An algebraic treatment of imprecise probabilities. (English) Zbl 1237.06006
This is a survey paper about an algebraic approach to imprecise probabilities. Here a state on an MV-algebra $$M$$ is an additive function from $$M$$ to the unit interval. Also, a general treatment of upper and lower probabilities is presented.
