A Lattice-Theoretic Interpretation of Independence of Frames
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the nature of independence of sources in the theory of evidence from an algebraic point of view, starting from the analogy with the case of projective geometries. Independence in Dempster’s rule is equivalent to independence of frames as Boolean algebras. Collection of frames, though, can be interpreted as semi-modular lattices on which independence can be defined in several different forms. We prove those forms to be distinct but related to Boolean independence, as a step towards a more general definition of this fundamental notion.

An algebraic study of the notion of independence of frames
In this paper we discuss the notion of independence of frames in the theory of evidence from an algebraic point of view, starting from an analogy with standard linear independence. Families of frames can be given several algebraic interpretations in terms of semi-modular lattices, matroids, and geometric lattices. Each of those structures are endowed with a particular (extended) independence re...
متن کاملA characterization of L-dual frames and L-dual Riesz bases
This paper is an investigation of $L$-dual frames with respect to a function-valued inner product, the so called $L$-bracket product on $L^{2}(G)$, where G is a locally compact abelian group with a uniform lattice $L$. We show that several well known theorems for dual frames and dual Riesz bases in a Hilbert space remain valid for $L$-dual frames and $L$-dual Riesz bases in $L^{2}(G)$.
متن کاملOn the design and security of a lattice-based threshold secret sharing scheme
In this paper, we introduce a method of threshold secret sharing scheme (TSSS) in which secret reconstruction is based on Babai's nearest plane algorithm. In order to supply secure public channels for transmitting shares to parties, we need to ensure that there are no quantum threats to these channels. A solution to this problem can be utilization of lattice-based cryptosystems for these channe...
متن کاملPossibility Theory Iii Possibilistic Independence
The introduction of the notion of independence in possibility theory is a problem of long-standing interest. Many of the measure-theoretic definitions that have up to now been given in the literature face some difficulties as far as interpretation is concerned. Also, there are inconsistencies between the definition of independence of measurable sets and possibilistic variables. After a discussi...
متن کاملOn the Conditional Independence Implication Problem: A Lattice-Theoretic Approach
A lattice-theoretic framework is introduced that permits the study of the conditional independence (CI) implication problem relative to the class of discrete probability measures. Semi-lattices are associated with CI statements and a finite, sound and complete inference system relative to semi-lattice inclusions is presented. This system is shown to be (1) sound and complete for saturated CI st...
