Abstract

This paper presents a new method for approximating an unrestricted belief measure assuring that the "order" defined by the compatibility degree between evidence and the singletons set is preserved. Our approach, based on the concept of fuzzy T-preorder, also allows us to define several equivalence criteria over the set of all basic probability assignment functions on a given domain. Some others related aspects as uniqueness of the approximations are also addressed.
