Abstract

The objective of this study is to present an alternative approach to solve reasoning problems. DNA computing technique shows to solve evidential reasoning problems in this study. The reasoning is here executed on the basis of the concepts of plausibility and belief function. The evidential reasoning is a process dealing with problems that having both quantitative and qualitative criteria under various uncertainties including ignorance and randomness of information. The procedure to solve reasoning problem by means of DNA computing has been illustrated. An experiment shows the steadfastness of DNA computing to reach the solution of a reasoning problem.
