Abstract

This paper is related, on the one hand, to the framework of multi-adjoint concept lattices with heterogeneous conjunctors and, on the other hand, to the use of intensifying hedges as truth-stressers. Specifically, we continue on the line of recent works by Belohlavek and Vychodil, which use intensifying hedges as a tool to reduce the size of a concept lattice. In this paper we use hedges as a reduction tool in the general framework of multi-adjoint concept lattices with heterogeneous conjunctors.
