TL;DR
A monotonicity property is derived for algebraic operations performed between random set-valued variables, which extends themonotonicity of functions withSet-valued arguments, in the sense of inclusion.

Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.

It is shown that probabilities, too, can be treated as linguistic variables with values such as likely, very likely, unlikely, etc.

The theory of possibility described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets by defining the concept of a possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable.

A distinctive feature of the present approach is a rule for conditioning, or more generally, arule for combining sources of information, as discussed in Sects.

The nonrestricted nonfuzzy variable u constitutes the base variable for X and R(X;u) is a fuzzy subset of U which represents a fuzzy restriction on the values of u imposed by X.

The calculus of fuzzy restrictions is concerned with translation of propositions of various types into relational assignment equations, and the study of transformations of fuzzy Restrictions which are induced by linguistic modifiers, truth-functional modifiers, compositions, projections and other operations.

The algebraic structure of bodies of evidence on a set is studied, based on extended set union, intersection and complementation, and it is pointed out that a body of evidence can account for conjunctive as well as a disjunctive information.

The dual theory — “optimistic” operations on fuzzy numbers, i.e., with maximal error compensation — is outlined; its interest lies in providing tools for solving fuzzy number equations.

It is shown that efficient implementation of Dempster's rule is possible if the questions or partitions for which the authors have evidence are arranged in a qualitative Markov tree—a tree in which separations indicate relations of qualitative conditional independence.

It is shown how variables whose values are represented by Dempster-Shafer structures can be combined under arithmetic operations such as addition under the intersection operation.

It is shown that Dempster's rule of combination is a special application of conjunction followed by a particular implementation of the entailment principle in situations in which the knowledge is a type of combination of possibilistic and probabilistic information which is called Dempsters—Shafer granules.
