We present a new logical approach to reasoning from inconsistent information. The idea is to restore modelhood of inconsistent formulas by providing a third truth-value tolerating inconsistency. The novelty of our approach stems first from the restriction of entailment to three-valued models as similar as possible to two-valued models and second from an implication connective providing a notion...

BACKGROUND . Logical inconsistency for health states preferences occurs when one logically worse health state, in terms of quality of life, is ranked higher than a logically better health state. OBJECTIVE . This study explores the presence of inconsistent responses for the EQ-5D health states valuations in a Brazilian population survey. It compares the level of inconsistency in 3 preference-b...

Inconsistency is a challenge with many delaysensitive Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs). In this paper, a framework for inconsistency analysis and control is proposed. A typical situation, called hot-spot region, is considered for resolving this problem, since it is one of major causes of the inconsistency. Stochastic models are presented to abstract the operations of a MMOG in the con...

There are relatively few proposals for inconsistency measures for propositional belief bases. However inconsistency measures are potentially as important as information measures for artificial intelligence, and more generally for computer science. In particular, they can be useful to define various operators for belief revision, belief merging, and negotiation. The measures that have been propo...

This essay develops a new method to diagnose inconsistency in dichotomous choice contingent valuation with follow-up questions: in particular, downward bias in the mean WTP. It is shown that the previous methods aimed to explain this inconsistency in responses have ignored statistical inconsistency: non-perfect correlation between the initial and follow-up responses and thus have provided wrong...

Inconsistency is commonplace in the real world in long-term memory and knowledge based systems. Managing inconsistency is considered a hallmark of the plasticity of human intelligence. Belief revision is an important mental process that underpins human intelligence. To facilitate belief revision, it is necessary to know the localities and contexts of inconsistency and how different types of inc...

Given an intertemporal optimization problem over a time interval $[t_0,T]$ and control plan associated to it, we introduce the four notions of local global tail optimality preferences consistency agent. While notion is not new, main innovation this paper definition agent, which novel concept. We prove that, in case linear time-consistent where dynamic programming can be applied, optimal globall...
