The methods of constructing uninorms on more general algebraic structures (such as bounded posets, lattices, etc.) are an important subject of study, including an extensive work concerning these operations on the unit real interval [0,\u00a01]. The construction of uninorms on bounded lattices has been extensively studied using various aggregation functions, such as t-norms, t-conorms, and t-subnorms. In this paper, we present construction methods for uninorms, based on the elements of a lattice, without using the existence of the mentioned operators. We determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for the introduced construction methods to result in the uninorms. Then, we show the differences between our methods and several methods known from the literature, including some illustrative examples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms14080552","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,22]],"date-time":"2025-07-22T15:00:42Z","timestamp":1753196442000},"page":"552","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Element-Based Construction Methods for Uninorms on Bounded Lattices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0672-8134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00dcmit","family":"Ertu\u011frul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon 61080, Turkey"}]},{"given":"Merve","family":"Ye\u015filyurt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon 61080, Turkey"}]},{"given":"Radko","family":"Mesiar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Descriptive Geometry, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Slovak University of Technology, Radlinsk\u00e9ho 11, 810 05 Bratislava, Slovakia"},{"name":"CE IT4Innovations\u2014IRAFM, University of Ostrava, 700 30 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-0114(95)00133-6","article-title":"Uninorms aggregation operators","volume":"180","author":"Yager","year":"1996","journal-title":"Fuzzy Sets Syst."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Grabisch, M., Marichal, J.-L., Mesiar, R., and Pap, E.
