Abstract
This work highlights the connections between fuzzy orthopartitions and credal partitions, which are both mathematical structures. It is shown that fuzzy orthopartitions are a more general way to represent partitions with uncertainty than credal partitions.

- 1.
We also assume here that \(m_i\) is normalized, namely \(m_i(\emptyset )=0\).
- 2.
By an intuitionistic fuzzy set on a universe U, we mean a pair of functions \(\mu _i:U \rightarrow [0,1]\) and \(\nu _i:U \rightarrow [0,1]\) verifying the condition \(\mu _i(u)+\nu _i(u) \le 1\) for each \(u \in U\).
- 3.
Of course, we need to suppose that \(2 \le n \le l\).
- 4.
Let us recall that a fuzzy probabilistic partition \(\{m_1,\ldots ,m_l\}\) of U is a collection of Bayesian bbas, namely for each \(i \in \{1, \ldots , l\}\), \(\sum _{A \subseteq C}m_i(A)=1\) and \(m_i(A)=0\) for each \(A \subseteq C\) that is not a singleton.
- 5.
We notice that the number of equations is less than or equal to the number of variables in \(S_j\), but this does not imply the existence of a solution. Indeed, if \(x=(x_1, \ldots , x_k)\) is a solution of \(S_j\), it must hold that \(x_1, \ldots , x_k \ge 0\) (i.e., \(x_i\) cannot be any real number).
