In this original article, there are several editing errors and it is given below:
-
In section 2. The Problem of Axiomatisation of the Concept of Grey, Axioms 1 to 4 are incorrect. It should be:
Axiom 1. \(G^{^\circ }\) (\(A_{i}\)) ≥ 0 for any \(A_{i} \in { }{\mathcal{F}}\)
Axiom 2. \(G^{^\circ }\) (\(A_{i}\)) = 0 ⇔ \(A_{i}\) = \(\left\{ {a_{i} } \right\}\), with \(A_{i}\) = \(\left\{ {a_{i} } \right\}\) denotes any one-element set belonging to the \({\mathcal{F}}\)
Axiom 3. \( G^{^\circ }\) (Ω) = 1
Axiom 4. \(G^{^\circ }\) (\(\bigcup\nolimits_{i \in N} {A_{i} }\)) = \(\mathop \sum \limits_{i \in N} G^{^\circ } {(}A_{i} {)}\), where: \(A_{i} \cap A_{j} = {\text{\O }}\) ˄ \(A_{i}\) ≠ {\(a_{i}\)}
-
In section 2. The Problem of Axiomatisation of the Concept of Grey, Definition 1 is incorrect. It should be:
Definition 1. If \(\left\{ {{\Omega },{\mathcal{F}},G^{^\circ } } \right\}\), is a grey space and \({\Omega } \subset {\mathcal{R}}\) and \(A \subset {\mathcal{F}},\) then a continuous grey number is called an unknown number \(d^{*} \in {\mathcal{R}},\) about which we can only say that: \(\underline {a} \le d^{*} \le \overline{a}\), whereby: \(\underline {a} = \inf (A)\), \(\overline{a} = \sup (A)\).
-
In section 2. The Problem of Axiomatisation of the Concept of Grey, the following text is editorially incorrect:
Since the Numbers Mentioned are sets of One Element, the Following Axiom Applies to them.
It should be:
Since the numbers mentioned are sets of one Element, the following axiom applies to them.

In section 4. The Category of Quality and its Relevance to Methodological Issues in Grey Systems Theory and Other Approaches to Data Analysis Definition 12 is incorrect. It should be:
Definition 12. Quality is called a set of characteristics.
$$ Q = \left\{ {a_{1} ,a_{2} ,a_{3} \ldots } \right\}\;{\text{or}}\;Q = \left\{ {a_{1} ,a_{2} ,a_{3} \ldots ,a_{n} } \right\}\;{\text{or}}\;Q = \emptyset $$ -
In section 4. The Category of Quality and its Relevance to Methodological Issues in Grey Systems Theory and Other Approaches to Data Analysis Definition 12 is incorrect. It should be:
Definition 14. A quality state is called a set of state of a feature
$$ Q_{s} = \{ s_{a1} ,s_{a2} , \ldots \} \;{\text{or}}\;Q_{s} = \left\{ {s_{a1} ,s_{a2} , \ldots s_{an} } \right\}\;{\text{or}}\;Q_{s} = \emptyset $$ -
In section 4. The Category of Quality and its Relevance to Methodological Issues in Grey Systems Theory and Other Approaches to Data Analysis, the following text is to be corrected:
$$ Q^{FUZZY} = \left\{ {\left( {a_{i} ,\mu_{Q} \left( {a_{i} } \right)} \right)|a_{i} \in Q} \right\};\mu_{Q} : Q \to \left[ {0,1} \right]; i \in N $$(1.5)It should be:
$$Q^{FUZZY} = \left\{ {\left( {a_{i} ,\mu_{Q} \left( {a_{i} } \right)} \right)|a_{i} \in Q} \right\};\mu_{Q} :{ }Q \to { }\left[ {0,1} \right];{ }i \in N$$ -
In section 4. The Category of Quality and its Relevance to Methodological Issues in Grey Systems Theory and Other Approaches to Data Analysis, the following text is to be corrected:
In an analogous way, the grey quality state of an object can be determined by using the concept of feature state and quality state (1.8)
$$ Q_{s}^{GREY} = \left\{ {\left( {S_{ai} ,G_{s}^{^\circ } \left( {S_{ai} } \right)} \right)|Q_{s} \subset {\Omega }_{s} ,{ }S_{ai} \subset {\mathcal{F}}\left( {{\Omega }_{s} } \right), s_{ai} \in S_{ai} } \right\};G_{s}^{^\circ } :{\mathcal{F}}\left( {{\Omega }_{s} } \right) \to \left[ {0,1} \right];i \in N $$(1.8)It should be:
In an analogous way, the grey quality state of an object can be determined by using the concept of feature state and quality state
$$ Q_{s}^{GREY} = \left\{ {\left( {S_{ai} ,G_{s}^{^\circ } \left( {S_{ai} } \right)} \right)|Q_{s} \subset {\Omega }_{s} ,{ }S_{ai} \subset {\mathcal{F}}\left( {{\Omega }_{s} } \right), s_{ai} \in S_{ai} } \right\};G_{s}^{^\circ } :{\mathcal{F}}\left( {{\Omega }_{s} } \right) \to \left[ {0,1} \right];i \in N $$ -
In section 4. The Category of Quality and its Relevance to Methodological Issues in Grey Systems Theory and Other Approaches to Data Analysis, the following text is to be corrected:
Q? the quality of the item in question
It should be:
Q - the quality of the item in question
