Epistemic Entrenchment in Autoepistemic Logic

Fundamenta Informaticae, 1992
A drawback of existing epistemic logics is their inability to deal with entrenchment of beliefs. All beliefs have equal status; none can be held more firmly than others. We present a bimodal logic that generalizes Levesque’s reconstruction of autoepistemic logic. In our system standard epistemic concepts can be represented, including the notion of only

Prioritized Autoepistemic Logic

European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence, 1994
An important problem in data and knowledge representation is the possibility of default rules that conflict. If the application of both of two default rules leads to a contradiction, they cannot both be applied. Systems that support the use of default rules may either remain indifferent or prioritize one rule over the other. In this paper a prioritized

Decision Procedure for Autoepistemic Logic

CADE, 1988
Autoepistemic logic is a nonmonotonic logic for modeling the beliefs of an ideally rational agent who reflects on his own beliefs. Autoepistemic logic has been lacking a decision procedure to answer the question: given a set of premises describing the beliefs of an agent does the agent believe a given formula (is the given formula derivable from the ...

Formalization of Inheritance Reasoning in Autoepistemic Logic

Fundamenta Informaticae, 1990
Current research in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning suggests that autoepistemic logic provides a general framework for formalizing commonsense reasoning in various domains of discourse. The goal of this paper is to investigate the suitability of autoepistemic logic for formalization of some forms of inheritance reasoning.

Revisiting quantification in autoepistemic logic

ACM Transactions on Computational Logic, 2002
In this article, we introduce first-order autoepistemic logic. Our definition is semantical and is based on the intuition similar to that lying behind the definition of first-order default logic.

Stable Theories in Autoepistemic Logic

open access: closedFundamenta Informaticae, 1989
We investigate the operator producing a stable theory out of its objective part (A stable theory is a set of beliefs of a rational agent). We characterize the objective parts of stable theories. Finally, we discuss the predicate calculus case.

Decision Problems in Autoepistemic Logic

2010 International Conference on Computing, Control and Industrial Engineering, 2010
In this paper we will prove the complexity of three main problems in the context of autoepistemic logic. The first problem is the question if a set of premise sum has a stable expansion. The second is if a given formula exists in at least one stable expansion, this problem is also known as brave reasoning.

Autoepistemic Logic and Introspective Circumscription

open access: closed, 1994
We investigate the relationship between two epistemic nonmonotonic formalisms: autoepistemic logic and introspective circumscription. Finitely axiomatized autoepistemic theories are shown to be equivalent to the propositional case of introspective circumscription. This theorem is applied to the problem of relating the usual "minimizing" circumscription

Dynamic autoepistemic logic

open access: closed, 1991
We present in this paper a new logic, called dynamic autoepistemic logic (DAL), to catch the dynamic nature of the reasoner's introspection in autoepistemic logic. We show that (1) multiple levels of exceptions can be naturally represented, and (2) unintended expansions commonly occurring in autoepistemic logic can be removed. We impose polynomial-time
