Abstract

Although the concept of reverse is given in (Publ. Math. Debrecen 12 (1973) 21-39) not only for a t-norm but also for any associative operator, the definition does not work in so general a case. In this paper, the concept of reverse is extended in an appropriate way to some kinds of associative operators like t-conorms, uninorms and t-operators. All continuous and reversible t-conorms are characterized and, after some results, an analogous characterization is also given for all semi-continuous reversible uninorms and all continuous reversible t-operators. In the last case, reversibility becomes a kind of transformation that converts a uninorm into a t-operator and viceversa. Finally, related to reversibility, uninorms and t-operators of moderate growth are studied.
