We further remark that this shows that a substantial subsystem of second order number theory is needed to establish the semantic...

Understanding Relevance Vis-a-Vis Internal Transfer

Duncan Luce Independence Properties Vis - À - Vis Several Utility Representations

A detailed theoretical analysis is presented of what five utility representations – subjective expected utility (SEU), rank-dependent (cumulative or Choquet) utility (RDU), gains decomposition utility (GDU), rank weighted utility (RWU), and a configural-weight model (TAX) that we show to be equivalent to RWU – say about a series of independence properties, many of which were suggested by M. H. ...

At the same, time the increased role of digital systems raises new security and privacy issues.
