Abstract—This paper is based on the investigation of a new
property for Choquet integral: � -supermodularity. With this
definition we want to extend the property of supermodularity
for Choquet integral with respect to a supermodular fuzzy
measure, in particular by using Frank �-norms.
Keywords: Triangular norms, fuzzy measures, fuzzy sets,
Choquet integral, � -supermodularity.
I. I NTRODUCTION
In this article we introduce and study � -supermodularity
for Choquet integral. This notion is connected with �-norms,
that we recall in the first section. Preliminary classes of fuzzy
measures (such as subadditive, submodular, symmetric) and
fuzzy sets are respectively given in Section III ([8], [16], [20])
and in Section IV.
� -supermodularity for Choquet integral is defined in Section V
and with this concept we prove in Proposition 1 that Choquet
integral is � -supermodular with respect to the minimum �norm in the family of all measurable functions � : � →
[0, 1] on a finite set �. A special case of � -supermodularity
is considered in Corollary 1. In conclusion we provide some
examples.
II. T RIANGULAR NORMS
A triangular norm (briefly �-norm) � is defined to be a
two-place function
� : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1]
fulfilling the following properties:
1) � (1, �) = �, for each � ∈ [0, 1];
2) � (�, �1 ) ≤ � (�, �2 ), for all �, �1 , �2 ∈ [0, 1], if �1 ≤ �2 ;
3) � (�, �) = � (�, �), for all �, � ∈ [0, 1];
4) � (�, � (�, �)) = � (� (�, �), �), for all �, �, � ∈ [0, 1].
Note that a �-norm defines an abelian monoid on [0, 1] with
unit 1 and annihilator 0 and where the semigroup operation is
order-preserving and commutative.
Given a �-norm � , the two-place function
� : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1],
defined by
�(�, �) = 1 − � (1 − �, 1 − �)
978-1-4577-1974-5/11/$26.00 ©2011 IEEE
is called a �-conorm (or the dual of � ). Obviously � fulfills
monotonicity, commutativity, associativity and
�(�, 0) = �
��������
���������.
Here we deal with the Frank family of �-norms �� , � ∈ [0, ∞].
For each � ∈ [0, ∞], the Frank t-norms are defined by the
formulas
∙ the minimum t-norm, �� (�, �) := min{�, �},
∙ the product t-norm, �� (�, �) := � ⋅ �,
∙ the Łukasiewicz t-norm �� (�, �) := max{0, � + � − 1},
∙ if � ∈ (0, ∞) ∖ {1},
]
[
(�� − 1)(�� − 1)
.
�� (�, �) := log� 1 +
�−1
The basic t-conorms (dual to four basic t-norms) are:
∙ the maximum t-conorm, �� (�, �) := max{�, �},
∙ the probabilistic sum, �� (�, �) := � + � − � ⋅ �,
∙ the Łukasiewicz t-conorm �� (�, �) := min{1, � + �},
∙ if � ∈ (0, ∞) ∖ {1},
]
[
(�1−� − 1)(�1−� − 1)
�� (�, �) := 1 − log� 1 +
.
�−1
The family {�� ∣� ∈ [0, ∞]} appeared first in Frank’s [9]
investigation of the functional equation
� + � = � (�, �) + �(�, �),
∀�, � ∈ [0, 1],
(1)
where � is a triangular norm and � is an associative function
on the unit square. Note that the only strict solutions of (1) are
just �-norms �� for � ∈ [0, ∞] (where �0 = �� and �∞ = �� )
and the corresponding �� are just the dual �-conorms, i.e.,
�� (�, �) = 1−�� (1−�, 1−�). In particular Frank [9] showed
that the �-norms �� , 0 ≤ � ≤ ∞, form a single family in the
sense that �� , �� and �� are the limits of �� corresponding
to their subscripts.
III. F UZZY MEASURES
For applications, several distinguished classes of fuzzy
measures are important. We list some of them in the next
definitions for the sake of selfcontainedness, though these well
known properties can be found, e. g., in [8], [16], [20].
Definition 1: Let � = {1, 2, . . . , �}, � ∈ � be a fixed set
of criteria. A mapping � : 2� → [0, 1] is called a fuzzy
– 71 –
M. Kalina et al. • T-supermodularity of Choquet Integrals
measure whenever �(∅) = 0, �(�) = 1 and for all � ⊆ � ⊆
�, it holds �(�) ≤ �(�).
Distinguished classes of fuzzy measures are determined by
