On the Non-Uniqueness of Representation of $(U,N)$-Implications
Fuzzy implication functions constitute fundamental operators in fuzzy logic systems, extending classical conditionals to manage uncertainty in logical inference. Among the extensive families of these operators, generalizations of the classical material implication have received considerable theoretical attention, particularly $(S,N)$-implications constructed from t-conorms and fuzzy negations, and their further generalizations to $(U,N)$-implications using disjunctive uninorms. Prior work has established characterization theorems for these families under the assumption that the fuzzy negation $N$ is continuous, ensuring uniqueness of representation. In this paper, we disprove this last fact for $(U,N)$-implications and we show that they do not necessarily possess a unique representation, even if the fuzzy negation is continuous. Further, we provide a comprehensive study of uniqueness conditions for both uninorms with continuous and non-continuous underlying functions. Our results offer important theoretical insights into the structural properties of these operators.

On the Solution Uniqueness of Data-Driven Modeling of Flexible Loads (with Supplementary Material)
This letter first explores the solution uniqueness of the data-driven modeling of price-responsive flexible loads (PFL). The PFL on the demand side is critical in modern power systems. An accurate PFL model is fundamenta…
A Characterization of the Non-Uniqueness of Nonnegative Matrix Factorizations
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a popular dimension reduction technique that produces interpretable decomposition of the data into parts. However, this decompostion is not generally identifiable (even up to per…
