Abstract
AGM-style revision consists of two suboperations, contraction followed by expansion. With respect to Hansson, this is called “internal revision” and an alternative procedure, “external revision” is proposed. It consists in, first, expanding the belief base by the new sentence and after that contracting by its negation. In this paper, on the one hand, we propose a new framework for local belief revision by extending the LS-model introduced by Parikh and studied by several authors in the last decade. The new model, called the C-structure model, is based on adapting the containment property in propositional logic, since it has been defined in a spatial context. On the other hand, we define a “local external revision” operation equivalent to the one defined by Hansson -in a classical (not-local) framework- by defining local contraction operation.
