Minimum and Maximum Predicates in Logic Programming
Summary: Introduce min/max predicates with first-order semantics via rules with negation to declaratively express optimization problems (e.g., shortest path). Under monotonicity they ensure a total well-founded model computable via a greedy fixpoint and a rewrite that pushes min/max into recursion, yielding Dijkstra-like evaluation.
