Generalized real analysis and its applications (Q2270400)

Pseudo-analysis is a generalization of the real mathematical analysis, where for the range of functions and and measures instead of the field of real numbers a semiring on a real interval is taken, denoting the corresponding operations by \(\oplus\) (pseudo-addition) and \(\odot\) (pseudo-multiplication). Simple examples are \(x\oplus y= \min\{x,y\}\), \(x\odot y= x+y\) on \((-\infty,\infty]\), or generated by a monotone function \(g: [a,b] \to [-\infty, \infty]\) when \(x oplus y= g^{-1}(g(x)+g(y))\),\( x\oplus y= g^{-1}(g(x)g(y))\). It is shown how such operations occur as basic operations in the theory of fuzzy sets and in fuzzy logics, as well as a generalization of the utility theory represented by hybrid, probabilistic-possibilistic measure. Also some applications are presented, such as the large deviation principle, the nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi equation or the cumulative prospect theory.
