Modal nonmonotonic logics [PDF]

Journal of the ACM, 1993
Many nonmonotonic formalism, including default logic, logic programming with stable models, and autoepistemic logic, can be represented faithfully by means of modal nonmonotonic logics in the family proposed by McDermott and Doyle. In this paper properties of logics in this family are thoroughly investigated.

Nonmonotonic Logic and Rule-Based Legal Reasoning [PDF]

, 2017
This dissertation defends the use of nonmonotonic logic to represent rule-based legal reasoning, as exemplified by a particular, complex statute: the Internal Revenue Code.

A Multivariate Mixed‐Effects Regression Framework for Ground Motion Modeling: Integrating Parametric and Machine Learning Approaches

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1811-1827, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

Broke Autocrats, Broken Elections: Trade Shocks and Electoral Fraud in Autocracies

Economics &Politics, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 542-559, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We argue that when terms‐of‐trade (ToT) shocks reduce resource rents, autocrats lose the fiscal capacity to sustain loyalty through patronage and increasingly rely on electoral manipulation as a survival strategy. We present a simple model in which rents finance patronage in normal times, while adverse shocks reduce the effectiveness of ...

Defeasible Reasoning in Islamic Legal Theory

Informal Logic
There is a common understanding among logicians today that nonmonotonic types of reasoning, such as defeasible or presumptive, can clearly warrant a rational acceptance of its conclusion.

Top Manager Gender Differences in Inventory Management Under Business Obstacles

Journal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT While the effect of gender on firm performance has been widely studied, its impact on operational policies remains underexplored. We examine the association between top managers' gender and inventory policy among small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs), where top managers play a central role in policy formulation and execution.

Nonmonotonic Logics and Their Algebraic Foundations [PDF]

, 2006
The goal of this note is to provide a background and references for the invited lecture presented at Computer Science Logic 2006. We briefly discuss motivations that led to the emergence of nonmonotonic logics and introduce two major nonmonotonic formalisms, default and autoepistemic logics.

Nonmonotonic logic and temporal projection

Artificial Intelligence, 1987
The reviewed article is a revised version of the paper that won the AI Journal Best Paper Award at AAAI-86. It addresses the following ``temporal projection problem'' (p. 385\({}^{17-20}):\) ``[...] given an initial description of the world [...], the occurrence of some events, and some notion of causality [...], what facts are true once all the events

Aspects and Modular Reasoning in Nonmonotonic Logic

, 2008
Nonmonotonic logic is a branch of logic that has been developed to model situations with incomplete information. We argue that there is a connection between AOP and nonmonotonic logic which deserves further study. As a concrete technical contribution and

Competition and Collaboration in the AI Race: Country‐Level Directional Evidence for Risk Monitoring and Policy

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping national economies, yet country‐level AI–macro relationships remain poorly understood. Using annual data for the United States and China, 1980–2020, we develop a four‐layer triangulation framework—Pattern Causality, Granger causality, VECM‐based cointegration, and lead–lag correlation—to map ...
