On mathematical foundations of the plausibility theory
José M. Sigarreta, P. Ruesga, Miguel Rodríguez · International Mathematical Forum · 2007
This article constructs a theoretical framework enabling the logic of plausibility to be axiomatised and for decisions about plausibility to be automated. One result is that undecidability presented in the initial theory is resolved. To arrive at a logical-mathematical basis of the theory of plausibility an axiomatization of plausibility logic based on notions of evidence is proposed. It is through these axioms that this logic is characterized and its properties deduced.
