    Let \(\lambda\in (-1,\infty)\), \(\lambda\neq 0\), be a real number. A fuzzy measure g on \({\mathcal L}\) (\({\mathcal L}^ a \sigma\)-algebra on an arbitrary set X) is called \(\lambda\)-additive if, whenever \(A\in {\mathcal L}\), \(B\in {\mathfrak L}\), and \(A\cap B=\emptyset\) then \[ g(A\cup B)=g(A)+g(B)+\lambda g(A)g(B). \] Let \(X_ n:=\{x_ 1,...,x_ n\}\) be an arbitrary finite set and let \(P(X_ n)\) be the power set of \(X_ n\). If \(g_ 1,...,g_ n\) are real numbers such that \(0\leq g_ 1,...,g_ n\leq 1\) and \(\frac{1}{\lambda}[\prod^{n}_{i=1}(1+\lambda g_ i)-1]=1,\) then \(g: P(X_ n)\to [0,1],\) \(g(A):=\frac{1}{\lambda}[\prod_{i:x_ i\in A}(1+\lambda g_ i)-1]\) for all \(A\neq \emptyset\), and \(g(\emptyset)=0\), is the unique \(\lambda\)-additive fuzzy measure h on \(P(X_ n)\) such that \(h(\{x_ i\})=g_ i\) holds for \(i=1,...,n\). Therefore a one-to-one correspondence exists between the \(\lambda\)-additive fuzzy measures on \(P(X_ n)\) and the n-tuples of \[ V_ n:=\{(g_ 1,...,g_ n);\quad g_ i\in [0,1],\quad \frac{1}{\lambda}[\prod^{n}_{i=1}(1+\lambda g_ i)-1]=1\}. \]
