Abstract
Since its introduction in 1965 by Zadeh [304], fuzzy set theory has been well developed and applied in a wide variety of real problems. The term fuzzy variable was first introduced by Kaufmann [122], then it appeared in Zadeh [306][307] and Nahmias [225]. Possibility theory was proposed by Zadeh [307], and developed by many researchers such as Dubois and Prade [62][63].