their respective properties.
Definition 2: A fuzzy measure � on � is called:
1) additive if
∀�, � ∈ 2� ,
�(� ∪ �) ≤ �(�) + �(�),
�∩� = ∅,
�(�∪�) ≥ �(�)+�(�),
4) submodular whenever
∀�, � ∈ 2� ,
Definition 5: Let � and � be fuzzy sets. The standard
intersection of � and �, � ∩ �, is defined by
�(� ∪ �) + �(� ∩ �) ≤ �(�) + �(�),
∀�, � ∈ 2 ,
�¯(�) := 1 − � (�),
�(� ∪ �) + �(� ∩ �) ≥ �(�) + �(�),
6) symmetric if for any subsets �, �, ∣�∣ = ∣�∣ implies
�(�) = �(�).
The conjugate or dual of a fuzzy measure � is a fuzzy measure
� defined by
�(�) := �(�) − �(�� ),
∀� ∈ �.
Similar to the way operations on ordinary sets are treated, we
can generalize the standard union and the standard intersection
for an arbitrary class of fuzzy sets: if {�� ∣� ∈ �} is a class of
fuzzy sets, where � is an arbitrary index set, then ∪�∈� �� is
the fuzzy set having membership function sup�∈� �� (�), � ∈
�, and ∩�∈� �� is the fuzzy set having membership function
inf �∈� �� (�), � ∈ �.
Definition 6: Let � be a fuzzy set. The standard complement of � , �¯ , is defined by the membership function
5) supermodular whenever
�
∀� ∈ �.
(� ∧ �)(�) = � (�) ∧ �(�),
3) superadditive (supermeasure) whenever
∀�, � ∈ 2� ,
(� ∨ �)(�) = � (�) ∨ �(�),
�(� ∪ �) = �(�) + �(�),
2) subadditive (submeasure) whenever
∀�, � ∈ 2� ,
Definition 4: Let � and � be fuzzy sets. The standard
union of � and �, � ∪ �, is defined by
∀� ∈ �.
Two or more of the three basic operations can also be
combined. For example, the difference � − � of fuzzy sets
¯ so that we have the
� and � can be expressed as � ∩ �,
following membership function
(� − �)(�) := max[0, � (�) − �(�)]
for all � ∈ �.
� ⊆ �.
For other kinds of measures, like belief, plausibility, possibility
and necessity, there is a deep description in [19]. Observe that
if a fuzzy measure is both submodular and supermodular, it
is modular and thus a probability measure on �. Evidently,
each supermodular fuzzy measure is also superadditive and
similarly, each submodular fuzzy measure is subadditive.
IV. F UZZY SETS
Following [21], [23], we recall the definition of a fuzzy set.
Let � be a nonempty set, a fuzzy subset � of � is defined
by a characteristic function � : � → [0, 1] which associates
with each � in � its “grade of membership”, � (�) in � . To
distinguish between the characteristic function of a nonfuzzy
set and the characteristic function of a fuzzy set, the latter will
be referred to as a membership function.
A standard fuzzy set is called normalized if
A. Operations on Fuzzy Sets
Operations on fuzzy sets are performed using triangular
norms. Being an associative operation, a t-norm T may be
extended to an arbitrary finite number of elements, then we
�
�� .
denote it by ��=1
The extension of the operations intersection, union and complementation in ordinary set theory to fuzzy sets was always
done pointwise: one considered two two-place functions � :
[0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1], � : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → [0, 1] and one-place
function � : [0, 1] → [0, 1] and extended them in the usual
way: if � , � are two membership functions of fuzzy sets �
and �, then
� (�, �)(�) =� (� (�), �(�)),
�(�, �)(�) =�(� (�), �(�)),
� (� )(�) =� (� (�)).
sup � (�) = 1
�∈�
Since any crisp set � can be defined by its characteristic
function �� : � → {0, 1}, it is a special standard fuzzy set.
Let ℱ(�) denote the family of all membership functions of
all fuzzy sets on a finite set � ∕= ∅. For �, � ∈ ℱ(�),
� ≤ � means that � (�) ≤ �(�) ∀� ∈ �. Then (� ∨ �)(�) =
max{� (�), �(�)} and (� ∧ �)(�) = min{� (�), �(�)}.
Definition 3: If � (�) ≤ �(�) for any � ∈ �, we say that
the fuzzy set � is included in the fuzzy set � and we write
� ⊂ �. If � ⊂ � and � ⊂ � , we say that � and � are
equal, which we write as � = �.

