In mathematics, fuzzy measure theory considers a number of special classes of measures, each of which is characterized by a special property. Some of the measures used in this theory are plausibility and belief measures, fuzzy set membership function and the classical probability measures. In the fuzzy measure theory, the conditions are precise, but the information about an element alone is insufficient to determine which special classes of measure should be used. The central concept of fuzzy measure theory is the fuzzy measure (also capacity, see ) which was introduced by Choquet in 1953 and independently defined by Sugeno in 1974 in the context of fuzzy integrals.

Famous quotes containing the words fuzzy, measure and/or theory:
“Even their song is not a sure thing.
It is not a language;
it is a kind of breathing.
They are two asthmatics
whose breath sobs in and out
through a small fuzzy pipe.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“What we know partakes in no small measure of the nature of what has so happily been called the unutterable or ineffable, so that any attempt to utter or eff it is doomed to fail, doomed, doomed to fail.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
