More Information
Summary:Covering the authors' own state-of-the-art research results, this book presents a rigorous, modern account of the mathematical methods and tools required for the semantic analysis of logic programs. It significantly extends the tools and methods from traditional order theory to include nonconventional methods from mathematical analysis that depend on topology, domain theory, generalized distance functions, and associated fixed-point theory. The authors closely examine the interrelationships between various semantics as well as the integration of logic programming and connectionist systems/neural networks.

Summary: "Presenting the methods required to study the semantics of logic programs, this book significantly extends these tools from the order theory traditionally used in the subject to include nontraditional methods depending on topology, generalized distance functions, and their associated fixed-point theory. The authors provide a self-contained, detailed overview of the development of both conventional and nonconventional methods and techniques, fulfilling a significant gap in the literature on theoretical computer science. They examine the interaction between logic programming and connectionist systems from the point of view of semantics"--Provided by publisher
