Abstract

In the present chapter we shall give one more, but a somewhat unusual example of a continuous fuzzy measurement of energy (see (AMP99)).1 Its peculiarity is that it is a measurement with a negative result (null measurement). The measuring device in a null measurement is constructed so as to discover some object or event, but the measurement gives a negative result. Nevertheless, the null measurement influences the system. An example to be considered is peculiar in that the negative-result measurement is continuous.
