Abstract

This article intends to characterize triangular norms on a finite lattice. We first give a method for generating a triangular norm on an atomistic lattice by the values of atoms. Then we prove that every triangular norm on a non-Boolean atomistic lattice is not left-continuous and $T_{M}$ is the uniquely left-continuous triangular norm on an atomistic Boolean lattice. Furthermore, we show that each atomistic Boolean lattice can be represented by a family of triangular norms on an atomistic lattice with the same number of atoms. Finally, we construct a triangular norm on a finite lattice by restricting a triangular norm on an extended atomistic lattice of the finite lattice to the finite lattice.
