✦ Synopsis

We describe the theories of approximate reasoning and mathematical evidence. We show that in the face of possibilistic uncertainty they lead to equivalent inferences. After appropriately extending the mathematical theory of evidence to the fuzzy environment we show that these two theories are equivalent in the face of fuzzy and possibilistic uncertainty.
