Belief Revision Postulates Generalized for Multi-Agent Systems

other · 2026-05-06

A recent preprint on arXiv (2605.02249v1) broadens traditional AGM belief revision principles to accommodate multi-agent scenarios in epistemic planning. This research clarifies how the belief acquisition of one agent regarding a state property influences the beliefs of all agents within a system, employing a unified multi-agent Kripke model. The authors introduce a straightforward operator called generalized full-meet multi-agent revision that adheres to all established postulates and present a generalization for iterated revision alongside an operator based on event models. The paper also addresses potential challenges in defining epistemic operators within Kripke models. Ultimately, the study aspires to establish a formal framework for assessing dynamic epistemic reasoning systems.
