Several approaches of structuring (factorization, decomposition) of Dempster-Shafer joint belief functions from literature are reviewed with special emphasis on their capability to capture independence from the point of view of the claim that belief functions generalize bayes notion of probability. It is demonstrated that Zhu and Lee's {Zhu:93} logical networks and Smets' {Smets:93} directed ac...

the first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. this method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. in this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2d ginzburg-landau equation.

We discuss the role of fuzzy sets in modeling business rules. The technology involved in fuzzy systems modeling is described. We next introduce some ideas from the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. We use the Dempster-Shafer framework to provide a machinery for including randomness in the fuzzy systems

In this paper, one conflict context reasoning method based on Dempster-Shafer theory is proposed. Firstly the context conflict problems are illustrated and partitioned based on theory of evidence. Then the context model combined with Dempster-Shafer theory is presented and applied to the reasoning method based on Dempster rule of combination. The effectiveness of this method is verified with a ...

considering a temperature dependent two-level quantum system, we have numerically solved the landau-zener transition problem. the method includes the incorporation of temperature effect as a thermal noise added schrödinger equation for the construction of the hamiltonian. here, the obtained results which describe the changes in the system including the quantum states and the transition probabil...

The subject of this paper is the location of objects in the Euclidian plane under partial information So there is a need to represent uncertain and imprecise information about relative position of objects For this pur pose the well founded and persuasive theory of hints will be used Kohlas Monney a This general theory originates to Glenn Shafer s mathe matical theory of evidence Shafer Its most...

introduction environmental impact assessment is a systematic process to identify, predict and evaluate the environmental effects of proposed actions and projects. this process is applied prior to major decisions and commitments being made. environment, social, cultural and health effects are considered as an integral part of eia. particular attention is paid to eia practice for preventing, miti...

Dempster-Shafer evidence theory has been extensively used in many information fusion systems since it was proposed by Dempster and extended by Shafer. Many scholars have been conducted on conflict management of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory in past decades. However, how to determine a potent parameter to measure evidence conflict, when the given environment is in an open world, namely the fra...
