Abstract

Circumscription is one of the most important and well studied formalisms in the realm of nonmonotonic reasoning. The inference problem for prepositional circumscription has been extensively studied from the viewpoint of computational complexity. We prove that there exists a trichotomy for the complexity of the inference problem in prepositional variable circumscription. More specifically we prove that every restricted case of the problem is either Π2P-complete, coNP-complete, or in P. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
