(Non)maximality and Distributivity: a Decision Theory Approach
Following Merin’s (1999) approach to relevance, van Rooy (1999) uses Decision Theory (DT) to give a formal definition of relevance in its application to questions. In his analysis, questions are inherently underspecified or vague (1): their denotation contains a variable Op (1b) that depends on a decision problem facing the speaker (i.e., the questioner). In the context of the decision problem,...
متن کاملQualitative decision theory and multistage decision making: A possibilistic approach
Recently, a qualitative approach to decision under uncertainty has been proposed in the framework of possibility theory by two of the authors, where a counterpart of the probabilistic expected utility has been deened, distinguishing between a pessimistic qualitative utility and an optimistic one which can be used for reening the former. In this framework, multistage decision problems can be dee...
متن کاملWeak Distributivity implying Distributivity
Let B be a complete Boolean algebra. We show that if λ is an infinite cardinal and B is weakly (λ, ω)-distributive, then B is (λ, 2)-distributive. Using a similar argument, we show that if κ is a weakly compact cardinal such that B is weakly (2, κ)distributive and B is (α, 2)-distributive for each α < κ, then B is (κ, 2)-distributive.
متن کاملA practical approach to open-pit mine planning under price uncertainty using information gap decision theory
In the context of open-pit mine planning, uncertainties including commodity price would significantly affect the technical and financial aspects of mining projects. A mine planning that takes place regardless of the uncertainty in price just develops an optimized plan at the starting time of the mining operation. Given the price change over the life of mine, which is quite certain, optimality o...
متن کاملDistributivity in Incompletely Speciied Type Hierarchies: Theory and Computational Complexity
Type hierarchies are a central feature of current systems which employ feature structures for the representation and manipulation of linguistic knowledge, such as TFS, ALE, CUF, and LKB. The system CUF stands out amongst these in its very general language for describing such hierarchies. While the other systems use a description language which allows only the speci cation of meets (greatest low...
