Abstract
Open problems posed by Klir and Wierman (1998) for a nonspecificity measure are solved; the measure is proven additive, and its extension to nonconvex sets given. Several different proofs of additivity are given, to suggest certain techniques of wider applicability in system problems and to motivate further research possibihties. A study is initiated to refine nonspecificity separately to each dimension k≤n for the bodies residing in Rn.
