We show in this paper a special extended logic, partition logic based on so called partition quantifiers, is able to capture some important complexity classes NP, P and NL by its ...
We formally characterize alternating fixed points of boolean equation systems as models of (propositional) normal logic programs. To this end, we introduce the notion of a preferr...

Abstract. Deforestation is a well-known program transformation technique which eliminates intermediate data structures that are passed between functions. One of its weaknesses is t...
Schlipf (Sch95) proved that Stable Logic Programming (SLP) solves all NP decision problems. We extend Schlipf’s result to prove that SLP solves all search problems in the class ...
We provide a general method for ameliorating state explosion via symmetry reduction in certain asymmetric systems, such as systems with many similar, but not identical, processes....
