Abstract
In this paper, we investigate interval-valued fuzzy negations induced by interval-valued \(t\)-norms, \(t\)-conorms or implications. Some properties of interval-valued fuzzy negations induced by interval-valued sup-morphism \(t\)-norms, inf-morphism \(t\)-conorms or \(R\)-implications are firstly obtained. We also show interval-valued automorphisms acting on the interval-valued fuzzy negations induced by interval-valued \(t\)-norms, \(t\)-conorms or implications. Finally, the relations among the interval-valued fuzzy negations induced by interval-valued \(t\)-norms, \(t\)-conorms or implications are explored.
