We discuss several axiomatic alternatives, with the aim of establishing a universal definition reconciling all of them and exploring theoretical links to some branches of Mathematics as well as to multidisciplinary applications.2018http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/7909010.1016/j.ins.2018.04.091http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/79090oai:zaguan.unizar.es:79090info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-MINECO-FEDER/ECO2015-65031-Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-MINECO-FEDER/MTM2015-63608-Pinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-MINECO-FEDER/S2013-ICE-2845info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-MINECO-FEDER/TIN2015-66471-Pinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-MINECO-FEDER/TIN2016-77356-PInformation Sciences 457-458 (2018), 12-28by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
