Abstract

In this paper we explain the design and preliminary implementation of a solver for the positive satisfiability problem of concepts in a fuzzy description logic over the infinite-valued product logic. This very solver also answers 1-satisfiability in quasi-witnessed models. The solver works by first performing a direct reduction of the problem to a satisfiability problem of a quantifier free boolean formula with non-linear real arithmetic properties, and secondly solves the resulting formula with an SMT solver. We show that the satisfiability problem for such formulas is still a very challenging problem for even the most advanced SMT solvers, and so it represents an interesting problem for the community working on the theory and practice of SMT solvers.
