Abstract

In this paper we present how the theory of partial functions can be developed in the fuzzy type theory and show how the theory elaborated by Lapierre [3] and Lepage [4] can be included in it. Namely, the latter is developed as a special theory whose models contain the partial functions in the sense introduced by both authors.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It is required that Sq gives square root for all elements from \(M_{\epsilon }\), on which it is defined and may give arbitrary elements otherwise.

  2. 2.

    We silently assumed that the crisp inequality \(\ge \) is also defined.

  3. 3.

    In fact, we can consider here some arbitrary type \(\alpha \) provided that we will specify its properties characterizing people.
