On the Complexity of Finding Second-Best Abductive Explanations
While looking for abductive explanations of a given set of manifestations, an
ordering between possible solutions is often assumed. The complexity of
finding/verifying optimal solutions is already known. In this paper we consider
the computational complexity of finding second-best solutions. We consider
different orderings, and consider also different possible definitions of what a
second-best solution is
