Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to propose an extended algebra of truth values by special truth values which may have several interpretations, such as “undefined”, “non-applicative” “overdetermined”, “undetermined”, etc. In this paper, we will analyze several situations, where the non-existent data may come from, and show within a fuzzy sets framework that different cases of non-existence have to be carefully treated and interpreted in a different way.
