Abstract

We study the complexity of reasoning in fuzzy description logics with semantics based on finite residuated lattices. For the logic \(\mathcal SHI \), we show that deciding satisfiability and subsumption of concepts, with or without a TBox, are ExpTime-complete problems. In \(\mathcal{ALCHI }\) and a variant of \(\mathcal{SI }\), these decision problems become PSpace-complete when restricted to acyclic TBoxes. This matches the known complexity bounds for reasoning in crisp description logics between \(\mathcal{ALC }\) and \(\mathcal SHI \).

4
The paper [17] actually considers the modal logic K, but the results can be easily transferred to \(\mathcal{ALC }\).
 
5
In \({L\text{-}\mathcal{SI }_\mathsf c }\), roles are restricted to be crisp.
 
6
For special lattices, in particular total orders with the so-called Zadeh semantics, this blowup can be avoided [30].
 
7
It is easy to find the remaining \(n-m\) witnesses. For each \(y\in \Delta ^\mathcal I \) we have \(r^\mathcal I (x,y)\,{\otimes } \,C^\mathcal I (y)\le (\exists r.C)^\mathcal I (x)\) and thus, any choice of additional elements of the domain would suffice.
 
8
Recall that we consider the lattice \(L\) to be fixed, and thus it is not part of the input.
 
9
The acyclicity of \(\mathcal T \) ensures that this is well-defined.
 
10
This definition is based on the construction for crisp \(\mathcal SHI \) [24].
