Preferential Role Restrictions
We extend ALC with preferential role restrictions as concept constructors, and argue that preferential universal restriction represents a defeasible version of standard universal restriction. The resulting DL is more expressive without adding to the complexity of TBox reasoning. We present a tableau system to compute TBox entailment, show that this notion of entailment is not sufficient when ad...
متن کاملOn Fixed Points of Strictly Causal Functions
We ask whether strictly causal components form well defined systems when arranged in feedback configurations. The standard interpretation for such configurations induces a fixed-point constraint on the function modelling the component involved. We define strictly causal functions formally, and show that the corresponding fixed-point problem does not always have a well defined solution. We exami...
متن کاملON RESTRICTIONS OF FUNCTIONS IN THE SPACES Pa'p AND Ba'p
In this note we give a generalization of a result of Aronszajn and Smith [l] concerning sections of exceptional sets for the spaces of Bessel potentials on Rn of L2 functions and restrictions of functions in these spaces. For the sake of completeness we recall briefly the relevant definitions and theorems. We refer for details to [2]. Throughout this paper we will be concerned with functions de...
متن کاملImposing Restrictions on Density Functions Utilised in Computing with Words
Applying the generalised extension principle within the area of Computing with Words typically leads to complex maximisation problems. If distributed quantities—such as, e.g., size distributions within human populations—are considered, density functions representing these distributions become involved. Very often the optimising density functions do not resemble those found in nature; for instan...
متن کاملSet estimation of linear causal effects using relative correlation restrictions∗
This paper describes and implements a simple and relatively conservative approach to the most common problem in applied microeconometrics: estimating a linear causal effect when the explanatory variable of interest might be correlated with relevant unobserved variables. The main idea is to use the sample correlation between the variable of interest and observed control variables to suggest a ra...
