This paper addresses the crucial issue in the design of a proof development system of how to deal with partial functions and the related question of how to treat undefined terms. ...
The paper summarizes the author's experience in dealing with the Dempster-Shafer theory relating to reliability assessments and demonstrates how to make component and system ...
