    Notes: Abstract We propose a framework of autoepistemic reasoning in which the underlying semantics is determined by the choice of a nonmonotonic inference mechanism and by specifying abelief constraint. While the latter makes the approach flexible in meeting possibly different applications, the former links the resulting semantics to a nonmonotonic reasoning formalism and thus allows adoption of existing techniques. In this paper we choosecircumscription as the underlying inference mechanism and use two different belief constraints to define two semantics,the stable circumscriptive semantics andthe well-founded circumscriptive semantics, for autoepistemic theories. The former coincides with Moore's autoepistemic logic for logic programs and is arguably more desirable in handling disjunctive autoepistemic theories. The latter is a reconstruction and extension of Przymusinski's iterative method for computing the leastAEL(circ) expansions for logic programs. We show that for logic programs the two construction methods coincide. However, while Przymusinski's construction method is restricted to logic programs only, the well-founded circumscriptive semantics is applicable to more general autoepistemic theories.

    Notes: Abstract We study the expressive power of first-order autoepistemic logic. We argue that full introspection of rational agents should be carried out by minimizing positive introspection and maximizing negative introspection. Based on full introspection, we propose the maximal well-founded semantics that characterizes autoepistemic reasoning processes of rational agents, and show that breadth of the semantics covers all theories in autoepistemic logic of first order, Moore's AE logic, and Reiter's default logic. Our study demonstrates that the autoepistemic logic of first order is a very powerful framework for nonmonotonic reasoning, logic programming, deductive databases, and knowledge representation.
