Paper abstract bibtex 3 downloads Preference trees, or P-trees for short, offer an intuitive and often concise way of representing preferences over combinatorial domains. In this paper, we propose an alternative definition of p-trees, and formally define their compact representation that exploits occurrences of identical subtrees. We show that p-trees generalize lexicographic preference trees and are strictly more expressive. We relate p-trees to answer-set optimization programs and possibilistic logic theories. Finally, we study reasoning with p-trees and establish computational complexity results for key reasoning tasks of comparing outcomes with respect to orders defined by p-trees, and of finding optimal outcomes.
