Abstract

In abstract frameworks with varied strength attacks (AFV), arguments may attack each other with different strength. An admissible scenario is an admissible set of arguments fulfilling certain strength conditions about defences. In this work we analyze the computational complexity of some decision problems related to the quality of admissible scenarios: checking the property of being top-admissible and the property of being equilibrated. These problems are implying an exhaustive comparison between scenarios, and both of them are shown to be coNP-complete.
