Abstract

This paper focuses on the topic of ordinal sums of semigroups in the sense of A. H. Clifford - a method for constructing a new semigroup from a given system of semigroups indexed by a linearly ordered index set. We completely describe the linearly ordered index set for an ordinal sum of semigroups yielding a uninorm.
