The Semantics of Constraint Logic Programs

TL;DR: In this paper, the semantic foundations of Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) are presented in a self-contained and complete package, including definitions and basic semantic constructs from first principles, giving new and complete proofs for the main lemmas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Propositional defeasible logic has linear complexity

TL;DR: Defeasible logic as discussed by the authors is a non-monotonic logic with both strict and defeasible rules and a priority relation on rules, and it is shown that inference in the propositional form can be performed in linear time.

Equivalences of logic programs

TL;DR: In this article, identical equivalences based upon functional semantics [P] and logical consequences of P allow the application of two different and powerful tools to reason about programs, in particular, these equivalences seem ideal for discussing the deductive structure of such deductive databases.
Book ChapterDOI

Chapter 15 – Unification Revisited

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive presentation of an elementary theory of unification is presented, and new results are obtained related to the notions of equation solving, most specific generalization, and constraint solving.
