Etherington, Mercer and Reiter showed, on the basis of ideas of Bossu and Siegel, that circumscription cannot lead to inconsistency for universal formulas. We extend this result in three directions: to formulas of a more general syntactic form, to circumscr~tion with some predicate symbols allowed t

We present some algorithmic unsolvability and incompleteness results in game theory and discuss their significance. The main theorem presents a class of n-person games, where each player's strategy set is the real line and payoffs are continuous functions, for which there could not possibly exist a
This paper giw's more general conditions under which McCarthy's circumscription is consistent, allowing application of the method outside the domain of universal sentences. It is shown that circumscription as presented here continues to correspond to the semantic model of minimization. Some applicat
