Abstract

We analyze in this paper the impact of introducing fuzzy T-conorm operators in the area of belief merging. There are mainly two subclasses of merging operators: the utilitarian and the egalitarian ones. We prove that a T-conorm merging operator can be included in the subtype of egalitarian operators. We also study how the different T-conorm operators behave with respect to their logical properties and how this affects their rationality.
