We present a decidable class of first-order formulas in the general theory of stable models that can be instantiated even in the presence of function constants. The notion of an ...
Circumscription and logic programs under the stable model semantics are two wellknown nonmonotonic formalisms. The former has served as a basis of classical logic based action for...
Abstract. The automata-based model checking approach for randomized distributed systems relies on an operational interleaving semantics of the system by means of a Markov decision ...
We consider spatial databases that can be defined in terms of polynomial inequalities, and we are interested in monotonic transformations of spatial databases. We investigate a hi...
