摘要:

作为定量集合论推理的一个贡献,提出了一个翻译的形式$x=y\setminus z$,$x \neq y\setminus z$,和$z =\{x\}$,其中$x,y,z$代表的变量范围在冯诺依曼宇宙的集合,到一个相当简单的合取范式的未量化的布尔公式的文字的合取。目标语言中的公式涉及布尔集合环上的变量,以及表示相等、不相交和包含的差分运算符和关系符。此外,每个翻译的结果是形式为$x=y\setminus z$、$x\neq y\setminus z$的文字的合取,以及其前因是孤立文字且其后因是变量之间的包含(严格或非严格)或变量之间的等式的蕴涵的合取。除了反映了一个简单和自然的语义,这确保可满足性保存,建议的翻译具有二次算法的时间复杂度,和桥梁两种语言都是已知的NP完全可满足性问题。

英文摘要:

As a contribution to quantitative set-theoretic inferencing, a translation is proposed of conjunctions of literals of the forms $x=y\setminus z$, $x \neq y\setminus z$, and $z =\{x\}$, where $x,y,z$ stand for variables ranging over the von Neumann universe of sets, into unquantified Boolean formulae of a rather simple conjunctive normal form. The formulae in the target language involve variables ranging over a Boolean ring of sets, along with a difference operator and relators designating equality, non-disjointness and inclusion. Moreover, the result of each translation is a conjunction of literals of the forms $x=y\setminus z$, $x\neq y\setminus z$ and of implications whose antecedents are isolated literals and whose consequents are either inclusions (strict or non-strict) between variables, or equalities between variables. Besides reflecting a simple and natural semantics, which ensures satisfiability-preservation, the proposed translation has quadratic algorithmic time-complexity, and bridges two languages both of which are known to have an NP-complete satisfiability problem.