In his first paper Zadeh [22] suggested to use � (�, �) =
�� (�, �) = min(�, �) for intersection, �(�, �) = �� (�, �) =
max(�, �) for union and � (�) = 1 − � for complementation.
Alsina et al. [1] and Prade [17] suggested to use a �-norm for
intersection and its �-conorm for union of fuzzy sets.

Now we are focusing our attention to the integral with
respect to nonadditive fuzzy measures, known as the Choquet
integral, which is useful in many fields such as mathematical
economics and multicriteria decision making.

A. Choquet Integrals for Nonnegative Functions
Let ℱ(�) denote the family of all membership functions of
all fuzzy sets on a finite set � ∕= ∅, � a �-algebra of subsets
of �, i.e. � = 2� and � : � → [0, 1] a monotone measure,
such that (�, �, �) is a monotone measure space.
Definition 7: The Choquet integral of a nonnegative measurable function � with respect to a∫ monotone measure � on
measurable set �, denoted by (�) � � ��, is defined by the
formula
∫
∫ 1
(�)
� �� = (�)
�(�� ∩ �) ��,
�
0
where
∫ �� = {�∣� (�) ≥ �} for � ∈ ∫[0, 1]. When � = �,
(�) � � �� is usually written as (�) � ��.
Since � : � → [0, 1] in Definition 7, where � is an arbitrary
universal set, is measurable, we know that �� = {�∣� (�) ≥
�} ∈ � for � ∈ [0, 1] and, therefore, �� ∩ � ∈ �. So,
�(�� ∩ �) is well defined for all � ∈ [0, 1]. Furthermore,
�� is a class of sets that are nonincreasing with respect to
� and so are sets in �� ∩ �. Since monotone measure �
is a nondecreasing set function, we know that �(�� ∩ �)
is a nondecreasing function of � and, therefore, the above
Riemann integral makes sense. Thus, the Choquet integral of
a nonnegative measurable function with respect to a monotone
measure on a measurable set is well defined.
B. � -supermodularity for Choquet integrals
Now we define � -supermodularity for Choquet integrals.
Definition 8: A Choquet integral Ch� (� ) : ℱ(�) → [0, 1]
defined for all � ∈ ℱ(�) by
∫
Ch� (� ) = (�) � ��,
is � -supermodular if ∀�, � ∈ ℱ(�) and Frank �-norms it
satisfies the following relation:
Ch� (� (�, �)) + Ch� (�(�, �)) ≥ Ch� (� ) + Ch� (�).
(5)
If only the equality holds, we say that Choquet integral is
� -modular.
When we use the minimum �-norm and its dual �-conorm,
we have ∧-supermodular Choquet integral, i. e. standard
supermodularity. So, in this case we say simply that Choquet integral is supermodular and for supermodular Choquet
integrals the following proposition holds (see [14]).
Proposition 1: Consider � = {�1 , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , �� }. Let � be
a fuzzy measure which is supermodular on 2� . Then the
mapping Ch� (� ) : ℱ(�) → [0, 1] defined for all � ∈ ℱ(�)
