Continuous triangular subnorms

Triangular subnorms are associative commutative non-decreasing operations on the unit interval, upper bounded by the minimum. Continuous triangular subnorms are shown to be ordinal sum of Archimedean continuous t-subnorms with at most one proper t-subnorm summand. Special attention is paid to generate continuous t-subnorms. An application of continuous t-subnorms to the construction of left-continuous t-norms is shown. Several illustrative examples are included. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
