New construction of t-norms and t-conorms on bounded lattices

A brief review of the development of t-norms and t-conorms
Triangular norms (t-norms) with the neutral 1 and triangular conorms (t-conorms) with the neutral 0 on the unit interval were introduced by Menger [37] in 1942 and by Schweizer and Sklar [45] in 1961, respectively. As an extension of the logic connectives conjunction and disjunction in classical two-valued logic, respectively, t-norms and t-conorms play an important role in many fields, such as fuzzy set theory [51], fuzzy logic [2], fuzzy systems modeling [48], and probabilistic metric spaces
Preliminaries
In this section, we recall some basic concepts and notation for bounded lattices and some properties related to them, which will be used in the sequel.
A bounded lattice [21] is a lattice that has top element and bottom element . A bounded sublattice of L is a sublattice of L that has top element b and bottom element a. In the following, unless stated otherwise, we denote L as a bounded lattice.
Definition 2.1 (See Birkhoff [6] and Wang et al. [47].) Let . We use the notation
A new method to construct t-norms and t-conorms on bounded lattices
In this section, we introduce a new class of t-norms and t-conorms on an arbitrary bounded lattice L. The new construction method in this article to obtain t-norms and t-conorms is different from the proposals of Çaylı [8] and Ertuğrul et al. [19]. Apart from the different values for t-norms and t-conorms on the same domains, the greatest difference is that we give a new ordinal sum construction for t-norms and t-conorms on an arbitrary bounded lattice L, where , the summand t-norm
Modified construction of ordinal sums of t-norms and t-conorms on bounded lattices
Ertuğrul et al. [19] provided a modification of ordinal sums of t-norms and t-conorms on an arbitrary bounded lattice. Moreover, the construction method they presented can be generalized by induction to a modified ordinal sum construction for t-norms and t-conorms on an arbitrary bounded lattice. Çaylı [8] introduced a new class of t-norms and t-conorms on an arbitrary bounded lattice and also provided a method to study the construction of ordinal sums of t-norms and t-norms on an arbitrary
Characterizing ordinal sums of t-norms with one summand only
As we stated in Section 1.2, on the basis of the constraint that the bounded sublattice S has the same bottom and top elements as L, Saminger-Platz et al. [44] provided a necessary and sufficient condition such that the function given in Eq. (3) is a t-norm on L. In this section, on the basis of [44], we consider whether there exists a necessary and sufficient condition without satisfying the constraint that needs the bounded sublattice S has the same bottom and top elements as L such that
Concluding remarks
Both t-norms and t-conorms on bounded lattices have been extensively investigated similarly to research into t-norms and t-conorms on the unit interval. In particular, the construction of ordinal sums of t-norms and t-conorms related to algebraic structures on bounded lattices is still an important research area. In this article, we have further studied the construction of ordinal sums of t-norms and t-conorms on bounded lattices from a mathematical point of view. The main contributions are as

Corollary 3.8 is similar to [10, Proposition 5.1], but the condition in Proposition 5.1 is not sufficient from the following counterexample. Furthermore, we give the characterization of ordinal sum being a t-norm on bounded lattice when it is a horizontal sum of chains.
