Combining Logic Programming with Fixed-Point Definitions with Game Semantics.
Keehang Kwon · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2015
Logic programming with fixed-point definitions is a useful extension of traditional logic programming. Fixed-point definitions can capture simple model checking problems and closed-world assumptions. Its operational semantics is typically based on intuitionistic provability. We extend the operational semantics of these languages with game semantics. This extended semantics has several interesting aspects: in particular, it gives a logical status to the $read$ predicate.
