Knowledge, ignorance, and uncertainty: An investigation from the perspective of some differential equations

作者:

Highlights:

• Proposes a novel quantification of two key concepts in expert/intelligent systems.

• These concepts are the knowledge and ignorance levels.

• Some theoretical results are developed to provide a holistic and in-depth treatment.

• Some illustrative examples demonstrate key computational issues.

• These results can become an integral foundation for more important developments.
