Abstract

We study a bimodal nonmonotonic logic MBNF suggested in [1ifschitz, 1994] as a generalization of a number of nonmonotonic formalisms . We show first that it is equivalent to a certain nonmodal system involving rules of a special kind . Next , it is shown that the latter admits a modal representation that uses only one modal operator, the ope rator of belief. Moreover, under this translation , the models of MBNF correspond to §-expansions of the associated modal nonmonotonic logic. Finally, we show that, as far as such models are concerned, MBNF is reducible to nonmodal default consequence relations from [Bochman, 1994]. These results have general consequences concerning relationship between different formalizations of nonmonotonic reasoning.
