Abstract
In this paper we investigate bivariate copulas with a given opposite diagonal section. We determine the exact lower bound for all such copulas and derive an explicit formula for the maximal asymmetry for copulas with a given opposite diagonal section. As a special case, we consider the situation when the opposite diagonal section is symmetric and unimodal, which is true in many applications. To obtain our results, we also calculate the maximal asymmetry of all distributions with fixed marginals, which is an interesting result by itself.
期刊介绍:
Since its launching in 1978, the journal Fuzzy Sets and Systems has been devoted to the international advancement of the theory and application of fuzzy sets and systems. The theory of fuzzy sets now encompasses a well organized corpus of basic notions including (and not restricted to) aggregation operations, a generalized theory of relations, specific measures of information content, a calculus of fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy sets are also the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling: fuzzy rule-based systems. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies.
In mathematics fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory, topology, algebra, analysis. Fuzzy sets are also part of a recent trend in the study of generalized measures and integrals, and are combined with statistical methods. Furthermore, fuzzy sets have strong logical underpinnings in the tradition of many-valued logics.
