An exponential lower bound on the circuit complexity of deciding the weak monadic second-order theory of one successor (WS1S) is proved. Circuits are built from binary operations, ...
We describe an algorithm for deciding the first-order multisorted theory BAPA, which combines 1) Boolean algebras of sets of uninterpreted elements (BA) and 2) Presburger arithmeti...
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...

We describe some results inspired to Lafont's Soft Linear Logic (SLL) which is a subsystem of second-order linear logic with restricted rules for exponentials, correct and co...

Abduction is an important method of non-monotonic reasoning with many applications in artificial intelligence and related topics. In this paper, we concentrate on propositional ab...
