Abstract:
Brewka's framework for default logic is extended such that this new framework is possessed of more powerful expressivity when reasoning by cases. Under this extended framework a characterization of extensions of a default theory is given. From this characterization the algorithms for main reasoning tasks in default logic with case reasoning are derived.
