Coimplications on Finite Scales

Co-implication functions are the dual connectives of fuzzy implications. In this paper co-implications defined on finite ordinal scales, called discrete co-implications, are introduced. In particular, strong co-implications derived from smooth t-norms and residual co-implications derived from smooth t-conorms are studied in detail. The structure of such co-implications is given and several properties are investigated.
