...peration. However, this discounting operation only allows agent Ag to weaken a source of information, whereas it could sometimes be useful to strengthen it, e.g., when this source is too cautious. In =-=[14]-=-, the following mechanism for weakening or reinforcing a BBA m was introduced and justified: ν m = ν1 mΩ + ν2 m + ν3 tr m , (4) with νi ∈ [0, 1] ∀i ∈ {1, 2, 3} and ν1 + ν2 + ν3 = 1. The BBA tr m corre...

...tes in which the source can be when the information is supplied. This paper extends and reexpresses some results, limited to the aspects of reinforcement and discounting, introduced by the authors in =-=[9]-=-. Belief functions are used in different models, for instance, models based on lower and upper probabilities, like Dempster’s model [1] or Hints model [6], the random sets theory [5], or the transfera...
