This exposition of generalized measure theory unfolds systematically. It begins with preliminaries and new concepts, followed by a detailed treatment of important new results regarding various types of nonadditive measures and associated integration theory.

This textbook provides an exhaustive review of generalized measures, from the theoretical background to the latest applications. It is designed as a main text for graduate courses on Generalized Measure Theory, Fuzzy Measure Theory, Theory of Nonadditive Measures and Theory of Monotone Measures. It can also be used as a reference in courses on Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy Control and Fuzzy Logic.

Most up-to-date textbook in the field, covering recent applications Numerous examples motivate the theory and exercises at the end of the chapter provide practice to the student Useful to an interdisciplinary cadre of mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists and specialists working in decision making Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
