Normal Form Results for Default Logic
In this paper we continue investigations of proof theory of default logic. It turns out that, similarly to classical logic, default theories can be represented in normal forms.

The Abnormality Predicate
We suggest a new representation of defeasible entailment and specificity in the framework of default logic. The representation is based on augmenting the underlying classical lan...

What Is a Skeptical Proof?
Abstract. We investigate the task of skeptically reasoning in extensionbased, nonmonotonic logics by concentrating on general argumentation theories. The restricted applicability o...

A Compilation of Brewka and Eiter's Approach to Prioritization
In previous work, we developed a framework for expressing general preference information in default logic and logic programming. Here we show that the approach of Brewka and Eiter ...

Aspects and modular reasoning in nonmonotonic logic
Nonmonotonic logic is a branch of logic that has been developed to model situations with incomplete information. We argue that there is a connection between AOP and nonmonotonic l...

Proof Complexity of Propositional Default Logic
Default logic is one of the most popular and successful formalisms for non-monotonic reasoning. In 2002, Bonatti and Olivetti introduced several sequent calculi for credulous and s...

Embedding Defaults into Terminological Knowledge Representation Formalisms
Abstract, We consider the problem of integrating Reiter's default logic into terminological representation systems. It turns out that such an integration is less straightforwa...

Reasoning by Cases without Contraposition in Default Logic
Default logic, one of the best known formalisms to express common sense reasoning, does not allow to reason by cases in its standard formulations. We propose a natural and easy way...

Power Defaults
This paper introduces power default reasoning (PDR), a framework for nonmonotonic reasoning based on the domain-theoretic idea of modeling default rules with partial-information i...

The Complexity of Model Checking for Propositional Default Logics
Abstract. Default logic is one of the most widely used formalisms to formalize commonsense reasoning. In this paper we analyze the complexity of deciding whether a propositional in...
