A Procedural Semantics for Well Founded Negation in Logic Programs
Summary: Global SLS-resolution: a procedural semantics extending Przymusinski's SLS to realize Van Gelder et al.'s well-founded negation for arbitrary, nonstratified logic programs. Introduces global trees to record negative-subgoal dependencies; proves soundness w.r.t. the well-founded semantics and completeness for non-floundering queries.
