On the combination and normalization of interval-valued belief structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the issues of combination and normalization of interval-valued belief structures within the framework of Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) of evidence. Existing approaches are reviewed, examined and critically analysed. They either ignore the normalization or separate it from the combination process, leading to irrational or suboptimal interval-valued belief structures. A new logically correct optimality approach is developed, where the combination and the normalization are optimised together rather than separately. Numerical examples are provided throughout the paper. 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Modeling vague beliefs using fuzzy-valued belief structures
This paper presents a rational approach to the representation and manipulation of imprecise degrees of belief in the framework of evidence theory. We adopt as a starting point the non probabilistic interpretation of belief functions provided by Smets’ Transferable Belief Model, as well as previous generalizations of evidence theory allowing to deal with fuzzy propositions. We then introduce the...

In this paper, we introduce a new sort of interval valued $left(in ,in vee q_{widetilde{k}}^{widetilde{delta }}right) $-fuzzy bi-ideal in ordered semigroups which is the generalization of interval valued $left( in ,in vee q_{%widetilde{k}}right) $-fuzzy bi-ideal and interval valued $left( in ,in vee qright) $-fuzzy bi-ideal of ordered semigroups. We give examples in which we show that these str...

The paper introduces a new approach to preference structure, where from a weak preference relation derive the following relations:strict preference, indifference and incomparability, which by aggregations and negations are created and examined. We decomposing a preference relation into a strict preference, anindifference, and an incomparability relation.This approach allows one to quantify diff...
