Weakly Monotone Averaging Functions

Abstract: Monotonicity with respect to all arguments is fundamental to the definition of aggregation functions. It is also a limiting property that results in many important non-monotonic averaging functions being excluded from the theoretical framework. This work proposes a definition for weakly monotonic averaging functions, studies some properties of this class of functions and proves that several families of important non-monotonic means are actually weakly monotonic averaging functions. Specifically we provide suff… Show more

“…In [32] the authors introduced weakly monotone averaging functions. They were motivated by the following observations: first, that many averages that appear in the literature are in fact not monotone -the mode, Gini means, Bajraktarevic means [2,3,11] and mixture operators [19,24] are particularly well known cases; and, second, that some applications in fact require non-monotone averaging for good performance.…”
