Generalized Evidence Theory

Conflict management is still an open issue in the application of Dempster Shafer evidence theory. A lot of works have been presented to address this issue. In this paper, a new theory, called as generalized evidence theory (GET), is proposed. Compared with existing methods, GET assumes that the general situation is in open world due to the uncertainty and incomplete knowledge. The conflicting evidence is handled under the framework of GET. It is shown that the new theory can explain and deal with the conflicting evidence in a more reasonable way.Comment: 39 pages, 5 figure

Extensions of a New Algorithm for the Numerical Solution of Linear Differential Systems on an Infinite Interval

This paper is part of a series of papers in which the asymptotic theory and appropriate symbolic computer code are developed to compute the asymptotic expansion of the solution of an n-th order ordinary differential equation. The paper examines the situation when the matrix that appears in the Levinson expansion has a double eigenvalue. Application is made to a fourth-order ODE with known special function solution

Modelling the cooperative information filtering problem

In this paper, we present an original approach for modelling the cooperative information filtering problem using Logic of Infonnation Flow and Situation Theory .We describe the fundamental concepts of these theories and discuss crucial issues that arise during the exposition, such as defining Situation Theory as a Heyting algebra and showing that in our application this theory is well-founded
