From discrete Sugeno integrals to generalized lattice polynomial functions: axiomatizations and representations (invited lecture)

Two emergent properties in aggregation theory are investigated, namely horizontal maxitivity and comonotonic maxitivity (as well as their dual counterparts) which are commonly defined by means of certain functional equations. We present complete descriptions of the function
classes axiomatized by each of these properties, up to weak versions of monotonicity, in the cases of horizontal maxitivity and minitivity. While studying the classes axiomatized by combinations of these properties, we introduce the concept of quasi-polynomial function which appears as a natural extension of the well-established notion of polynomial function. We present further axiomatizations for this class both in terms of functional equations and natural relaxations of homogeneity and median decomposability.
