Abstract

In probability theory the notion of coherence has been introduced by de Finetti in terms of bets and it reveals to be equivalent to the notion of consistence of a partial assessment with a finitely additive probability. An important feature of coherent assessments is their coherent extendibility: in general we obtain a class of coherent extensions, determining a lower and an upper envelope. A similar notion of coherence has been recently introduced for (T-conditional) possibility measures, where T is a t-norm. The extendibility of coherent possibility assessments reveals to be particularly suitable for studying interval-based possibilistic logic. Our aim is to compare the results implied by the coherent setting with those obtained in different approaches, in particular, that relying on classical T-based conditioning.
