“…This enables us to obtain more sufficient output from the one-to-one and one-to-more pattern subsequent clustering of the basic classifier. On the other hand, overlap and grouping functions are also developing rapidly in theory and many profound results have been obtained, such as the construction of the corresponding fuzzy implications [10,13,16,17,40], the properties of migrativity, homogeneity, idempotency and limiting [4,7,14,50,51], the modularity equation between overlap (grouping) functions and other aggregation functions [42,48,49], the additive and multiplicative generator pairs [15,32], the n-dimensional extension concepts of overlap functions [22] and general overlap functions [12], the notions of interval overlap [36] and grouping functions, and the notion of interval-valued ordered weight averaging (OWA) operators with interval weights derived from interval-valued overlap functions [5].…”
