Abstract
The paper presents a simple method of CwW that is based on RDM-models of intervals and on the multidimensional RDM-interval arithmetic. The method is explained on the example of popular Zadeh’s challenge problem known as ‘Balls in a box’ problem. On the base of presented calculations, the general methodology of solving CwW problems with the application of simplified RDM-models of quantifiers is formulated.
