## Strict Archimedean $$t$$-norms and $$t$$-conorms as universal approximators.(English)Zbl 0955.68108

Summary: In knowledge representation, when we have to use logical connectives, various continuous $$t$$-norms and $$t$$-conorms are used. In this paper, we show that every continuous $$t$$-norm and $$t$$-conorm can be approximated, to an arbitrary degree of accuracy, by a strict Archimedean $$t$$-norm ($$t$$-conorm).
