Evidential-Based Higher-Order Set Argumentation Framework

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces the Evidential-Based Higher-Order Set Argumentation Framework (EHSAF), a unified formalism that extends Dung’s abstract argumentation by incorporating evidential support, higher-order relations, and collective interactions. Two complete semantics are defined: an adjacent complete labelling semantics allowing multiple truth values for arguments in support cycles, and an extension-based complete semantics that accepts only well‑founded support chains. The authors provide a propositional encoding in three‑valued Łukasiewicz logic and extend it to continuous fuzzy logics, proving key properties and showing equivalence under support‑acyclicity.

Standpoint Logics with Defeasible Beliefs

arXiv:2606. 08503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we integrate the defeasible logic of Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor (KLM) with the standpoint logic framework of G\'omez \'Alvarez and Rudolph.

Provenance-Enhanced Statements in Knowledge Graphs

arXiv:2606. 15246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Provenance-enhanced statements of the form "according to $X$, $\varphi$" are pervasive in contemporary knowledge graphs, especially in domains where graph content primarily represents claims, interpretations, and hypotheses (\emph{capta}) rather than observer-independent facts (\emph{data}).

Monadic Second-Order Logic in HOL: Deep and Shallow with Automated Faithfulness (Extended Preprint)

The paper presents three Isabelle/HOL embeddings of monadic second‑order logic (MSO): a deep embedding, a maximal‑shallow embedding, and a minimal‑shallow embedding that collapses formulas to bool. It introduces a two‑sorted substitution system that ensures capture‑avoiding substitution and proves the faithfulness of all embeddings. A fully mechanised two‑sorted downward Löwenheim‑Skolem theorem is established, showing that the minimal embedding recovers deep validity relative to countable assignments and aligns with both the general (Henkin‑style) and standard readings of MSO, while also demonstrating differences in classical MSO properties across the embeddings.
