Abstract

The set of possible worlds of any model of modal logic can be endowed with evidence measures, by considering the accessibility relation as a multivalued mapping. The measures induced by the model itself can then be expressed in terms of these measures. Thus, once the set of possible worlds and the accessibility relation of a model of modal logic are fixed, different value assignment functions will induce different measures on the set of atomic propositions. The latter can be obtained easily from the measures on the set of possible worlds.
