On weak monotonicity of some mixture functions

Monotonicity with respect to all arguments is fundamental to the definition of aggregation functions. Here we study means that are not necessarily monotone. Weak monotonicity was recently proposed as a relaxation of the monotonicity condition for averaging functions. We provide results for the weak monotonicity of some important
classes of mixture functions. With these results we are able to extend and improve the understanding of this very important class of functions.
