Abstract

The measures presented in this paper are defined by using Weber's concept of decomposable measures m of crisp sets, having in particular the Archimedean decomposable operations in view (Section 2). Measures m of fuzzy sets are introduced as integrals with respect to m. For the Archimedean cases, Weber's integral will be used as alternative to Sugeno's and Choquet's concepts (Section 3). What ‘fuzziness’ means will be described by functions of fuzziness F (another name: entropy N-functions) with respect to a negation. In addition to the types of functions of fuzziness which are induced by concave functions, we discuss also the ones which are induced by fuzzy connectives (Section 4). Now, using m for measuring the ‘importance of items’ and F for the ‘fuzziness’ of the possible values of a fuzzy set ϕ, m̄(F ∘ ϕ) serves us as a measure of the fuzziness F ϕ of ϕ. The concepts of De Luca and Termini, Capocelli and De Luca, Kaufmann, Knopfmacher, Loo, Gottwald, Dombi and, under the restriction to the Archimedean cases, also the concepts of Trillas and Riera and Yager turn out to be special cases (Section 5).
