چکیده
While the solution counting problem for propositional satisfiability (#SAT) has received renewed attention in recent years, this research trend has not affected other AI solving paradigms like answer set programming (ASP). Although ASP solvers are designed to enumerate all solutions, and counting can therefore be easily done, the involved materialization of all solutions is a clear bottleneck for the counting problem of ASP (#ASP). In this paper we propose dynamic programming-based #ASP algorithms that exploit the structure of the underlying (ground) ASP program. Experimental results for a prototype implementation show promise when compared to existing solvers.

Answer Set Solving with Bounded Treewidth Revisited Author=Johannes K. Fichte, Markus Hecher, Michael Morak, Stefan Woltran
Parameterized algorithms are a way to solve hard problems more efficiently, given that a specific parameter of the input is small. In this paper, we apply this idea to the field of answer set programming (ASP). To this end, we propose two kinds of graph representations of programs to exploit their treewidth as a parameter. Treewidth roughly measures to which extent the internal structure of a p...

متن کاملDynASP2.5: Dynamic Programming on Tree Decompositions in Action
A vibrant theoretical research area are efficient exact parameterized algorithms. Very recent solving competitions such as the PACE challenge show that there is also increasing practical interest in the parameterized algorithms community. An important research question is whether dedicated parameterized exact algorithms exhibit certain practical relevance and one can even beat well-established ...
متن کاملA Dynamic-Programming Based ASP-Solver
We present a novel system for propositional Answer-Set Programming (ASP). This system, called dynASP, is based on dynamic programming and thus significantly differs from standard ASP-solvers which implement techniques stemming from SAT or CSP.
متن کاملD-FLAT2: Subset Minimization in Dynamic Programming on Tree Decompositions Made Easy
Many problems from the area of AI have been shown tractable for bounded treewidth. In order to put such results into practice, quite involved dynamic programming (DP) algorithms on tree decompositions have to be designed and implemented. These algorithms typically show recurring patterns that call for tasks like subset minimization. In this paper we present a novel approach to obtain such DP al...
