On the orders of OWA operators.

In this paper, we propose a partial ordering ⪯ on the set of ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators. Based on this relation ⪯, we introduce the negation, conjunction and disjunction operations, and establish a bounded De Morgan lattice equipped with an involutive negation for OWA operators. Finally, we develop a similarity measure between OWA operators based on the ordering ⪯. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
