A Combined System for Update Logic and Belief Revision

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3371))

Abstract

In this paper we propose a logical system combining the update logic of A. Baltag, L. Moss and S. Solecki (to which we will refer to by the generic term BMS, [BMS04]) with the belief revision theory as conceived by C. Alchouròn, P. Gärdenfors and D. Mackinson (that we will call the AGM theory, [GardRott95]) viewed from the point of view of W. Spohn ([Spohn90,Spohn88]). We also give a proof system and a comparison with the AGM postulates.
