Abstract

AbstractWe equip ordered logic programs with negation as failure, using a simple generalization of the preferred answer set semantics for ordered programs. This extension supports a convenient formulation of certain problems, which is illustrated by means of an intuitive simulation of logic programming with ordered disjunction. The simulation also supports a broader application of “ordered disjunction”, handling problems that would be cumbersome to express using ordered disjunction logic programs.Interestingly, allowing negation as failure in ordered logic programs does not yield any extra computational power: the combination of negation as failure and order can be simulated using order (and true negation) alone.KeywordsLogic ProgramLogic ProgrammingSimple ProgramDisjunctive ProgramStable Model SemanticThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
