## $$T$$-conditional possibilities: coherence and inference.(English)Zbl 1178.60006

Summary: We refer to an axiomatic definition of $$T$$-conditional possibility, where $$T$$ is any $$t$$-norm. We characterize a full $$T$$-conditional possibility in terms of a suitable set of unconditional possibilities. Starting from this characterization we are able to manage coherent conditional possibility assessments and their enlargements. To compare $$T$$-conditional possibility related to different $$t$$-norm $$T$$, we study binary relations locally representable by a $$T$$-conditional possibility.
