ABSTRACT In Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), L-bonds represent relationships between L-formal contexts. Choosing the appropriate bond between L-fuzzy formal contexts is an important challenge for its application in recommendation tasks. Recent work introduced two constructions of bonds, given by direct products of two L-fuzzy formal contexts, and showed their usefulness in a particular application. In this paper, we present further theoretical and experimental results on these constructions; in particular, we provide extended interpretations of both rigorous and benevolent concept-forming operators, introduce new theoretical properties of the proposed bonds to connect two concept lattices given external information, and finally present the experimental study of the upper bounds.

ABSTRACT This paper contributes to the ongoing investigation of aggregating algebraic structures, with a particular focus on the aggregation of fuzzy vector spaces. The article is structured into three distinct parts, each addressing a specific aspect of the aggregation process. The first part of the paper explores the self-aggregation of fuzzy vector subspaces. It delves into the intricacies of combining and consolidating fuzzy vector subspaces to obtain a coherent and comprehensive outcome. The second part of the paper centers around the aggregation of similar fuzzy vector subspaces, specifically those belonging to the same equivalence class. This section scrutinizes the challenges and considerations involved in aggregating fuzzy vector subspaces with shared characteristics. The third part of the paper takes a broad perspective, providing an analysis of the aggregation problem of fuzzy vector subspaces from a general standpoint. It examines the fundamental issues, principles, and implications associated with aggregating fuzzy vector subspaces in a comprehensive manner. By elucidating these three key aspects, this paper contributes to the advancement of knowledge in the field of aggregation of algebraic structures, shedding light on the specific domain of fuzzy vector spaces.
