A definition of nonstandard universe which gets over the limitation to the finite levels of the cumulative hierarchy is proposed. Though necessarily nonwellfounded, nonstandard ...
A chain of a set P of n points in the plane is a chain of the dominance order on P. A k-chain is a subset C of P that can be covered by k chains. A k-chain C is a maximum k-chain ...
This paper investigates a new approach for computing the inference of defeasible logic. The algorithm proposed can substantially reduced the theory size increase due to transformat...
In the present paper we use the approach of height functions to de ning a semi-distance measure between Horn clauses. This appraoch is already discussed elsewhere in the framework ...
—The methodologies to calculate failure probability and to estimate the reliability of fatigue loaded structures are developed. The applicability of the methodologies is evaluate...
