Abstract: We present a very general technique for defining semantics for programs that use aggregation. We use the technique to extend the well-founded semantics and the valid semantics, both of which were designed to provide semantics for programs with negation, to handle programs that contain possibly recursive use of aggregation. The generalization is based on a simple but powerful idea of aggregation on three-valued multisets. The use of three-valued multisets makes our extended well-founded... (Update)

.... years there has been considerable interest in the topic of aggregation in logic programming and deductive databases [MPR90, KS91, RS92, V92, GSZ93, SSRB93]. An aggregate operation is a function that maps a set to some value, e.g. the maximum or minimum in the set, the...
...of all its members, etc. This has been a topic of considerable interest in the deductive database literature recently [8, 17, 21, 31, 32, 34]. In considering the problems with various semantic approaches, Van Gelder notes that, for many applications in which the use of...
