Multi-agent logics for reasoning about higher-order upper and lower probabilities. (English) Zbl 07205184
Summary: We present a propositional and a first-order logic for reasoning about higher-order upper and lower probabilities. We provide sound and complete axiomatizations for the logics and we prove decidability in the propositional case. Furthermore, we show that the introduced logics generalize some existing probability logics.
