Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we define finitely additive, probability and modular functions over semiring-like structures. We investigate finitely additive functions with the help of complemented elements of a semiring. We also generalize some classical results in probability theory such as the law of total probability, Bayes’ theorem, the equality of parallel systems, and Poincaré’s inclusion-exclusion theorem. While we prove that modular functions over a couple of known semirings are almost constant, we show it is possible to define many different modular functions over some semirings such as bottleneck algebras and the semiring (Id(D),+,⋅), where D is a Dedekind domain.
