Normalization and the Representation of Nonmonotonic Knowledge in the
  Theory of Evidence
  We discuss the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. We introduce a concept of
monotonicity which is related to the diminution of the range between belief and
plausibility. We show that the accumulation of knowledge in this framework
exhibits a nonmonotonic property. We show how the belief structure can be used
to represent typical or commonsense knowledge.
