Aggregation Operators: Applications to Human Trafficking and Slavery

Abstract

We introduce the idea of using aggregation operators to replace the concepts of minimum and maximum in the basic definitions and results involving fuzzy relations and fuzzy graphs. This development has begun with the replacement of minimum and maximum with [Formula: see text]-norms and [Formula: see text]-conorms, respectively. With this new theory, it will be possible to open the door to new theoretical results and at times more useful application methods. We apply our results in the areas of human trafficking and slavery.
