Abstract :
Previously studied fuzzy bipolar conditions of type "and if possible" are made of a mandatory condition c and an optional condition w. They allow expressing complex preferences of a conjunctive nature. We define in this paper, a new kind of fuzzy bipolar conditions of the form "or else" which express complex preferences of a disjunctive nature. We show that the "or else" form can be used as a negation operator of the "and if possible" form and vice versa. We also show that these both forms are compatible and, therefore, fuzzy bipolar conditions of both types can be used together in the same bipolar query.
