Complexity of Nested Circumscription and Nested Abnormality Theories [article]

Marco Cadoli, Thomas Eiter, Georg Gottlob
2002 arXiv   pre-print
The need for a circumscriptive formalism that allows for simple yet elegant modular problem representation has led Lifschitz (AIJ, 1995) to introduce nested abnormality theories (NATs) as a tool for modular  ...  Finally, we also study extensions of NATs and briefly address the complexity in the first-order case. Our results give insight into the "cost" of using L_CIRC (resp.  ...  We are grateful to the referees of the preliminary conference version of this paper, which had a number of useful suggestions for improvements.  ...

Checking the Size of Circumscribed Formulae

Paolo Liberatore
2014 International Journal of Advanced Research in Artificial Intelligence (IJARAI)  
In particular, the complexity of deciding whether CIRC(T ) is equivalent to a formula of size bounded by k is studied.  ...  The circumscription of a propositional formula T may not be representable in polynomial space, unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author expresses his profound gratitude to Roberto Baldoni and Marco Schaerf for their unvaluable suggestions during the writing of this article.  ...

Inverse Circumscription

Hubie Chen
2003 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence  
This pa per formalizes and studies the inverse circumscription problem, which (roughly speaking) is to de cide, given a set of models, if there exists a formula whose circumscription describes the input  ...  Inverse (or identification) problems involve decid ing whether or not an explicitly given set of data points have an implicit description, for instance, in the form of a constraint network.  ...  The author wishes to thank Bart Selman for useful discussions and suggestions, and Joe Halpern for his advice on the preparation of the final version of this paper.  ...

On the counting complexity of propositional circumscription

Arnaud Durand, Miki Hermann
2008 Information Processing Letters  
Propositional circumscription, asking for the minimal models of a Boolean formula, is an important problem in artificial intelligence, in data mining, in coding theory, and in the model checking based  ...  We consider the counting problems of propositional circumscription for several subclasses with respect to the structure of the formula.  ...  On the other hand, the counting complexity of circumscription for Horn and 2affine formulas is in FP.  ...

Space Efficiency of Propositional Knowledge Representation Formalisms

M. Cadoli, F. M. Donini, P. Liberatore, M. Schaerf
2000 The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research  
In particular, we consider formalisms for nonmonotonic reasoning, such as circumscription and default logic, as well as belief revision operators and the stable model semantics for logic programs with  ...  Intuitively, the space efficiency of a formalism F in representing a certain piece of knowledge A, is the size of the shortest formula of F that represents A.  ...  Acknowledgments This paper is an extended and revised version of a paper by the same authors appeared in the proceedings of the fifth international conference on the principles of knowledge representation  ...

A survey of complexity results for non-monotonic logics

Marco Cadoli, Marco Schaerf
1993 The Journal of Logic Programming  
We not only give results about the tractability/intractability of the individual problems but we also analyze sources of complexity and explain intuitively the nature of easy/hard cases.  ...  This paper surveys the main results appearing in the literature on the computational complexity of non-monotonic inference tasks.  ...  Model Checking Kolaitis and Papadimitriou [771 noticed that the complexity of circumscription seems to arise even in the problem of model checking.  ...
