Solving logic program conflict through strong and weak forgettings
We consider how to forget a set of atoms in a logic program. Intuitively, when a set of atoms is forgotten from a logic program, all atoms in the set should be eliminated from thi...

On the computational complexity of coalitional resource games
We study Coalitional Resource Games (CRGs), a variation of Qualitative Coalitional Games (QCGs) in which each agent is endowed with a set of resources, and the ability of a coalit...

Is real-valued minimax pathological?
Deeper searches in game-playing programs relying on the minimax principle generally produce better results. Theoretical analyses, however, suggest that in many cases minimaxing am...
