This can be expressed in predicate logic as: − “For all situations s, if p is true in situation s, then q is also true in situation s” − Formally, we could write: ∀s, P(s) → Q(s) This sentence is logically False in our example, because for me to wear a red shirt and the U.S. not to attack Iraq is a ...

Propositional Proof Complexity An Introduction
... There is related notion of implicational completeness: Write φ |= ψ if for every truth assignment ~a to variables occurring in φ and/or ψ , ~a |= φ ⇒ ~a |= ψ . Write φ ` ψ if adding φ as an axiom would allow one to construct a proof of ψ . (Note that neither φ or ψ need be valid by themselves.) Then ...

A Well-Founded Semantics for Logic Programs with Abstract
... While ASP assumes that solutions are given by answer sets, well-founded models (Van Gelder, Ross, and Schlipf 1991) have been found to be very useful as well. First, computing the well-founded model of a normal logic program is tractable. This compares to the NP-completeness of computing an answer s ...
