Abstract

This paper describes a system called SELP for studying strong equivalence in answer set logic programming. The basic function of the system is to check if two given ground disjunctive logic programs are equivalent, and if not, return a counter-example. We have used the system to discover some interesting theorems about strong equivalence [Lin and Chen, 2005]. Here we briefly describe how the system can be used to find out whether a given set of rules is strongly equivalent to another, perhaps simpler set of rules.
