Finite Satisfiability of Unary Negation Fragment with Transitivity

Authors: Daniel Danielski and Emanuel Kieroński

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 138, 44th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2019)

Abstract

We show that the finite satisfiability problem for the unary negation fragment with an arbitrary number of transitive relations is decidable and 2-ExpTime-complete. Our result actually holds for a more general setting in which one can require that some binary symbols are interpreted as arbitrary transitive relations, some as partial orders and some as equivalences. We also consider finite satisfiability of various extensions of our primary logic, in particular capturing the concepts of nominals and role hierarchies known from description logic. As the unary negation fragment can express unions of conjunctive queries, our results have interesting implications for the problem of finite query answering, both in the classical scenario and in the description logics setting.
