| contents | This article characterizes the associativity of two-place functions $T: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ defined by $T(x,y)=f^{(-1)}(F(f(x),f(y)))$ where $F:[0,1]^2\rightarrow[0,1]$ is a triangular norm (even a triangular subnorm), $f: [0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$ is a strictly increasing function and $f^{(-1)}:[0,1]\rightarrow[0,1]$ is the pseudo-inverse of $f$. We prove that the associativity of functions $T$ only depends on the range of $f$, which is used to give a sufficient and necessary condition for the function $T$ being associative when the triangular norm $F$ is an ordinal sum of triangular norms and an ordinal sum of triangular subnorms in the sense of A. H. Clifford, respectively. These results finally are applied for describing classes of triangular norms generated by strictly increasing functions. |
