Abstract

We investigate in this paper the relationship between an ambiguity propagating defeasible logic recently proposed by Antoniou et al. [3] and well-founded semantics with priorities [6] under a straightforward translation from defeasible theories to extended logic programs. It turns out that a slightly restricted version of defeasible logic is correct wrt well-founded semantics yet incomplete. We also investigate the sources of the incompleteness and argue that the additional conclusions obtained by prioritized well-founded semantics are indeed desired.
