GENERALIZED MEASURE THEORY Zhenuyan Wang and George J. Klir

IFSR was established ‘‘to stimulate all activities associated with the scientific study of systems and to coordinate such activities at international level.’’ The aim of this series is to stimulate publication of high-quality monographs and textbooks on various topics of systems science and engineering. This series complements the Federation’s other publications. A Continuation Order Plan is available for this series. A continuation order will bring delivery of each new volume immediately upon publication. Volumes are billed only upon actual shipment. For further information please contact the publisher. Volumes 1–6 were published by Pergamon Press.