by
∫
Ch� (� ) = (�) � ��.
is supermodular on ℱ(�) and so the following relation holds:
Ch� (� ∨ �) + Ch� (� ∧ �) ≥ Ch� (� ) + Ch� (�).
(6)
Following [8] and [16], we see in the following proposition
that a Choquet integral is also superadditive if and only if the
fuzzy measure � is supermodular.
Proposition 2: Let Ch� : ℱ(�) → [0, 1] be a Choquet
integral based on a fuzzy measure � on � = {1, . . . , �}.
Then we have that Ch� is superadditive if and only if the
fuzzy measure � is supermodular:
Ch� (� + �) ≥ Ch� (� ) + Ch� (�),
for all � and � ∈ ℱ(�).
Consider � -supermodularity of Choquet integral with respect
to Frank �-norms, then the following proposition holds:
Corollary 1: Consider � = {�1 , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , �� } and two membership functions � and �, such that � ∧ � = 0. Let �
be a supermodular fuzzy measure on 2� . Then a mapping
Ch� : ℱ(�) → [0, 1] defined for all � ∈ ℱ(�) by
∫
Ch� (� ) = (�) � ��,
is � -supermodular on ℱ(�), where � is a Frank �-norm. So
the following relation holds:
Ch� (� (�, �)) + Ch� (�(�, �)) ≥ Ch� (� ) + Ch� (�).
(7)
Example 1: Consider � = {�1 , �2 } and a supermodular
measure �, such that �(�1 ) = �1 with 0 < �1 < 1 and
�(�2 ) = 0.
In the following table we consider the membership functions
� and �, such that � ∧ � = 0 and � = �� .
�
�
�1
0
0.8
�2
0.7
0
So we have
∫
∫1
1) (C) � �� = 0 �({� ∈ � : � (�) ≥ �})�� = 0;
∫
∫1
2) (C) ��� = 0 �({� ∈ � : �(�) ≥ �})�� =
∫ 0.8
�({�1 })�� = 0.8�1 .
0
Then we consider the functions �� (�, �) and �� (�, �) and
their respective Choquet integrals:
�� (�, �)
�� (�, �)
�1
0
0.8
�2
0
0.7
∫
1) (C) ∫ �� (�, �)�� = 0;
2) (C) �� (�, �)�� =
∫1
�({� ∈ � : (� + � − � ⋅ �)(�) ≥ �})�� =
∫ 0.8
∫00.7
�({�})�� + 0.7 �({�1 })�� = 0.7 + 0.1�1
0
and we see 0.7 + 0.1�1 > 0.8�1 . So Choquet integral is
� -supermodular on ℱ(�) with respect to the supermodular
fuzzy measure � and � = �� .
Consider also the following measure, which is supermodular
(see [3] and [14]).
Example 2: Let (2� , ⊆,′ , ∅, �) be the complemented
bounded lattice with intersection and union as the lattice

operations, where � = {�1 , �2 , �3 }. Let � : 2� → [0, 1]
be given for all � ∈ 2� by
{ 1
if �1 ∈ �,
4−∣�∣
�(�) =

otherwise.
Now we consider the following membership functions � and
�, such that � ∧ � = 0. So we have
�

∫
∫1
2) (C) ��� = 0 �({� ∈ � : �(�) ≥ �})�� =
∫ 0.3
�({�2 })�� = 0.
0
Then we consider the functions �� (�, �) and �� (�, �) and
their respective Choquet integrals:
1) (C)
∫ 0.1
�� (�, �)
�� (�, �)

∫ 0.3
∫ 0.5
�({�})��+ 0.1 �({�2 , �3 })��+ 0.3 �({�3 })�� =

0.1.
Finally we can see 0.1 > 0.05 and so Choquet integral is
� -supermodular on ℱ(�).
