Abstract

This article discusses the comments made by some scientists that multidimensional interval arithmetic (MIA) is the same as constraint interval arithmetic (CIA) and multidimensional fuzzy arithmetic (MFA) is the same as constraint fuzzy arithmetic (CFA). Both types of arithmetic are briefly presented and then the difference in their dimensions, calculation methods, differences in the obtained results and the way they are used in complex calculations are shown. The answer to the question posed is presented in the conclusions.
