Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In computing circumscription by logic programming, circumscription is usually transformed into some target logic program whose answer sets yield the Herbrand models of circumscription. In this paper, we propose a new method of computing models of prioritized circumscription in answer set programming, which is correct and more efficient than previous approaches. The basic idea of our approach is to transform a given circumscription into a general extended disjunctive program whose answer sets (if exist) yield strictly preferred models to a given candidate model with respect to the preorder≦P^1>・・・>P^k;Z. Hence its inconsistency enables us to determine models of prioritized circumscription. We also show the soundness and completeness theorems for our method. Based on our new method, a circumscriptive model generator has already been implemented, and the preliminary experimental results are encouraging.
