Abstract :
The connections between coherent probabilities and possibilities are studied from an inferential point of view. We introduce a condition of weak logical independence between two partitions L and L´ assuring that the upper envelope of the extensions of a coherent probability on L is a possibility on the algebra generated by L´.
