Abstract

A way of producing beliefs in non-monotonic systems, called Plausible World Assumption (PWA), is presented. PWA has certain advantages compared to Negation as Failure, CWA, GCWA. The PWA provides beliefs for all atoms of the Herbrand base of a given system leaving no one of them undefined. Most of the assumptions agree with the majority of the system models , and so have a good chance to be approved by the reality. We study a notion of relative monotonicity, and show that under PWA a system possesses a high degree of this desirable feature in the sense that most of its beliefs are not affected by any change of other ones.
