In science:
Hence, we below encode potential counterexamples, i.e., answer sets of extended programs, and (non-)dominance of a candidate answer set in disjunctive ASP without taking advantage of default negation (used in meta.lp).
Complex Optimization in Answer Set Programming
When considering the encoding part in Listing 3 in isolation, it like meta.lp describes answer sets of a reified program, and bot is derived only if there is no such answer set.
Complex Optimization in Answer Set Programming
Along with saturation (in metaD.lp), this implies that a candidate answer set (constructed via the rules in meta.lp) is accepted only if there is no dominating counterexample, thus selecting exactly the optimal answer sets of an input program.
Complex Optimization in Answer Set Programming
Computing preferred answer sets by meta-interpretation in answer set programming.
