Tableau Calculi for Preference-Based Conditional Logics

  • Conference paper
Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2003)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 2796))

Abstract

In this paper we develop labelled and uniform tableau methods for some fundamental system of propositional conditional logics. We consider the well-known system CE (that can be seen as a generalization of preferential nonmonotonic logic), and some related systems. Our tableau proof procedures are based on a possible-worlds structures endowed with a family of preference relations. The tableau procedure gives the first practical decision procedure for CE.
