ABSTRACT. This paper investigates the problem of finding subclasses of nonmonotonic reasoning which can be implemented efficiently. The ability to "define" propositions u...
Circumscription is one of the most important formalisms for reasoning with incomplete information. It is equivalent to reasoning under the extended closed world assumption, which a...
The problem of global solution of Fredholm integral equations is studied. This means that one seeks to approximate the full solution function (as opposed to the local problem, whe...
Normal surface theory is a central tool in algorithmic threedimensional topology, and the enumeration of vertex normal surfaces is the computational bottleneck in many important a...
Most of the existing active learning algorithms are based on the realizability assumption: The learner’s hypothesis class is assumed to contain a target function that perfectly c...
