Abstract

In this work, aggregation operators are to be understood in their most general sense, i.e. as families of operators, one for each arity. We characterize the smallest and greatest aggregation operators with a predefined behaviour in case all arguments are taken from the same interval (belonging to a system of pairwise disjoint open intervals). Similarly, we characterize the smallest and greatest idempotent aggregation operators with a predefined idempotent behaviour. Relationships with classical ordinal sum constructions are investigated.
