Immediate consequences operator on generalized quantifiers

Abstract

The semantics of a multi-adjoint logic program is usually defined through the immediate consequences operator TP. However, the definition of the immediate consequences operator as the supremum of a set of values can provide some problem when imprecise datasets are considered, due to the strict feature of the supremum operator. Hence, based on the flexibility of generalized quantifiers to weaken the existential feature of the supremum operator, this paper presents a generalization of the immediate consequences operator with interesting properties for solving the aforementioned problem. © 2022 The Author(s)
