With the expansion of the Internet, Trust has attracted the attention of more and more researchers. This paper focuses on the trust transitivity problem and proposes a trust transitivity model based on Dempster-Shafer Theory. In our model, we show two types of trust relationship: Identity Trust and Behavior Trust based on Directness Trust and Recommendation Trust. Then we build the trust transi...

Abstract One of the goals science is to understand relation between a whole and its parts, as exemplified by problem certifying entanglement system from knowledge reduced states. Here, we focus on different but related question: can collection marginal information reveal new information? We answer this affirmatively show that (non-) entangled states may exhibit (meta)transitivity entanglement, ...

We study the transitivity of fuzzy preference relations, often considered as a fundamental property providing coherence to a decision process. We consider the transitivity of fuzzy relations w.r.t. conjunctors, a general class of binary operations on the unit interval encompassing the class of triangular norms usually considered for this purpose. Having fixed the transitivity of a large prefere...

Trust transitivity is a common phenomenon embedded in human reasoning about trust. Given a specific context or purpose, trust transitivity is often manifested through the humans’ intuition to rely on the recommendations of a trustworthy advisor about another entity that the advisor recommends. Although this simple principle has been formalised in various ways for many trust and reputation syste...

The notion of a transitive closure of a fuzzy relation is very useful for clustering in pattern recognition, for fuzzy databases, etc. It is based on translating the standard definition of transitivity and transitive closure into fuzzy terms. This definition works fine, but to some extent it does not fully capture our understanding of transitivity. The reason is that this definition is based on...

Since the Transitivity Hypothesis was introduced thirty four years ago, it has become one of the most influential approaches to the functioning of transitivity in natural language. Despite the huge impact of the approach, at least within functional linguistics, some fundamental theoretical and methodological problems still remain unsolved; this seriously undermines the entire approach. The aim ...
