On the Logic of Theory Change: Relations Between Incision and Selection Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work elaborates on the connection between partial meet contractions and kernel contractions in belief change theory. We present a way to define incision functions (used in kernel contractions) from selection functions (used in partial meet contractions) and vice versa. Then we make precise under which conditions there are exact correspondences between selection and incision functions so that the same contraction operations can be obtained by using either of them.

متن کاملA Review on the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of the SPP Concerning to the Available Experimental Data and Evaluating Regression Polynomial Functions
Surface-piercing propellers have been widely used in light and high-speed vessels because of their superior performance. One of the major steps in propeller selection algorithm is the determination of thrust as well as torque hydrodynamic coefficients. For the purpose of simplifying design and selection procedure, some relations are presented for determining hydrodynamic coefficients in some st...

متن کاملInvestigating the effect of family structure changes on houses\' spatial organization using grounded theory: A case study of the houses of Yazd
During the Pahlavi era, Iran's widespread developments influenced by the industrial revolution led to a lot of changes in family structure and by changing the function of family and the roles and relations of family members, paved the way for a change in the houses' spatial organization. Therefore, the main question addressed in this study is: “"What changes are brought about in the space organ...
