چکیده

Ontology consistency has been shown to be undecidable for a wide variety of fairly inexpressive fuzzy Description Logics (DLs). In particular, for any t-norm “starting with” the Lukasiewicz t-norm, consistency of crisp ontologies (w.r.t. witnessed models) is undecidable in any fuzzy DL with conjunction, existential restrictions, and (residual) negation. In this paper we show that for any t-norm with Gödel negation, that is, any t-norm not starting with Lukasiewicz, ontology consistency for a variant of fuzzy SHOI is linearly reducible to crisp reasoning, and hence decidable in exponential time. Our results hold even if reasoning is not restricted to the class of witnessed models only.

Non-Gödel Negation Makes Unwitnessed Consistency Undecidable

Recent results show that ontology consistency is undecidable for a wide variety of fuzzy Description Logics (DLs). Most notably, undecidability arises for a family of inexpressive fuzzy DLs using only conjunction, existential restrictions, and residual negation, even if the ontology itself is crisp. All those results depend on restricting reasoning to witnessed models. In this paper, we show th...

Tractability of the Crisp Representations of Tractable Fuzzy Description Logics

An important line of research within the field of fuzzy DLs is the computation of an equivalent crisp representation of a fuzzy ontology. In this short paper, we discuss the relation between tractable fuzzy DLs and tractable crisp representations. This relation heavily depends on the family of fuzzy operators considered. Introduction. Despite the undisputed success of ontologies, classical onto...

GCIs Make Reasoning in Fuzzy DL with the Product T-norm Undecidable

Fuzzy variants of Description Logics (DLs) were introduced in order to deal with applications where not all concepts can be defined in a precise way. A great variety of fuzzy DLs have been investigated in the literature [12,8]. In fact, compared to crisp DLs, fuzzy DLs offer an additional degree of freedom when defining their expressiveness: in addition to deciding which concept constructors (l...

Residuated fuzzy logics with an involutive negation

Residuated fuzzy logic calculi are related to continuous t-norms, which are used as truth functions for conjunction, and their residua as truth functions for implication. In these logics, a negation is also definable from the implication and the truth constant 0, namely ¬φ isφ → 0. However, this negation behaves quite differently depending on the t-norm. For a nilpotent t-norm (a t-norm which i...

Truth Values and Connectives in Some Non-Classical Logics

The question as to whether the propositional logic of Heyting, which was a formalization of Brouwer's intuitionistic logic, is finitely many valued or not, was open for a while (the question was asked by Hahn). Kurt Gödel (1932) introduced an infinite decreasing chain of intermediate logics, which are known nowadays as Gödel logics, for showing that the intuitionistic logic is not finitely (man...
