Based on the canonical decomposition of belief functions, Smets introduced the concept of a latent belief structure (LBS). This concept is revisited in this article. The study of the combination of LBSs allows us to propose a less committed version of Dempster’s rule, resulting in a commutative, associative and idempotent rule of combination for LBSs. This latter property makes it suitable to c...

In this paper we consider the problem of controller synthesis for timed games under imperfect information. Novel to our approach is the requirements to strategies: they should be based on a finite collection of observations and must be stuttering invariant in the sense that repeated identical observations will not change the strategy. We provide a constructive transformation to equivalent finit...

This paper evaluates changes in electricity generation costs caused by the introduction of market mechanisms to determine production United States. I use staggered transition markets from 1999 2012 estimate causal impact liberalization using a differences-in-difference design on comprehensive hourly panel demand, generators’ costs, capacities, and output. find that reduce 5 percent reallocating...

We present first-order post-Newtonian (1PN) approximations of a general imperfect fluid and an axion as coherently oscillating massive scalar field, both in the cosmological context. For axion, using Klein transformation Madelung we derive Schr\"odinger hydrodynamic formulations, respectively, exact covariant way to 1PN order. Complete sets equations for formulations are derived without fixing ...
