Computing and Comparing Semantics of Programs in Multi-valued Logics

چکیده
The different semantics that can be assigned to a logic program correspond to different assumptions made concerning the atoms whose logical values cannot be inferred from the rules. Thus, the well founded semantics corresponds to the assumption that every such atom is false, while the Kripke-Kleene semantics corresponds to the assumption that every such atom is unknown. In this paper, we propose to unify and extend this assumption-based approach by introducing parameterized semantics for logic programs. The parameter holds the value that one assumes for all atoms whose logical values cannot be inferred from the rules. We work within multi-valued logic with bilattice structure, and we consider the class of logic programs defined by Fitting. Following Fitting’s approach, we define a simple operator that allows us to compute the parameterized semantics, and to compare and combine semantics obtained for different values of the parameter. The semantics proposed by Fitting corresponds to the value false. We also show that our approach captures and extends the usual semantics of conventional logic programs thereby unifying their computation.

Truth Values and Connectives in Some Non-Classical Logics
The question as to whether the propositional logic of Heyting, which was a formalization of Brouwer's intuitionistic logic, is finitely many valued or not, was open for a while (the question was asked by Hahn). Kurt Gödel (1932) introduced an infinite decreasing chain of intermediate logics, which are known nowadays as Gödel logics, for showing that the intuitionistic logic is not finitely (man...
متن کاملReduction of Many-valued into Two-valued Modal Logics
In this paper we develop a 2-valued reduction of many-valued logics, into 2-valued multi-modal logics. Such an approach is based on the contextualization of many-valued logics with the introduction of higher-order Herbrand interpretation types, where we explicitly introduce the coexistence of a set of algebraic truth values of original many-valued logic, transformed as parameters (or possible w...
متن کاملMany-Valued First-Order Logics with Probabilistic Semantics
We present n-valued rst-order logics with a purely proba-bilistic semantics. We then introduce a new probabilistic semantics of n-valued rst-order logics that lies between the purely probabilistic semantics and the truth-functional semantics of the n-valued Lukasiewicz logics Ln. Within this semantics, closed formulas of classical rst-order logics that are logically equivalent in the classical ...
متن کاملParaconsistent Stable Semantics for Extended Disjunctive Programs
This paper presents declarative semantics of possibly inconsistent disjunctive logic programs. We introduce the paraconsistent minimal and stable model semantics for extended disjunctive programs, which can distinguish inconsistent information from others in a program. These semantics are based on lattice-structured multi-valued logics, and are characterized by a new xpoint semantics of extende...
