Abstract(s)
In this paper we show that, contrary to what is the case in what concerns contractions
by a single sentence, there is not a system of spheres-based construction of multiple
contractions which generates each and every transitively relational partial meet multiple
contraction.
Before proving the general result, we consider the class of system of spheres-based mul tiple contractions introduced in [17,5] and show that this class neither subsumes nor is
subsumed by the class of transitively relational partial meet multiple contractions.
Furthermore, we propose two system of spheres-based constructions of multiple con tractions which generate (only) transitively relational partial meet multiple contractions.
Therefore we can conclude that, although it is impossible to obtain a system of spheres based definition of all the transitively relational partial meet multiple contractions, there
are classes of system of spheres-based multiple contractions which are subsumed by the
class of transitively relational partial meet multiple contractions.
