Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the AGM account of belief change, originally developed by Alchourrón, Gärdenfors and Makinson [4]. In Sections 3.1–3.3 we introduce the formal apparatus of belief sets and in Section 3.4 the operations of change. In Sections 3.5–3.6 we introduce the axioms of the AGM model. In Section 3.7 the relations between contraction and revision are specified and in Section 3.8 we introduce the basic construtive method of the AGM model, partial meet contraction and revision functions.
