Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "In [GL90], M. Gelfond and V. Lifschitz proposed to extend general logic programs to so-called extended logic programs, by adding strong negation. They proposed answer sets as a semantics for these programs. However, this semantics uses the notion of global consistency. The necessity of testing for global consistency makes finding a proof for a specific query w.r.t. a program as hard as finding a complete answer set for that program. In this paper, we abandon the idea of preserving global consistency and propose a modified transformation from extended logic programs to general logic programs, based on a semantics in which only local consistency is preserved
We use the notion of conservative derivability, as defined by G. Wagner in [Wag91], as a proof-theoretic semantics for extended logic programs, and show that the three-valued completion semantics of a transformed program is sound and complete with respect to conservative derivability in the original extended logic program. As a result, we can use any proof procedure for general logic programs that is sound with respect to completion semantics, to answer queries with respect to extended logic programs. We illustrate our proof procedure by using it to prove queries with respect to an extended logic program discussed in [GL90].
