Paraconsistent mathematics

Paraconsistent mathematics (sometimes called inconsistent mathematics ) represents an attempt to develop the classical infrastructure of mathematics (e.g. theory of analysis) based on a foundation of paraconsistent logic instead of classical logic. A number of interesting reformulations of analysis can be developed, for example functions which both do and do not have a given value simultaneously.

See: paraconsistent analysis.
