We characterize some bivariate semicopulas and, among them, the semicopulas satisfying a Lipschitz condition. In particular, the characterization of harmonic semicopulas allows us to introduce a new concept of depedence between two random variables. The notion of multivariate semicopula is given and two applications in the theory of fuzzy measures and stochastic processes are given.
Recently, Baczyński et al. (2017) proposed a new family of implication operators called semicopula based implications, which combines a given a priori fuzzy implication and a semicopula. In this paper, firstly, the relationship between the basic properties of the priori fuzzy implication and the semicopula based implication are analyzed. Secondly, the conditions such that the semicopula based implication is a fuzzy implication are studied, the study is carried out mainly in the case that the semicopula is a special family semicopula and the priori fuzzy implication is a (U,N)-implication. Moreover, the case that the semicopula based implication is 2-increasing (directionally decreasing, respectively) is also considered.
