Abstract

Linear Logic and Defeasible Logic have been adopted to formalise different features of knowledge representation: consumption of resources and reasoning with exceptions. We propose a framework to combine sub-structural features, corresponding to the consumption of resources, with defeasibility aspects to handle potentially conflicting information, and we discuss the design choices.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Trivially, e.g., if literal a has been derived twice, but it appears in the antecedent of three rules, only two of such rules can produce their conclusions.

  2. 2.

    The atomic propositions are the nodes, and there is a directed edge between nodes if there is a rule containing the source or its negation in the body, and the target or its negation in the head.
