Abstract: A vast and interesting family of natural semantics for belief revision is defined. Suppose one is given a distance d between any two models. One may then define the revision of a theory K by a formula ff as the theory defined by the set of all those models of ff that are closest, by d, to the set of models of K. This family is characterized by a set of rationality postulates that extends the AGM postulates. The new postulates describe properties of iterated revisions. 1 Introduction 1.1... (Update)

...Mendelzon. In Section 3, we give a full characterization of these operators. We start from a result of Lehmann, Magidor, Schlechta [7] on distance based revision, which has some formal similarity, and re ne the techniques developed there. In the rest of this section, we rst...

...of , which are in some sense closest to some individual K model. Revision in this sense is formalized in Lehmann, Magidor and Schlechta [9], elaborated in [7] The authors have devised there a family of semantics for revision based on minimal change, where change is measured...
