Current research in the area of nonmonotonic reasoning suggests that autoepistemic logic provides a general framework for formalizing commonsense reasoning in various domains of discourse. The goal of this paper is to investigate the suitability of autoepistemic logic for formalization of some forms of inheritance reasoning. To this end we propose a new semantics for inheritance networks with exceptions based on autoepistemic logic.

Representation systems based on inheritance networks are founded on the hierarchical structure of knowledge. Such representation is composed of a set of objects and a set of is-a links between nodes. Objects are generally defined by means of a set of properties. An inheritance mechanism enables us to share properties across the hierarchy, called an inheritance graph. It is often difficult, even impossible to define classes by means of a set of necessary and sufficient conditions. For this reason, exceptions must be allowed and they induce nonmonotonic reasoning. Many researchers have used default logic to give them formal semantics and to define sound inferences. In this paper, we propose a survey of the different models of nonmonotonic inheritance systems by means of default logic. A comparison between default theories and inheritance mechanisms is made. In conclusion, the ability of default logic to take some inheritance mechanisms into account is discussed.

AbstractWe produce an estimate for the K-Bessel function $$K_{r + i t}(y)$$ K r + i t ( y ) with positive, real argument y and of large complex order $$r+it$$ r + i t where r is bounded and $$t = y \sin \theta $$ t = y sin θ for a fixed parameter $$0\le \theta \le \pi /2$$ 0 ≤ θ ≤ π / 2 or $$t= y \cosh \mu $$ t = y cosh μ for a fixed parameter $$\mu >0$$ μ > 0 . In particular, we compute the dominant term of the asymptotic expansion of $$K_{r + i t}(y)$$ K r + i t ( y ) as $$y \rightarrow \infty $$ y → ∞ . When t and y are close (or equal), we also give a uniform estimate. As an application of these estimates, we give bounds on the weight-zero (real-analytic) Eisenstein series $$E_0^{(j)}(z, r+it)$$ E 0 ( j ) ( z , r + i t ) for each inequivalent cusp $$\kappa _j$$ κ j when $$1/2 \le r \le 3/2$$ 1 / 2 ≤ r ≤ 3 / 2 .
