Triangular norms, strong negations and two types of Pedrycz's operators are discussed. Consequently, two types of possibility and necessity measures are introduced and several their properties are discussed. Finally, a generalization of Fonck's and Magrez's results concerning the representation of vague and uncertain facts under the form of other vague and certain facts is given. Note, that the author neglects the classical results allowing to simplify several proofs of his results. For instance, the Aczél representation theorem for cancellative associative functions makes theorems 1 and 2 trivial [\textit{J. Aczél}, Lectures on functional equations and their applications (1966; Zbl 0139.09301)] Similarly, Pedrycz's operator \(\tau _T\) exists only for left continuous \(t\)-form \(T\) and then it coincides with \(R\)-implications [e.g., \textit{S. Gottwald}, Fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, Foundations of applications from a Mathematical Point of View (1993; Zbl 0782.94025)]. The maximization operator is simply \(x\tau _Ty = y@>R;T>>x\) (in author's notation).
