It is known that bisymmetry generalizes the simultaneous commutativity and associativity in the framework of the unit interval. In this work, we will completely characterize two classes of bisymmetric aggregation operators: one with a neutral element and the other with the vertical and horizontal sections of the idempotent elements being smooth on a finite chain, but not necessarily smooth and commutative. Thus, the previous results, based on the smoothness that is known as a very restrictive condition, are improved. For example, there is only one smooth Archimedean t-norm on a finite chain. In this paper, the discrete bisymmetric aggregation operators are explored without the limit of the smoothness. As a by-product, it is deduced that for smooth aggregation operators on a finite chain, the bisymmetry is equivalent to the commutativity and associativity, which improves the conclusion obtained by Mas et al. that associativity and bisymmetry are equivalent for commutative smooth aggregation operators on a finite chain.
