We consider generalizing path functional dependencies (PFDs) in Boolean complete feature logics to path description dependencies (PDDs) that now allow occurrences of inverse features. In particular, allowing such occurrences in component path descriptions of PDDs leads to a circumstance in which different notions of path agreement are now possible. We explore the cases of set intersection, set equality and non-empty set equality, studying in particular the decidability and complexity of entailment under combinations of these notions of path agreement.

摘要

We consider generalizing path functional dependencies (PFDs) in Boolean complete feature logics to path description dependencies (PDDs) that now allow occurrences of inverse features. In particular, allowing such occurrences in component path descriptions of PDDs leads to a circumstance in which different notions of path agreement are now possible. We explore the cases of set intersection, set equality and non-empty set equality, studying in particular the decidability and complexity of entailment under combinations of these notions of path agreement.
