Positive operator bimeasures and a noncommutative generalization

Kari Ylinen (1996)

Studia Mathematica

For C*-algebras A and B and a Hilbert space H, a class of bilinear maps Φ: A× B → L(H), analogous to completely positive linear maps, is studied. A Stinespring type representation theorem is proved, and in case A and B are commutative, the class is shown to coincide with that of positive bilinear maps. As an application, the extendibility of a positive operator bimeasure to a positive operator measure is shown to be equivalent to various conditions involving positive scalar bimeasures, pairs of...

Positive vector measures with given marginals

Surjit Singh Khurana (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Suppose E is an ordered locally convex space, X 1 and X 2 Hausdorff completely regular spaces and Q a uniformly bounded, convex and closed subset of M t + ( X 1 × X 2 , E ) . For i = 1 , 2 , let μ i M t + ( X i , E ) . Then, under some topological and order conditions on E , necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the existence of an element in Q , having marginals μ 1 and μ 2 .

Possibilistic alternatives of elementary notions and relations of the theory of belief functions

Ivan Kramosil (2001)

Kybernetika

The elementary notions and relations of the so called Dempster–Shafer theory, introducing belief functions as the basic numerical characteristic of uncertainty, are modified to the case when probabilistic measures and basic probability assignments are substituted by possibilistic measures and basic possibilistic assignments. It is shown that there exists a high degree of formal similarity between the probabilistic and the possibilistic approaches including the role of the possibilistic Dempster...
