ملخص المقالة :
In the literature it is very common to see problems in which it is necessary to aggregate a set of data into a single one. An important tool able to deal with these issues is the aggregation functions, which we can highlight as the OWA functions. However, there are other functions that are also capable of performing these tasks, such as the preaggregation function and mixture functions. In this paper we investigate two special types of functions, the Generalized Mixture functions and Bounded Generalized Mixture functions, which generalize both OWA and Mixture functions. We also prove some properties, constructions and examples of these functions. Both the Generalized and Bounded Generalized Mixture functions are developed in such a way that the weight vectors are variables that depend on the input vector, which generalizes the aggregation functions: Minimum, Maximum, Arithmetic Mean and Median, and are extensively used in image processing. Finally, we propose a Generalized Mixture function, denoted by H, and we show that H satisfies a series of properties in order to apply this function in an illustrative example of application: The image reduction process.
