Additively Generated (a,b)-Implication Functions

Some problems involving classification through neural networks are known to use inputs out of the scope of the unit interval. Therefore, defining operations on arbitrary closed real intervals may be an interesting strategy to tackle this issue and enhance those application environments. In this paper we follow the ideas already discussed in the literature regarding (a,b)-fusion functions, and (a,b)-negations, to provide a new way to construct implication functions. The main idea is to construct an operator using additively generated functions that preserve the properties required by implication functions.
