Abstract

A \(\sup -T\) composition (where T is a triangular norm) of two fuzzy implications can be again a fuzzy implication. Motivated by this fact, in this contribution, we consider the Bandler-Kohout subproduct (BKS), which is a composition of fuzzy relations based on the infimum. We verify when such a composition of fuzzy connectives can provide a fuzzy implication and we investigate its properties. Further, we consider BKS as a method of constructing a new fuzzy implication from given t-norms or t-conorms. Moreover, we study essential properties of possibly built implications.
