Abstract

Exotic semirings have become an important area of mathematical research over the last decade. Fuzzy set theory, and especially possibility theory are Uncertainty Systems that use exotic semirings as their algebra. This connection was first notes in an exploration of generalized measures of uncertainty. There is a lot the fuzzy set community can learn from the new ares being explored in exotic semirings. ...
