The interpretation of data coming from the real world may require different and often complementary uncertainty models: some are better described by possibility theory, others are intrinsically probabilistic. A logic for belief functions is introduced to axiomatize both semantics as special cases. A

โฆ Synopsis
This article attempts to analyze the combination of uncertain pieces of information, particularly, given several pieces of information, each of which is assigned a certainty factor. The problem then is whether it is possible to find the certainty factor associated with the combination result. This problem, even if it has been widely commented on in probability literature from various viewpoints, sounds less analyzed in the framework of possibility or evidence theories. This study investigates various proposals for quantifying certainty qualification and then constructs the certainty assigned for the combination result of initial inputs. First, we shall consider some basic combination modes and then attempt to generalize the result for more general combination modes.

In this note, new criteria for the global asymptotic stability and the global exponential stability of a class of uncertain time-lag systems with time-varying delays are proposed. A numerical example is given to illustrate our main results.
