Dear Adriano,
The issue tends to be diffused through discussions of topics such as anupalabdhi and abhAva, so there is quite a lot inter alia in works on Indian epistemology (e.g., Matilal's Perception). See, for instance, Dhirendra Sharma,

A recent volume that may be helpful to you is:
good luck,
Matthew
