Independence in Possibility Theory under Different Triangular Norms

  • Conference paper
Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning with Uncertainty (ECSQARU 2013)

Abstract

In this paper we consider coherent T-conditional possibility assessments, with T a continuous t-norm, and introduce for them a concept of independence already studied for the minimum and strict t-norms. As a significant particular case of T-conditional possibility we explicitly consider T DP -conditional possibility (obtained through the minimum specificity principle) introduced by Dubois and Prade.
