In [7] Maria I. Sessa extended the SLD resolution principle with the ability of performing approximate reasoning and flexible query answering. The operational mechanism of similar...
Abstract. Pruning operators, such as cut, are important to develop efficient logic programs as they allow programmers to reduce the search space and thus discard unnecessary compu...
This paper describes a method for proving termination of to logic programs based on abstract interpretation. The method ry-mapping pairs to abstract the relation between calls in t...

We introduce a general framework that is based on distance semantics and investigate the main properties of the entailment relations that it induces. It is shown that such entailm...
The foundations of a class of logic programming systems with the expressive power of full first-order logic and a non-monotonic component is addressed. The underlying refutation m...
