An Extension of Semiuninorms: Weak-Neutral Semiuninorms

By weakening the neutral element condition of semiuninorms, we introduce a new concept called weak-neutral semiuninorms (shortly, wn-semiuninorms). After analyzing their structure, several classes of wn-semiuninorms are presented and discussed. Particularly, based on a kind of monotone unary functions which are not necessarily continuous and strictly monotone, we introduce representable wn-semiuninorms and discuss some of their properties in detail. We show that there is no idempotent proper wn-semiuninorm. Each representable wn-semiuninorm is Archimidean but not strictly monotone, and its additive generator is unique up to a positive multiplicative constant under some conditions. In the discussion about the representable wn-semiuninorms, we also characterize the solutions to a class of Cauchy functional equations on a restricted domain.
