Abstract

This chapter presents some applications of modal intervals to practical problems in different fields. First, the minimax problem, tackled from the definitions of the modal *- and **-semantic extensions of a continuous function. Many real life problems of practical importance can be modelled as continuous minimax optimization problems.
