Abstract
Coherence is an important concept which is introduced and discussed in a new mathematics branch, Imprecise Probability Theory. By using the Choquet integral, belief measures can be extended to be coherent lower previsions on the linear space consisting of all bounded functions. As a special case, we establish that all belief measures are coherent imprecise probabilities.
