Abstract

Logic programming with stable logic semantics (SLP) is a logical formalism that assigns to sets of clauses in the language admitting negations in the bodies a special kind of models, called stable models. This formalism does not have the compactness property. We show a number of conditions that entail a form of compactness for SLP.
