Defeasible Inclusions in Low-Complexity DLs: Preliminary Notes

Abstract

We analyze the complexity of reasoning with circumscribed low-complexity DLs such as DL-lite and the EL family, under suitable restrictions on the use of abnormality predicates. We prove that in circumscribed DL-lite$_{R}$ complexity drops from NExp$^{NP}$ to the second level of the polynomial hierarchy. In EL, reasoning remains ExpTime-hard, in general. However, by restricting the possible occurrences of existential restrictions, we obtain membership in Sigma$^{p$_2$}$ and Pi$^{p$_2$}$ for an extension of EL. Piero A.
