      The paradox of the heap of grains in respect to roughness, fuzziness and negligibility (English)
      0 references
      The paradox of the heap of grains is discussed using roughness, fuzziness and negligibility approaches. It is shown that the problem can be partially solved using a rough tolerance approach. However, there still remains a non-concordance between the experimental finiteness and the theoretical infinity of a heap. The problem can be approached via negligibility of finite sets with respect to infinite sets. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0891.00026].
