our intention is to introduce also t-operators as operations on bounded lattices. We will show that, on bounded lattices, nullnorms and t-operators need not coincide. We will explore conditions under which one of these operations is necessarily the other one, and conditions under which they differ.
