Fuzzy measure based on decomposition theory (Q1568496)

The authors define a fuzzy measure \({\mathfrak M}^*\) for fuzzy numbers \(D\) by the formula \({\mathfrak M}^*(D)= \int^1_0(D_r(\alpha)- D_1(\alpha)) d\alpha\), where \(D_r(\alpha)\) and \(D_1(\alpha)\) are, respectively, the upper and lower bound of the \(\alpha\)-cut \(\{x\in \mathbb{R}:D(x)\geq \alpha\}= [D_1(\alpha), D_r(\alpha)]\). (However, the same measure is also given by the easier formula \({\mathfrak M}^*(D)= \int D(x) dx\)).
