Abstract

We present results about the logical consequence test under classical logic w.r.t. the Theory of Parameterized Complexity and Computation [1]. We show how a normal logic program P can partitioned in subset of clauses such that we can define an algorithm proving sets of atoms which complexity is bounded by a relation exponential in terms of a fixed parameter k and polynomial on the original size of the problem, namely the size of P . As example of application we study the model checking problem w.r.t. the P-Stable semantics.
