On the Problem of Aggregation of Partial T-Indistinguishability Operators

In this paper we focus our attention on exploring the aggregation of partial T-indistinguishability operators (relations). Concretely we characterize, by means of (T-\(T_{\min }\))-tuples, those functions that allow to merge a collection of partial T-indistinguishability operators into a single one. Moreover, we show that monotony is a necessary condition to ensure that a function aggregates partial T-indistinguishability operators into a new one. We also provide that an inter-exchange composition function condition is a sufficient condition to guarantee that a function aggregates partial T-indistinguishability operators. Finally, examples of this type of functions are also given.
