Paraconsistent Preferential Reasoning by Signed Quantified Boolean Formulae

Ofer Arieli

We introduce a uniform approach of representing a variety of paraconsistent non-monotonic formalisms by quantified Boolean formulae (QBFs) in the context of four-valued semantics. This framework provides a useful platform for capturing, in a simple and natural way, wide range of methods for preferential reasoning. Off-the-shelf QBF solvers may therefore be incorporated for simulating the corresponding consequence relations.

Keywords: paraconsistent and preferential reasoning, quantified Boolean formulae, multiple-valued logics
