Hex Semantics via Approximation Fixpoint Theory

C Antić, T Eiter, M Fink - International Conference on Logic Programming …, 2013 - Springer
Abstract Approximation Fixpoint Theory (AFT) is an algebraic framework for studying
fixpoints of possibly nonmonotone lattice operators, and thus extends the fixpoint theory of …

Sequential composition of answer set programs

C Antić - arxiv preprint arxiv:2104.12156, 2021 - arxiv.org
This paper introduces the sequential composition of answer set programs. On the semantic
side, we show that the immediate consequence operator of a program can be represented …

Approximation fixpoint theory and the well-founded semantics of higher-order logic programs

A Charalambidis, P Rondogiannis… - Theory and Practice of …, 2018 - cambridge.org
We define a novel, extensional, three-valued semantics for higher-order logic programs with
negation. The new semantics is based on interpreting the types of the source language as …

[HTML][HTML] Fixpoint semantics for active integrity constraints

B Bogaerts, L Cruz-Filipe - Artificial Intelligence, 2018 - Elsevier
Active integrity constraints (AICs) constitute a formalism to associate with a database not just
the constraints it should adhere to, but also how to fix the database in case one or more of …

Stratification in approximation fixpoint theory and its application to active integrity constraints

B Bogaerts, L Cruz-Filipe - ACM Transactions on Computational Logic …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
Approximation fixpoint theory (AFT) is an algebraic study of fixpoints of lattice operators that
unifies various knowledge representation formalisms. In AFT, stratification of operators has …
