چکیده
Geometrical and topological properties of the set of all belief functions generated by a random closed interval are studied. It is shown that this set is a metrizable (noncompact) simplex and its extreme points are completely characterized.

On weakly e*-open and weakly e*-closed Functions
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study two new classes of functions called weakly $e^{*}$-open functions and weakly $e^{*}$-closed functions via the concept of $e^{*}$-open set defined by Ekici cite{erd1}. The notions of weakly $e^{*}$-open and weakly $e^{*}$-closed functions are weaker than the notions of weakly $beta$-open and weakly $beta$-closed functions defined by Caldas and Nava...
متن کاملbelief function and the transferable belief model
Beliefs are the result of uncertainty. Sometimes uncertainty is because of a random process and sometimes the result of lack of information. In the past, the only solution in situations of uncertainty has been the probability theory. But the past few decades, various theories of other variables and systems are put forward for the systems with no adequate and accurate information. One of these a...
متن کاملA Note on Belief Structures and S-approximation Spaces
We study relations between evidence theory and S-approximation spaces. Both theories have their roots in the analysis of Dempsterchr('39')s multivalued mappings and lower and upper probabilities, and have close relations to rough sets. We show that an S-approximation space, satisfying a monotonicity condition, can induce a natural belief structure which is a fundamental block in evidence theory...
متن کاملWeighted similarity measure on interval-valued fuzzy sets and its application to pattern recognition
A new approach to define the similarity measure betweeninterval-valued fuzzy sets is presented. The proposed approach isbased on a weighted measure in which the normalized similaritiesbetween lower functions and also between upper functions arecombined by a weight parameter. The properties of this similaritymeasure are investigated. It is shown that, the proposed measurehas some advantages in c...
متن کاملA Probability Space based on Interval Random Variables
This paper considers an extension of probability space based on interval random variables. In this approach, first, a notion of interval random variable is introduced. Then, based on a family of continuous distribution functions with interval parameters, a concept of probability space of an interval random variable is proposed. Then, the mean and variance of an interval random variable are intr...
