چکیده
The AGM framework of belief dynamics fails to account for iterated belief change. This paper extends the AGM framework in order to solve this problem. As in the AGM, an epistemic input is represented as a single sentence. Unlike the AGM, however , a belief state is represented as an epistemic entrenchment relation. Three state transition functions { namely, entrenchment expansion, entrenchment contraction and entrenchment revision { are constructed that preserve the basic appeal of the AGM system.

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n The notion of the epistemic entrenchment has recently at t racted quite some attention in the AI community.
