Their maximality was studied so far only from the point of view of upper bounds which brings quasi-copulas into the picture and limits the resulting set substantially. We propose to study maximality of these families in the order theoretic sense. A copula $C$ with given diagonal section $\delta$ is called undominated if there is no copula $C' \ne C$ with the same diagonal section $\delta$ such that $C \le C'$. The main contribution of this paper is a new method that provides undominated copulas. They form a much wider class that contains the known upper bounds as a very small subclass. There was a recent call for the study of asymmetry which is addressed by our class better than by the known ones. Corresponding quasi-copulas can be obtained from our copulas via splicing techniques. Most results are given on the level of tracks.</dc:description><dc:date>2026</dc:date><dc:date>2026-05-18 11:32:45</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>182583</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 519.2</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 0165-0114</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.fss.2026.109949</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS_ID: 278471427</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
