Abstract
Multi-adjoint logic programs has been recently introduced [9], [10] as a generalization of monotonic logic programs [2], [3], in that simultaneous use of several implications in the rules and rather general connectives in the bodies are allowed.
This paper discusses abductive reasoning-that is, reasoning in which explanatory hypotheses are formed and evaluated. To model uncertainty in human cognition and real world applications; we use multi-adjoint logic programming to introduce and study a model of abduction problem.
