Extending Classical Logic with Inductive Definitions

Logic in Computer Science 2009-09-25 v1 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to extend classical logic with a generalized notion of inductive definition supporting positive and negative induction, to investigate the properties of this logic, its relationships to other logics in the area of non-monotonic reasoning, logic programming and deductive databases, and to show its application for knowledge representation by giving a typology of definitional knowledge.
