Weaknesses of various proposals of probabilistic interpretation of MTE belief functions are demonstrated. A new frequency-based interpretation is presented overcoming various dr...

K. Martin and P. Panangaden [12] have made the interesting observation that the causal order in general relativity theory closely relates to domain theoretical notions. From the causal structure of models of spacetime which are called strongly hyperbolic they extract the notion of a strongly hyperbolic poset. These are in particular bicontinuous, that is, continuous posets with the property tha...
