Abstract

In this paper we introduce and study a nonmonotonic logic to reason about various kinds of preferences. We introduce preference types to choose among these kinds of preferences, based on an agent interpretation. We study ways to calculate “distinguished” preference orders from preferences, and show when these distinguished preference orders are unique. We define algorithms to calculate the distinguished preference orders.
