Two construction methods for aggregation functions based on a restricted a priori known decomposition set and decomposition weighing function are introduced and studied. The outgoing aggregation functions are either superadditive or subadditive. Several examples, including illustrative figures, show the potential of the introduced construction methods. Our approach generalizes several known constructions and optimization methods, including decomposition and superdecomposition integrals. We present also an economic applications of the introduced concepts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose the concepts of superadditive and of subadditive transformations of aggregation functions acting on non-negative reals, in particular of integrals with respect to monotone measures. We discuss special properties of the proposed transforms and links between some distinguished integrals. Superadditive transformation of the Choquet integral, as well as of the Shilkret integral, is shown to coincide with the corresponding concave integral recently introduced by Lehrer. Similarly the transformation of the Sugeno integral is studied. Moreover, subadditive transformation of distinguished integrals is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
