  • More about R-CALCULUS: A Logic of Belief Revision


This book introduces new models based on R-calculus and theories of belief revision for dealing with large and changing data,extending it to propositional logic,description logics,modal logic,and logic programming. It also provides an approximate R-calculus and applications to default theory and semantic inheritance networks. It is suitable for students, researchers, and practitioners in logic, data, digitization, correctness, and consistency of information.

Format: Paperback / softback

This comprehensive book presents groundbreaking models and theories for dealing with large and dynamic data. By extending the R-calculus from first-order logic to propositional logic, description logics, modal logic, and logic programming, it encompasses a wide range of formalisms. Moreover, it introduces novel minimal change semantics, including subset minimal change, pseudo-subformula minimal change, and deduction-based minimal change, which are newly defined. The book provides soundness and completeness theorems for these logics, ensuring their computational feasibility.

To facilitate practical applications, an approximate R-calculus is introduced, employing the finite injury priority method in recursion theory. Furthermore, two practical applications of R-calculus are demonstrated: default theory and semantic inheritance networks.

This book serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of logic. Its interdisciplinary nature makes it particularly useful for individuals interested in data, digitization, correctness, and consistency of information, modal logics, non-monotonic logics, decidable/undecidable logics, logic programming, description logics, default logics, and semantic inheritance networks. The rich blend of theory and practice presented in this book ensures its appeal to a broad audience.
