Partial ordering of hyper-powersets and matrix representation of belief functions within DSmT
Jean Dezert, Florentín Smarandache · 2003
In this paper, we examine several issues for ordering or partially ordering elements of hyper- powertsets involved in the recent theory of plausible, uncertain and paradoxical reasoning (DSmT) developed by the authors. We will show the benefit of some of these issues to obtain a nice and useful matriz repre- sentation of belief junctions.
