Review text

The authors of the paper under review introduce a new criterion for the minimality of a belief revision effected via the notion of comparative entrenchment. The criterion is quantitative. It is formulated in terms of a certain kind of function, which they call a `capacity', defined on subsets of an entrenchment base. Given a belief set, an entrenchment basis for that belief set, and a capacity function on subsets of the basis, the revision outputs a new belief set, a new entrenchment basis, and a new capacity function for it. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0982.00012].
