Many works have explored their relation to metrics, since they can be interpreted as a kind of measure of similarity and this is, in fact, a dual notion to dissimilarity. Moreover, the problem of how to construct new indistinguishability fuzzy relations by means of aggregation has been explored in the literature. In this paper, we provide new characterizations of those functions that allow us to merge a collection of indistinguishability fuzzy relations into a new one in terms of triangular triplets and, in addition, we explore the relationship between such functions and those that aggregate extended pseudo-metrics, which are the natural distances associated to indistinguishability fuzzy relations. Our new results extend some already known characterizations which involve only bounded pseudo-metrics. In addition, we provide a completely new description of those indistinguishability fuzzy relations that separate points, and we show that both differ a lot.enghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/AggregationIndistinguishability fuzzy relationExtended pseudo-metricAdditive generatorContinuous Archimedean t-normresearch articleAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International912144110.3390/math91214412227-7390Mathematicsopen access2-s2.0-85109045681666234700001
