Abstract
Theory of stable models is the mathematical basis of answer set programming. Several results in that theory refer to the concept of the positive dependency graph of a logic program. We describe a modification of that concept and show that the new understanding of positive dependency makes it possible to strengthen some of these results.
期刊介绍:
Theory and Practice of Logic Programming emphasises both the theory and practice of logic programming. Logic programming applies to all areas of artificial intelligence and computer science and is fundamental to them. Among the topics covered are AI applications that use logic programming, logic programming methodologies, specification, analysis and verification of systems, inductive logic programming, multi-relational data mining, natural language processing, knowledge representation, non-monotonic reasoning, semantic web reasoning, databases, implementations and architectures and constraint logic programming.
