Doxastic Normality Logic: A Qualitative Probabilistic Modal Framework for Defaults and Belief
We propose a new semantics for modeling belief, mixing conncepts from qualitative probabilistic and classical possible world accounts. Our belief structures are coherent sets of q...

Belief functions and default reasoning
We present a new approach to dealing with default information based on the theory of belief functions. Our semantic structures, inspired by Adams' -semantics, are epsilon-beli...
