Research Type Theoretical In this paper we take a first step of bridging the gap between monotonic and non-monotonic reasoning by analyzing the complexity of intractable abduction problems under the seemingly overlooked but natural parameter n: the number of variables in the knowledge base. We obtain several positive results for ΣP 2 as well as NP- and co NP-complete fragments... We complement this with lower bounds and for many fragments rule out improvements under the (strong) exponential-time hypothesis.
