New monotone measure-based integrals inspired by scientific impact problem

Abstract

In this paper, we define new functionals generalizing scientometric indices proposed by Mesiar and G\k{a}golewski in 2016 to overcome some limitations of h-index. These functionals are integrals with respect to a monotone measure as well as aggregation functions under some mild conditions. We derive numerous properties of the new integrals and analyze subadditivity property in detail. We also give a partial solution to the problem posed by Mesiar and Stup\v{n}anov\'a to find an algorithm for computing the pseudo-decomposition integral of n-th order based on operations $\oplus=+$ and $\odot=\wedge,$ which will be useful in multi-criteria decision problems.
