Abstract
In general, the set of stable models of a recursive propositional logic program can be quite complex. For example, it follows from results of Marek, Nerode, and Remmel [8] that there exists finite predicate logic programs and recursive propositional logic programs which have stable models but no hyperarithmetic stable models. In this paper, we shall define several conditions which ensure that recursive logic program has a stable model which is recursive.
