A fixpoint semantics for reasoning about finite failure

From MaRDI portal





The semantic of negation in logic programming has received a considerable attention in the last few years and is still an active research area. This paper contributes to this field by considering the semantics of finite failure. The result obtained here shows that one can obtain a fixpoint characterization of the set of atoms having a fair finitely failed SLD-tree. The proof uses in a nice way abstract interpretation techniques, thus showing that these techniques can be useful also outside the area of static analysis. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0921.00037].
