Abstract (EN)

Two emergent properties in aggregation theory are in-vestigated, namely horizontal maxitivity and comonotonic maxitivity (as well as their dual counterparts) which are commonly defined by means of certain functional equations. We present complete descrip-tions of the function classes axiomatized by each of these proper-ties, up to weak versions of monotonicity, in the cases of horizontal maxitivity and minitivity. While studying the classes axiomatized by combinations of these properties, we introduce the concept of quasi-polynomial function which appears as a natural extension of the well-established notion of polynomial function. We present further axiomatizations for this class both in terms of functional equations and natural relaxations of homogeneity and median decomposabil-ity. As noteworthy particular cases, we investigate those subclasses of quasi-term functions and quasi-weighted maximum and minimum functions, and present characterizations accordingly.
