Abstract
This paper attempts to provide a theoretical basis for probabilistic relaxation. First the problem of a formal specification is addressed. An approach to determining support functions is developed based on a formula for combining contextual evidence derived in the paper. A method of developing relaxation labelling schemes using these support functions is briefly described.
