In this paper, we lift the work from the restrictive setting of the real unit interval — obfuscating the underlying lattice-theoretical essence — to the general setting of complete distributive symmetric residuated lattices, allowing to build upon the vast body of knowledge on unipolar sup-∗equations on complete distributive residuated lattices. We determine the full solution set, with particular emphasis on the extremal solutions, of a bipolar sup-∗equation in case the right-hand side is a join-irreducible element. The results are illustrated by means of ample examples.}, organization = {Partially supported by the 2014–2020 ERDF Operational Programme in collaboration with the State Research Agency (AEI) in projects TIN2016-76653-P and PID2019-108991GB-I00, and with the Department of Economy, Knowledge, Business and University of the Regional Government of Andalusia in project FEDER-UCA18-108612, and by the European Cooperation in Science & Technology (COST) Action CA17124.
