Abstract

It is well-known that fuzzy measures are non-additive. In this paper we introduce the concept of defect which gives us the degree of non-additivity of fuzzy measures. For large classes of fuzzy measures this defect is calculated and estimated. Three kinds of applications are given: to the approximative calculation of some fuzzy integrals, to the best approximation of a fuzzy measure by classical measures and to the introduction of an invariant at translations distance on the set of fuzzy measures.
