- P. M. Dung’s three-valued semantics has been accepted as the de facto paradigm for abstract argumentation. However, in real-world applications arguments usually have a much finer range of values. This paper is one of the foundational papers establishing rigorous conditions for extending Dung’s three-valued semantics and provides a methodology for the development of semantics of numerical argumentation frameworks. It establishes criteria for functions suitable for the characterisation of opposition and aggregation of attacks, provides a novel method to compute the strength of arguments based on initial values, and proves the convergence of systems of equations to equilibrium values.
