Possibility measures and possibility integrals defined on a complete lattice (Q5939648)

Possibility measures [\textit{L. A. Zadeh}, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 1, 3-28 (1978; Zbl 0377.04002)] and possibility integrals [\textit{D. Dubois} and \textit{H. Prade}, ``Théorie des possibilités'' (1985; Zbl 0674.68059)] (Compare also the Sugeno integral [\textit{M. Sugeno}, Ph.D. thesis (1974), or [\textit{Z. Wang} and \textit{G. J. Klir}, ``Fuzzy measure theory'' (1992; Zbl 0812.28010)]) were introduced in close connection with the structure of the unit interval \([0,1]\) and (complete) Boolean algebras. This paper extends and studies these important tools for uncertainty modelling dealing with (both in the domain and in the range) complete lattices. Firstly, possibility measures are studied, especially their links to mappings between lattices. Next, two types of t-norm-based possibilistic integrals are introduced and studied, reflecting the fact that for a partial order \(<\) is not equivalent to \(\ngeq\). The paper proves the power and generality of the possibility theory.
