Update with Disjunctive Information: From Syntactical and Semantical Perspectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possible models approach (PMA) is a classical minimal change semantics for knowledge base update, which provides an exclusive interpretation for disjunctive information in update. It has been recognized that the exclusive interpretation for disjunction may be problematic under some circumstances. In this paper, we investigate inclusive interpretations for disjunctions in update from both syntactical and semantical viewpoints. In particular, we propose two approaches for disjunctive update { the minimal change with exceptions (MCE) and the minimal change with maximal disjunctive inclusions (MCD). Both approaches provide inclusive interpretations for disjunctions in update, while the rst one is syntax-based and the second is model-theoretic. We then characterize the MCE and MCD in terms of alternative minimal change criteria and relate them to traditional Katsuno and Mendelzon's update postulates.

متن کاملReflective Autoepistemic Logic and Logic Programming
In this paper we show that reflexive autoepistemic logic of Schwarz is a particularly convenient modal formalism for studying properties of answer sets for logic programs with classical negation and disjunctive logic programs. Syntactical properties of logic programs imply that a natural interpretation of default logic in the logic of minimal knowledge (nonmonotonic S4F) provides also a modal r...
متن کاملSemantical Considerations for Knowledge Base Updates
Recent research has shown that under some circumstances, the conventional minimal change methods were inappropriate for updating knowledge bases with disjunctive eeects. In this paper we propose a new method for the knowledge base update based on a persistence principle , which provides conservative results for updating knowledge bases with implicit and disjunctive eeects. As it will be shown, ...
متن کاملExistential Vs Preserved by Extensions, and Other Syntax/semantics Correspondences
We look at various preservation theorems of classical logic ((rst of all, Los-Tarski theorem) which fail in the context of nite models , and examine the extent of their failure. In some cases, even if the old correspondence between syntactical and semantical properties does not hold, one can nd a new semantical counterpart for the syntacti-cal property, and vice versa-a new syntactical counterp...
