Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a new framework for concept analysis, namely multi-conjunctor concept lattices. The motivation is to develop a more flexible and general platform of fuzzy concept analysis through an assignment of variable conjunctors into the framework of generalized concept lattices introduced by Krajči. We compare multi-conjunctor concept lattices with several other approaches of fuzzy concept lattices. Finally, we obtain the conditions under which the multi-conjunctor concept lattice can represent a complete lattice.
